What are the key features of TSM-104-05-FM-SH?

  • Dual-row 8-position female contact array on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for compatibility with industry-standard mating headers
  • Shrouded polarized housing (SH) prevents mis-mating and provides mechanical keying for error-free board assembly
  • Female (FM) contact style mates with standard male pin headers, supporting modular board-to-board interconnect architectures
  • Surface-mount termination rated for reflow soldering up to 260°C, enabling automated SMT pick-and-place production

What is TSM-104-05-FM-SH used for?

The TSM-104-05-FM-SH serves as a compact surface-mount receptacle in embedded systems, data acquisition modules, and industrial automation boards requiring reliable dual-row 0.100" pitch interconnects. Its female contact design and shrouded housing make it a natural complement to standard pin headers on daughter cards, interface modules, and expansion boards operating at 3.3 V to 5 V logic levels. Engineers select this part for applications needing polarized mating with up to 3 A per contact capacity in automated SMT assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many total positions does the TSM-104-05-FM-SH provide, and what is its contact pitch?

The TSM-104-05-FM-SH provides 8 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration — 4 positions per row — on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures direct compatibility with widely available 2×4 male pin headers and ribbon cable connectors used in embedded and industrial system designs.

For a motor control board needing polarized connectors, why is the TSM-104-05-FM-SH a strong candidate?

The shrouded housing (SH) built into the TSM-104-05-FM-SH physically keys the mating pair, preventing reverse insertion that could damage 3.3 V or 5 V logic circuits in motor control applications. Combined with female contacts rated for approximately 3 A per pin, the connector provides both signal and moderate power routing in a compact 8-pin SMT footprint suitable for board-level drives and inverter control cards.

What is the operating temperature range of the TSM-104-05-FM-SH, and does it suit outdoor equipment?

SAMTEC's TSM series is rated from -55°C to +125°C operating temperature. This range covers demanding outdoor telecom enclosures and industrial panel installations where ambient temperature can swing by more than 100°C over seasonal cycles, making the TSM-104-05-FM-SH a reliable choice for year-round outdoor deployments without derating.

When would a designer choose the TSM-104-05-FM-SH over a through-hole dual-row receptacle of the same pin count?

Designers choose the SMT variant when the PCB layout requires double-sided component placement or when automated reflow soldering at 260°C peak is the only assembly process available. Through-hole versions offer higher axial pull-out force (often exceeding 20 N per pin), but the TSM-104-05-FM-SH's SMT termination eliminates drilling, reduces board thickness, and lowers assembly cost per board in medium-to-high-volume production runs.
