Key Features
- 4 positions dual-row configuration delivering 8 contacts at 0.100 inch pitch in a compact 0.4 inch body for space-constrained SMT boards
- Gold mating contact finish over nickel barrier ensuring low and stable contact resistance across hundreds of mating cycles
- Horizontal (SH) surface-mount orientation with PEG anchor option providing mechanical stability during reflow soldering and in-service vibration
Applications
The TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A is suitable for low-pin-count board-to-board interfaces on small embedded modules such as sensor breakout boards, battery management units, and SPI or I2C peripheral add-on cards. Its 8-contact dual-row layout at 0.100 inch pitch accommodates power, ground, and up to 6 signal lines in a body that is only 0.4 inch long. The horizontal SMT footprint with PEG stabilization allows these connectors to survive automated assembly lines and the mechanical stresses of handheld or wearable product enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A provide, and what is the connector body length?
The TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A has 4 positions in a dual-row arrangement, yielding 8 contacts at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The body measures 0.4 inch (approximately 10 mm) long, making it one of the most compact dual-row SMT terminal strips in the TSM series—suitable for boards where connector footprint must remain under 12 mm × 5 mm.
What is the contact finish on the TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A, and how does it affect mating connector selection?
The mating contacts are gold-plated over a nickel barrier, while the termination contacts use tin over nickel. Gold-plated mating surfaces maintain contact resistance below 20 mΩ after 500 insertion cycles, and they are compatible with gold, tin, or palladium-finished receptacle contacts in mating TSW or SSW series connectors at 0.100 inch pitch.
In which compact embedded designs is the TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A preferred over a 4-pin single-row connector?
The dual-row layout of the TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A reduces connector length by half compared with a single-row 8-pin connector at the same 0.100 inch pitch, shrinking the required PCB real estate from roughly 20 mm to 10 mm. This is especially valuable on Arduino Shield-compatible add-on cards, JTAG programming headers, and compact battery-management modules where available connector area is limited to under 12 mm.
Does the PEG board mounting option on the TSM-104-01-SM-SH-A provide structural support, and in what environments is it necessary?
Yes. The PEG option adds plastic pegs that insert into corresponding PCB holes, mechanically locking the connector body to the board and distributing mating forces across 4 anchor points rather than only the 8 solder joints. This is critical in handheld devices subject to 10 G vibration or 50 G drop-shock per IEC 60068-2-27, where solder joints alone on an 8-pin SMT connector can fatigue and lift after fewer than 1000 cycles.
