Key Features
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) mating contact finish for low contact resistance and long mating cycle life in 6-position single-row headers
- RoHS-compliant matte tin termination with nickel barrier for reliable lead-free solder joints in eco-compliant PCB assemblies
- Compact 0.3 × 0.2 inch receptacle body on 0.100" pitch enables single-row board interconnect in minimal PCB footprint
Applications
The TSM-103-01-L-DV is used in PCB-to-PCB receptacle applications within embedded systems, development boards, and industrial sensor modules where a 6-pin single-row 0.100 inch pitch header with gold contacts is required for reliable signal mating. Its RoHS-compliant construction and short 1-week lead time make it a practical choice for low-volume prototypes and production runs of IoT modules, test fixtures, and compact controller boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the TSM-103-01-L-DV use for mating, and how does it affect connector lifespan?
The TSM-103-01-L-DV uses gold (10 microinch) over nickel (50 microinch) on the mating contacts. This gold thickness is standard for connectors rated at 100 or more mating cycles, providing stable contact resistance below 20 milliohms throughout the service life. Gold over nickel is particularly beneficial in low-insertion-force 0.100 inch pitch single-row headers where fretting wear would otherwise degrade tin-plated contacts within 50 cycles in vibrating equipment.
For a 6-pin single-row PCB receptacle on a 0.100" pitch, how does TSM-103-01-L-DV's body size compare to competing connectors?
The TSM-103-01-L-DV body measures 0.3 inch in length and 0.2 inch in breadth, which at a 0.100 inch pitch corresponds to a 6-position single-row connector with minimal overhang beyond the outermost contact centers. This compact profile, approximately 7.6 mm × 5.1 mm, is comparable to similarly-sized receptacles in Molex 70543 or TE Connectivity AMPMODU families, allowing a designer to evaluate pin-compatible alternatives without changing the PCB footprint.
Given its 1-week factory lead time, is the TSM-103-01-L-DV a practical choice for prototyping schedules requiring fast board bring-up?
Yes — the 1-week factory lead time for the TSM-103-01-L-DV is significantly shorter than the 4-week to 12-week lead times common for custom or specialty connectors. For a prototype schedule targeting 2-week board turn, ordering TSM-103-01-L-DV alongside PCB fabrication ensures components arrive before bare boards, eliminating connector availability as a critical path bottleneck on compact 6-pin 0.100 inch pitch receptacle requirements.
