Key Features
- 4-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for compact board layouts
- Single-row horizontal mating orientation simplifies cable routing on densely populated PCBs
- Surface mount termination enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production
Applications
The TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A is well suited for consumer electronics, industrial sensor modules, and compact embedded systems where a reliable surface-mount board-to-cable interface is needed in a minimal footprint. Its 4-position dual-row configuration supports applications such as small motor controllers, LED driver boards, and diagnostic interface headers where pin-count efficiency and automated assembly are priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does the TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A provide, and how are they arranged?
The TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A is a 4-position dual-row connector with 8 total contacts arranged in 2 rows of 4 at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This layout keeps the overall connector footprint compact while providing enough contacts for small multi-signal or mixed power-and-signal cable assemblies.
Which PCB assembly process is the TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A optimized for, and what does that mean for production throughput?
The TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A uses surface mount termination, making it compatible with standard SMT reflow processes. This allows it to be placed by automated pick-and-place equipment alongside other SMT components, eliminating hand-soldering steps and enabling throughput rates typical of high-volume SMT lines handling boards at speeds of hundreds of placements per minute.
When is the TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A a practical alternative to through-hole terminal strips in space-constrained designs?
In designs where board thickness is limited to less than 1.6 mm or where the opposite PCB side must remain clear for heat spreaders or mounting hardware, the SMT TSM-104-02-STL-SH-A avoids the through-hole barrel drilling that would otherwise reduce available routing layers. Its 8-contact, 0.100" pitch SMT footprint achieves a smaller keepout area than an equivalent through-hole strip with the same 4-position count.
