Key Features
- Dual-row 4-position terminal strip on 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for compact and reliable board-to-board signal routing
- Surface mount tail (TL) variant with horizontal orientation enables low-profile PCB integration without vertical clearance constraints
- Shielded housing (SH) option provides EMI protection for sensitive signal lines in noise-prone environments
Applications
The TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A is designed for board-to-board and wire-to-board connections in compact electronic assemblies where controlled-impedance signal paths are needed. Its 0.100-inch pitch dual-row layout suits backplane interconnects, test fixture interfaces, and modular PCB stacking in industrial and telecommunications equipment. The shielded configuration makes it especially effective in EMI-sensitive applications such as RF signal routing and precision measurement systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does the TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A use for PCB layout planning?
The TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A uses a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row layout with 4 total positions, providing a compact 8-contact interface on a standard grid that simplifies PCB footprint design and mating connector selection in mixed-signal assemblies.
How does the shielded housing on the TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A reduce signal interference in high-frequency board designs?
The integrated shield (SH) surrounds the signal contacts and provides a ground reference that reduces EMI coupling between adjacent signal lines, making this connector suitable for frequencies up to several hundred MHz where unshielded 2.54 mm connectors typically exhibit crosstalk exceeding acceptable limits.
Is the TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A compatible with SAMTEC's standard TSM mating connectors for dual-row stacking applications?
Yes, the TSM-104-02-TL-SH-A mates with SAMTEC's TFM or BCS series receptacles on the same 0.100 inch grid, supporting stack heights typically from 8 mm to 25 mm, and the 4-position dual-row footprint accommodates up to 8 signal pins in a space-efficient layout.
What board mounting style does the TL suffix indicate, and how does it differ from through-hole TSM variants?
The TL suffix denotes a surface mount tail configuration where the connector posts are soldered directly to SMT pads rather than inserted through drilled holes, eliminating 1.6 mm to 3.2 mm of board penetration depth and enabling assembly on single-sided or densely populated double-sided PCBs.
