Frequently Asked Questions
What does the combination of friction-lock shroud and polarizing post offer compared to a bare 6-pin SMT header?
On the TSM-103-04-FM-DH-P-TR, the friction-lock shroud retains the mating connector against up to several Newtons of axial pull-out force, while the polarizing post ensures a 6-pin dual-row 0.100 inch pitch connection can only be made in the correct orientation, eliminating mis-insertion damage during field assembly or board testing.
How do metal locating feet improve the soldering quality of this 6-position surface mount connector?
Metal locating feet on the TSM-103-04-FM-DH-P-TR register the connector body against 0.100 inch pitch PCB pads with mechanical precision before reflow; because the feet maintain the correct standoff height, solder joint coplanarity across all 6 contacts is more consistent than with connectors relying solely on surface tension during reflow.
Is the TSM-103-04-FM-DH-P-TR appropriate for use in portable devices subject to mechanical shock?
Yes. The friction-lock shroud on this 6-position 0.100 inch pitch connector resists accidental unmating during mechanical shock events typical in portable handheld devices; paired with metal locating feet providing a stable solder connection, the TSM-103-04-FM-DH-P-TR maintains signal continuity through standard IEC shock and vibration test levels.
What procurement advantage does tape-and-reel packaging provide for the TSM-103-04-FM-DH-P-TR in mass production?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging for this 6-pin dual-row surface mount strip allows feeder-based automatic placement at 0.100 inch pitch in SMT lines, reducing per-unit labor cost versus loose or tray-packed connectors; manufacturers ordering in reel quantities also benefit from reduced handling damage and consistent component orientation during high-volume PCB assembly.
