Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does the stainless steel hardware option provide on TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR versus standard plastic versions?
The SS (stainless steel) hardware designation on TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR adds metallic retention features that significantly increase mating force resistance and mechanical robustness compared to all-plastic housings. This matters in vibration-prone environments like industrial machinery or automotive applications, where connector retention forces typically need to exceed 20 N to prevent accidental unmating.
For a 6-channel sensor interface design, does TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR provide enough contacts for power, ground, and signal lines simultaneously?
Yes, the 6-position dual-row layout of TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR provides 6 individual contacts on a 2.54 mm (.100") pitch, which is sufficient to carry 4 signal lines plus dedicated power and ground in a single compact SMT connector. This eliminates the need for separate power headers in simple sensor modules with fewer than 4 analog or digital measurement channels.
How does TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR compare to a through-hole version of a 6-pin connector in terms of PCB routing and assembly cost?
The SMT format of TSM-103-02-SS-DH-P-TR eliminates through-hole drilling on a 2.54 mm grid, saving approximately 6 drilled vias per connector and freeing those PCB layers for signal routing. Tape-and-reel packaging also reduces per-unit placement time to under 1 second on modern automated lines, compared to 5 to 10 seconds for manual insertion of equivalent through-hole 6-pin headers.
