What are the key features of TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR?
- 6 positions on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for compact SMT terminal strip connectivity
- Dual-row double-height (DH) body style matches mating header stack height requirements
- Polarization (P) feature prevents incorrect mating orientation on 6-pin assemblies
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated SMT pick-and-place manufacturing
- Surface-mount termination compatible with standard reflow solder processes
- Samtec TSM series precision-formed contacts for consistent signal integrity on 0.100 inch pitch
What is TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR used for?
Samtec TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR is used in compact embedded control, sensor interface, and module interconnect applications where a low pin-count 6-position, 0.100-inch pitch SMT terminal strip is required. The polarization key prevents mating errors on 6-pin boards in industrial IoT nodes, motor control sub-boards, and power management modules where incorrect connector orientation could damage circuits. Its tape-and-reel format supports high-volume automated assembly in consumer electronics and white goods production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the polarization feature of TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR prevent assembly errors on 6-position connectors?
TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR includes a physical polarization key in its 6-position, 0.100 inch pitch body that prevents inserting the mating header in the wrong orientation. On compact 6-pin interfaces where pin 1 carries a power rail and pin 6 is ground — or vice versa — reversing polarity could damage ICs rated for 3.3 V or 5 V supply. The polarization key mechanically blocks incorrect insertion during both manual and automated assembly.
What is the significance of the double-height (DH) designation in TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR for PCB layout?
The double-height (DH) designation in TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR indicates the connector body is taller than a standard single-height terminal strip, accommodating a matching double-height mating header to achieve a specific board-to-board stacking distance. This is relevant for PCB stack designs where the vertical clearance between boards must be precisely controlled — typically 4 mm to 12 mm — to fit heat sinks, shielding cans, or cable routing in the inter-board space.
When should a designer use TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR instead of a through-hole 6-pin connector at 0.100 inch pitch?
TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR is preferred when the PCB design uses a fully SMT process with no plated through-holes, saving drilling and plating cost on 6-position interfaces. For boards smaller than 50 mm × 50 mm — such as sensor modules or motor driver sub-boards — eliminating through-hole connectors also improves board rigidity and reduces assembly steps. The tape-and-reel format adds the benefit of automated placement at production line speeds above 1000 placements per hour.
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR, and which mating headers does it accept?
TSM-103-04-SM-DH-P-TR has a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) contact pitch in a dual-row, 6-position (3 pins per row) surface-mount terminal strip configuration. It mates with Samtec TW, TSW, and M20 series 2.54 mm pitch dual-row male headers as well as industry-standard 0.100 inch pitch pin headers, which are among the most widely available connector types in embedded computing and prototype development kits.
