Key Features
- 4-position dual-row horizontal surface-mount terminal strip with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and male square-pin contacts
- Tin (Sn) over nickel (Ni) barrier contact finish for corrosion resistance and reliable solderability in SMT assembly
- Compact body measuring 0.40 x 0.41 x 0.12 inch, suited for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring horizontal mating
Applications
The TSM-104-01-F-SH-A is used in embedded computing modules, handheld instruments, and consumer electronics where a compact, low-profile horizontal-mating SMT connector with 8 male contacts is required. Its single-row horizontal mating style facilitates side-entry cable or board connections in slim enclosures. The tin-nickel contact finish ensures reliable soldering performance during SMT reflow and long-term electrical stability in PCB-to-PCB interconnects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the physical dimensions and contact finish of the TSM-104-01-F-SH-A?
The TSM-104-01-F-SH-A measures approximately 0.40 inch long by 0.41 inch deep by 0.12 inch wide, with male square-pin contacts finished in tin (Sn) over a nickel (Ni) barrier. This finish prevents corrosion and ensures consistent contact resistance across the 8 positions in SMT reflow assembly.
How does the horizontal mating orientation of TSM-104-01-F-SH-A benefit slim or handheld device designs?
The single-row horizontal (SH) mating style on the TSM-104-01-F-SH-A allows the mating socket to slide in from the side rather than from directly above the board, reducing the connector stack height. This is critical in handheld devices and slim embedded modules where vertical clearance is limited but a secure 8-contact, 0.100" pitch interconnect is still required.
How does the TSM-104-01-F-SH-A compare to a wire-to-board crimp connector for a small-signal 8-line interface?
Unlike through-hole crimp connectors that require manual insertion and potting, the TSM-104-01-F-SH-A integrates into automated SMT reflow lines due to its surface-mount termination, lowering per-unit assembly cost for high-volume production. The 0.100" pitch and 8-contact dual-row layout also reduces PCB space compared to two separate 4-position crimp housings, while the tin-nickel contact finish offers equivalent signal reliability.
