Key Features
- 4-position dual-row male SMT strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a compact 0.4 x 0.28 in body
- Tin/lead (Sn/Pb) contact finish on both mating and termination surfaces for reliable solderability
- Peg-mount (PEG) board mounting option provides mechanical retention during SMT reflow
Applications
The TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A is designed for compact embedded system boards, sensor interface modules, and low-pin-count cable assemblies where a minimal-footprint, 8-contact horizontal SMT male strip is needed. Its tiny 0.4-inch body length and peg-mount board retention make it well suited for handheld diagnostic equipment, HVAC controller boards, and small power supply modules where connector real estate is at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the body size of the TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A, and how does it benefit PCB designs with tight keepout zones?
The TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A body measures 0.4 inches long by 0.28 inches deep by 0.12 inches in breadth. These compact dimensions leave minimal keepout area around the 8-contact footprint, allowing adjacent components to be placed within 0.1 inches of the connector boundary on densely populated boards, reducing total PCB area by up to 15% compared to larger-body alternatives.
Why does the TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A use tin/lead contact finish, and in which applications is that finish still preferred?
The tin/lead (Sn/Pb) contact finish on the TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A provides excellent solderability with traditional 63/37 and 60/40 solder alloys, achieving wetting at temperatures around 183°C. This finish is preferred in aerospace, defense, and certain medical device assemblies that are exempt from RoHS restrictions and require the well-characterized fatigue life and whisker-free performance of tin/lead over lead-free alternatives.
For a sensor module design requiring board-to-cable connection, how does the TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A's 4-position count compare to common low-pin-count alternatives?
A 4-position dual-row strip providing 8 contacts is a practical choice for sensor modules that need separate lines for VCC (typically 3.3 V or 5 V), GND, one or two data signals, and one or two control or interrupt lines. Compared to a 2-position or 6-position alternative, the 4-position TSM-104-01-TL-SH-A covers most standard I2C, SPI, UART, and analog sensor wiring harness needs without adding unused contacts that increase connector body length unnecessarily.
