Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish is used in TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR and why does it matter?
TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR uses gold (10 microinch) over nickel (50 microinch) contact finish on the mating surfaces. Gold plating ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance over many mating cycles, making these 6-position 0.100" pitch contacts well-suited for precision signal and low-power interconnect applications requiring reliable electrical performance.
What is the significance of the E.L.P. feature on TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR for long-life designs?
The E.L.P. (Extended Life Pin) designation on TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR indicates contacts engineered for enhanced durability over repeated mating and unmating cycles. This feature is particularly valuable in test fixtures, reconfigurable systems, and field-replaceable modules where 6-position 0.100" pitch connectors may be mated and unmated dozens or hundreds of times during a product's operational life.
How is TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR typically used in industrial embedded system designs?
In industrial embedded systems, TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR is frequently used as a compact sensor interface, power distribution header, or configuration connector with just 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. Its surface mount termination, PEG mechanical support, and extended-life contacts make it a robust choice for control boards, PLCs, and other equipment operating in environments requiring reliable, long-lasting electrical connections.
How does the dual-height (DH) body of TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR affect PCB clearance requirements?
The dual-height (DH) body on TSM-103-01-L-DH-A-P-TR results in a taller connector profile, measuring approximately 0.41 inches in body depth. This additional height must be accounted for when evaluating board-to-board stack height or component clearance in enclosures. It also provides a more robust and easier-to-handle connector body for a 6-position 0.100" pitch SMT terminal strip.
