What are the key features of TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR?

  • 8-position SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with right-angle (-A) horizontal mating orientation
  • Key (-K) anti-mismating feature ensures correct connector orientation in polarized 8-pin board connections
  • Dual-height (-DH) mating profile provides flexibility for 2 different board-to-board stacking heights without part substitution

What is TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR used for?

The TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR is used in small embedded boards, sensor interface cards, and power distribution modules requiring compact 8-pin right-angle board connections. Its 0.100" pitch and keyed SMT design suits standard PCB grids in consumer electronics, IoT devices, and low-channel-count industrial controllers. The right-angle orientation allows side-entry mating in enclosures with limited vertical clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mounting style and position count does the TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR provide?

The TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR provides 8 positions in a surface mount terminal strip with right-angle (-A) horizontal mounting orientation at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The right-angle mount allows the mating interface to face the board edge rather than straight up, making it suitable for side-access enclosures and panel interfaces in embedded sensor and control systems.

How does the -SM designation in TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR differ from standard through-hole TSM variants?

The -SM designation specifies surface mount termination, meaning the TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR solders to SMT pads on the PCB surface rather than requiring through-hole vias. This is compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering at temperatures up to 260°C and allows the connector to be placed and soldered in a single SMT production pass, unlike through-hole variants that require separate wave or hand soldering of all 8 pins.

Is an 8-position keyed connector like TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR a good alternative for low-channel-count sensor interfaces?

Yes, the TSM-104-01-SM-DH-A-K-TR is an excellent choice for low-channel-count sensor interfaces requiring 4 to 8 signals at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The -K keying prevents reverse insertion across all 8 positions, which is critical when connecting analog sensor outputs or I2C/SPI buses where polarity errors could damage a 3.3 V or 5 V sensor circuit. The compact SMT footprint also minimizes PCB area consumption.
