What are the key features of TSM-102-05-SS-SH?

  • 2-position single-row 2.54mm (0.100") pitch SMT vertical terminal strip for minimal-footprint signal interconnects
  • Short-height (SH) housing profile reducing above-board clearance requirements in low-profile PCB assemblies
  • Surface-mount termination compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering for automated production assembly
  • SAMTEC TSM-series build quality with consistent contact geometry for reliable 2-pin header mating

What is TSM-102-05-SS-SH used for?

TSM-102-05-SS-SH is used for simple 2-pin power and signal connections on sensor boards, LED driver modules, and compact IoT devices where a low-profile 2.54mm SMT header is preferred over through-hole alternatives. Its single-row 2-position layout is ideal for jumper headers, reset connectors, and battery connector interfaces on space-constrained PCBs. The short-height housing makes it suitable for slimline enclosures where vertical component height is strictly limited.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and pin count does TSM-102-05-SS-SH support for compact SMT board connections?

TSM-102-05-SS-SH is a 2-position single-row connector with a 2.54mm (0.100") pitch, providing exactly 2 pins in a minimal footprint. The 2-pin configuration is commonly used for power supply connections, programming header jumpers, or simple enable/disable signal links where only 2 lines are required. The 2.54mm pitch is compatible with standard 2-pin female crimped housing cables.

How does the SH short-height housing of TSM-102-05-SS-SH benefit low-profile PCB enclosure designs?

The SH (short height) suffix specifies a reduced insulator height above the PCB, typically around 2.5mm to 3mm, compared to 5mm or more for standard-height headers. This allows TSM-102-05-SS-SH to fit inside slim enclosures with less than 5mm internal clearance above the PCB surface. For wearable devices, card-edge modules, and panel-mount boards with tight Z-height constraints, the SH profile is essential to avoid mechanical interference.

Can TSM-102-05-SS-SH be assembled using standard SMT reflow soldering processes?

Yes, TSM-102-05-SS-SH uses surface-mount termination leads on a 2.54mm pitch that are compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles up to approximately 260°C peak. The 2-pin SMT footprint is easy to stencil-print with standard apertures and places reliably on automated pick-and-place machines. For prototyping, it can also be hand-soldered to 0.100" pitch PCB pads with standard SMD soldering techniques.

What single-row alternatives to TSM-102-05-SS-SH does SAMTEC offer if more positions are needed?

SAMTEC's TSM-series scales from 2 positions up to 50 or more positions, all on the same 2.54mm (0.100") pitch grid. For example, TSM-103 provides 3 positions and TSM-104 provides 4 positions in the same SS-SH single-row short-height SMT configuration. This family consistency allows a designer to change only the position count digit in the MPN while keeping the same footprint width and housing height across the PCB layout.
