What are the key features of TSM-103-05-F-SH?
- 3-position dual-row layout at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in vertical orientation provides 6 contacts for power and signal connections in a minimal SMD footprint
- SH shrouded housing with built-in polarization prevents mis-mating and protects contacts from debris, reducing field failures in automated assembly
- F termination style surface-mount configuration compatible with standard reflow solder profiles and SMT pick-and-place production equipment
What is TSM-103-05-F-SH used for?
The TSM-103-05-F-SH is used in small embedded systems, wearables, and IoT devices requiring a compact 6-contact 0.100" pitch SMD connector for power and signal wire-to-board connections. The shrouded housing ensures correct mating orientation in consumer electronics assembly where mis-mating would damage sensitive low-voltage circuits. It is also deployed in medical wearables and portable instruments where the 3-position dual-row format provides a combination of ground, power, and signal lines within a board area under 8mm long.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the F termination in TSM-103-05-F-SH differ from other SAMTEC TSM termination styles for the same 3-position 0.100" pitch body?
The F termination in SAMTEC TSM nomenclature specifies the SMD foot geometry and solder pad length. For the 3-position dual-row body at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, the F style produces a specific soldertail extension that matches standard 0.100" SMD land patterns, typically with a 2.4mm pad length for reliable solder fillet formation. This differs from the LM (low-micro) style which has a shorter tail, and the TM style which is designed for tape-and-reel dispensing in higher-volume productions.
What voltage and current ratings apply to TSM-103-05-F-SH for power distribution in a 3.3V or 5V embedded system?
SAMTEC TSM series connectors are rated at 30V AC/DC maximum voltage and approximately 1A to 1.5A per contact under standard conditions. For TSM-103-05-F-SH with 6 contacts total at 0.100" pitch, two contacts wired in parallel for power delivery can handle up to 3A continuous at 3.3V or 5V supply rails, subject to thermal derating at elevated ambient temperatures above 70°C. Signal contacts in the same 3-position body operate reliably at voltages up to 30V.
When is TSM-103-05-F-SH a better choice than a 3-pin JST PH connector for a compact embedded power interface?
TSM-103-05-F-SH is preferred over JST PH (2.0mm pitch) when the system uses a 0.100" (2.54mm) standard grid layout that accommodates the wider pitch without additional adapter harnesses. The dual-row 6-contact format also allows combining 3.3V power, ground, and 4 signal lines in fewer connector bodies than two separate JST PH 3-pin connectors, reducing BOM count. The SAMTEC SH shroud further adds mechanical keying absent in standard JST PH unshrouded versions.
What PCB footprint dimensions are required for TSM-103-05-F-SH and how much board area does it occupy?
TSM-103-05-F-SH requires a dual-row through-hole or SMD footprint with 3 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, resulting in a pad array approximately 5.08mm long (2 positions × 2.54mm) by 2.54mm wide (row-to-row spacing). The total component keep-out area including the SH shroud body is approximately 8mm × 5mm, making it one of the smaller 6-contact SMD connectors at 0.100" pitch suitable for space-constrained PCB designs.
