Key Features
- 4-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch layout offering 8 contacts in a compact SMT footprint for space-efficient signal routing
- Shrouded housing (SH) providing polarized mating alignment to prevent incorrect connector insertion in automated or field assembly scenarios
- Surface-mount single-row horizontal (SS-SH-A) orientation enabling low-profile PCB mounting with reflow-compatible solder termination
Applications
The TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A is ideal for compact signal interconnects in embedded computing modules, sensor interface boards, and industrial control panels where space constraints demand low-profile SMT connectors. Its dual-row 0.100" pitch design supports 8 independent signal connections in a minimal board footprint, making it effective for I2C, SPI, and UART interface headers. The shrouded housing enables reliable polarized mating in high-vibration or automated assembly environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does the TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A provide, and what is the contact pitch?
The TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A provides 8 total contacts arranged in a 4-position dual-row configuration on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures compatibility with common ribbon cables, Dupont-style connectors, and IDC harnesses used in embedded system and development board interconnect applications.
What benefit does the shrouded housing on the TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A provide in a high-vibration industrial setting?
The shrouded housing (SH designation) of the TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A physically constrains the mating connector to a single correct orientation, preventing mis-insertion that could damage circuitry in high-vibration environments such as motor drives, robotics controllers, and transportation systems. It also provides mechanical retention that keeps the cable mate seated under vibration loads exceeding 10 G, improving long-term reliability versus unshrouded pin headers.
For an SMT reflow assembly process, how does the TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A compare to through-hole terminal strips of the same pin count?
The TSM-104-05-SS-SH-A is surface-mount compatible with a single-row horizontal orientation, eliminating the need for drilled via holes and wave soldering that through-hole terminal strips require. This reduces PCB manufacturing steps, lowers board cost for 8-contact connections, and allows full reflow assembly alongside other SMT components, which is important for dense double-sided PCB designs in consumer and industrial electronics.
