Key Features
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) contact finish ensures low contact resistance and reliable mating in high-cycle applications
- Right-angle (L) termination style enables horizontal board-to-board signal routing in space-constrained enclosures
- Dual-row 6-position receptacle at 0.100 inch pitch provides 6 contacts in a 0.3 x 0.2 inch body for dense signal routing
Applications
TSM-103-02-L-DV is suited for board-to-board signal connections in embedded systems, development modules, and industrial electronics where a right-angle dual-row receptacle is needed to connect two parallel PCBs without increasing stack height. Its gold-plated contacts support reliable mating in test fixtures and backplane interconnect applications with repeated insertion. The connector is also used in robotics, IoT gateways, and instrumentation where compact horizontal connectivity and RoHS compliance are required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does TSM-103-02-L-DV use, and how does it affect connector reliability over many mating cycles?
TSM-103-02-L-DV uses gold (10 microinch) over nickel (50 microinch) on the mating contacts, which minimizes oxidation and delivers contact resistance below 20 milliohms across hundreds of insertion cycles. The tin-over-nickel finish on the termination side ensures reliable soldering to PCB pads during reflow or hand-soldering assembly.
Why is the right-angle (L) termination of TSM-103-02-L-DV beneficial for stacked or parallel PCB assemblies?
The right-angle termination routes signals horizontally between two PCBs that sit side by side or in a parallel plane, reducing the vertical height needed compared to vertical receptacles. This is critical in enclosures with restricted height clearance, such as rack-mounted instruments or embedded computing modules where a 0.3 x 0.2 inch connector body must fit between boards.
How does TSM-103-02-L-DV differ from the surface-mount tape-and-reel variant TSM-103-04-STL-DV-P-TR for a low-volume prototyping application?
TSM-103-02-L-DV ships in standard tray or loose packaging suited for manual assembly and prototyping, without the tape-and-reel cost overhead of the -TR variant. For a low-volume prototype requiring only a few units, TSM-103-02-L-DV avoids the minimum-reel quantity requirement while still providing the same 6-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch receptacle with gold-over-nickel contacts.
