Key Features
- 4-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch terminal strip for standard signal and power routing on PCBs
- Surface-mount horizontal orientation enabling low-profile SMD assembly with automated pick-and-place
- Shielded (SH) variant providing EMI noise reduction for sensitive signal lines in high-frequency environments
- SAMTEC precision manufacturing ensuring consistent contact alignment across high-volume production runs
Applications
The TSM-104-05-H-SH-A is used in embedded computing modules, RF front-end boards, and industrial sensor interfaces where a compact 4-position 0.100 inch SMD terminal strip with shielding is required. Its horizontal single-row surface-mount configuration suits flat, low-clearance PCB assemblies where vertical header height would conflict with enclosure lids or adjacent boards. The shielded design reduces EMI coupling on sensitive analog or high-speed digital signal pairs routed through the 4-contact connector array.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does the TSM-104-05-H-SH-A use for its terminal contacts?
The TSM-104-05-H-SH-A uses a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row, single-row horizontal orientation with 4 positions total. This standard 0.100 inch pitch is compatible with a wide range of mating connectors and cable assemblies, making it straightforward to integrate into existing PCB layouts that follow the common 0.1 inch grid spacing used in embedded and instrumentation designs.
How does the shielded (SH) variant of the TSM-104-05-H-SH-A benefit signal integrity in high-frequency designs?
The shielded construction of the TSM-104-05-H-SH-A provides a grounded metallic enclosure around the 4 contact pins, reducing electromagnetic interference pickup and radiation on signal lines passing through the connector. This is particularly beneficial in analog front-end circuits operating above 10 MHz and in mixed-signal boards where digital switching noise at frequencies above 100 MHz could corrupt adjacent low-level analog signals routed through the same terminal strip.
Which PCB assembly processes are compatible with the TSM-104-05-H-SH-A surface-mount package?
The TSM-104-05-H-SH-A is designed for surface-mount assembly using standard reflow soldering processes with peak temperatures up to 260°C, compatible with SAC305 lead-free solder profiles used in modern automated SMD production lines. Its 0.100 inch pitch pad layout is handled by standard pick-and-place machines, and the horizontal orientation keeps the component height low to meet clearance requirements in slim enclosures or stacked board assemblies.
For which applications is a 4-position SMD terminal strip preferable to a through-hole header at the same pitch?
A 4-position SMD terminal strip like the TSM-104-05-H-SH-A is preferable when the PCB cannot accommodate through-hole drilling due to multi-layer routing constraints or when the assembly line is exclusively SMD-based, eliminating manual insertion steps. Applications include single-board computers, RF module edge connections, and sensor interface boards where 4 signals need reliable termination at 0.100 inch pitch without adding component height beyond the SMD profile.
