What are the key features of TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR?
- 6-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for standard PCB grid-aligned compact signal connections
- Tape and reel (TR) packaging for automated high-volume pick-and-place SMT assembly without manual component handling
- Dual-row 3x2 configuration provides 6 pins in a minimal 7.62 mm x 5.08 mm PCB footprint
- SAMTEC TSM series quality construction with gold-selective or tin contact finish options for reliable low-resistance mating
What is TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR is commonly used as a compact debug or programming header, JTAG connector, or 6-pin power and signal interface in embedded microcontroller boards, IoT modules, and industrial sensor nodes where board space is at a premium. Its 6-position 2.54 mm pitch dual-row layout supports standard JTAG (4-pin), SWD (2-pin plus power), SPI, or I2C breakout headers while occupying minimal PCB area. The tape-and-reel format enables seamless integration into high-volume automated SMT production lines without additional feeder modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the physical layout and pitch of the TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR, and how compact is its PCB footprint?
The TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR provides 6 positions in a dual-row, 3x2 configuration at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This 3-position per row layout results in a compact PCB footprint of approximately 7.62 mm length by 5.08 mm width, making it one of the smallest dual-row SMT terminal strips in the SAMTEC TSM series while still accommodating 6 independent signal or power connections.
For a compact embedded debug interface, how can the TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR support JTAG or SWD programming headers?
The 6-position TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR can accommodate a complete ARM SWD debug interface (SWDIO, SWCLK, GND, VCC = 4 pins) plus 2 additional signals such as SWO trace output and reset, all within the 7.62 mm x 5.08 mm footprint at 2.54 mm pitch. For JTAG, the standard 10-pin 0.100 inch header can be reduced to 6 pins by omitting TRST and optional signals, fitting micro-sized PCBs where a standard 10-pin header would consume too much board area.
Is the TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR designed for automated SMT production, and what packaging does it come in?
Yes, the TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR is supplied in tape and reel (TR) packaging, making it compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines and standard reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260 degrees C. The tape-and-reel format supports continuous feeder operation during high-volume PCB assembly runs, eliminating the handling delays associated with bulk-packaged 6-pin connectors and maintaining placement accuracy to within 0.1 mm for the 2.54 mm pitch pads.
When would a designer choose the TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR over a through-hole 6-pin header for a debug connector?
The TSM-103-02-TM-DH-A-K-TR is preferred over through-hole headers when PCB area is constrained and automated SMT assembly is required, as it eliminates 6 drilled vias and can be placed on either side of a double-sided PCB. For designs where the board is less than 1.2 mm thick or uses a 4-layer or fewer HDI stackup, SMT 6-pin headers also provide better structural fit since through-hole pins on thin boards can crack solder joints under repeated mating forces at the 2.54 mm pitch.
