What are the key features of TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR?

  • 8-position dual-row configuration at 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch for compact SMT board interconnect
  • Friction lock (F) retention mechanism preventing accidental connector unmating under vibration
  • Dual-height (DH) body providing additional clearance for mated board-side components
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated high-volume SMT pick-and-place assembly
  • Compact 4-position-per-row layout minimizing PCB footprint for space-constrained designs

What is TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR used for?

The TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR is ideal for compact embedded systems, IoT modules, and instrumentation boards requiring a small-footprint 8-position signal connector with secure mating. The friction lock feature ensures reliable contact retention in vibration-prone environments such as industrial sensors and portable equipment. Tape-and-reel packaging enables efficient integration into automated SMT production lines for high-volume consumer and industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the friction lock (F) feature in TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR improve connector reliability in portable equipment?

The friction lock feature in TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR adds mechanical retention force between the 8-position terminal strip and its mating connector, preventing accidental unmating under vibration or physical impact. This is especially valuable in portable devices and handheld instruments where gravity and user handling can generate intermittent forces sufficient to disconnect standard non-locking connectors, causing signal interruption or power dropout in critical circuits.

What PCB footprint area does the TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR occupy compared to larger 44- or 58-position TSM variants?

The TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR has 8 total positions (4 per row) at a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch, so the connector spans approximately 0.4 inches (10.16mm) along the row axis. This is significantly smaller than the 44-position TSM-122 variant at about 2.2 inches, making it the preferred choice when fewer than 10 signal lines are needed and PCB real estate is at a premium in compact embedded or IoT module designs.

Is the TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR compatible with standard 0.100 inch pitch mating headers from other manufacturers?

Yes, the TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR follows the industry-standard 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch, which is widely compatible with dual-row headers and sockets from multiple manufacturers including Molex, TE Connectivity, and Amphenol. Designers should verify the mating height and dual-height (DH) body clearance in the SAMTEC datasheet to ensure proper mechanical fit with the specific mating connector chosen for the board-to-board assembly.

For procurement of TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR, what packaging format should buyers specify for high-volume automated assembly?

Buyers should specify the TR suffix to receive TSM-104-04-F-DH-P-TR in tape-and-reel format, which supports automated SMT pick-and-place machines. Typical reel quantities contain 500 to 2000 pieces per reel, reducing per-unit handling cost compared to tube or cut-tape formats. For prototyping and low-volume orders under 100 pieces, cut tape or loose-pack options from SAMTEC distributors may be more economical and have shorter lead times.
