Key Features
- 10-contact dual-row layout (5 positions x 2 rows) at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch for high-density SMT wire-to-board termination
- Surface-mount horizontal orientation simplifies automated reflow soldering and eliminates through-hole drilling in single-sided PCB designs
- Shrouded housing (SH) provides polarization and mechanical protection for the 10 contacts, preventing mis-mating during cable connection
- Compatible with standard 2.54 mm pitch cable assemblies and IDC ribbon cable connectors for system integration flexibility
Applications
The TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A is suited for embedded computing boards, industrial controller modules, and sensor interface PCBs where a 10-contact surface-mount header provides organized cable-to-board connectivity in a space-saving horizontal orientation. Its 2.54 mm pitch dual-row layout accommodates standard ribbon cable assemblies and hand-wiring harnesses used in robotics, test equipment, and data acquisition systems. The SMT footprint allows integration with fully automated reflow assembly processes, reducing per-board assembly costs compared to equivalent through-hole connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts and what pitch spacing does the TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A provide?
The TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A provides 10 total contacts arranged in 2 rows of 5 positions each, with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch between contact centers. This standard pitch is directly compatible with common 2.54 mm ribbon cable connectors and IDC termination tools used in embedded system wiring.
What assembly process is supported by the surface-mount design of the TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A?
The TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A uses a surface-mount horizontal footprint that is compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C, allowing it to be placed and soldered alongside other SMD components in a fully automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly line without requiring separate through-hole soldering steps.
In what embedded system applications does the shrouded housing of the TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A provide the most benefit?
The shrouded (SH) housing prevents incorrect insertion of mating connectors onto the 10-pin 2.54 mm pitch header, which is especially valuable in field-serviced industrial equipment, robotics joints, and motor encoder interface boards where technicians may connect cables under time pressure or in poor lighting conditions, reducing costly mis-mating damage.
How does the TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A compare to a through-hole dual-row header for a compact sensor board design?
The surface-mount TSM-105-02-TM-SH-A eliminates the need for 10 drilled through-holes on the PCB, reducing board fabrication cost and enabling placement on single-layer PCBs. Its horizontal orientation lowers the mated connector height to approximately 8 mm above the board surface compared to 11 mm to 15 mm for a typical vertical through-hole dual-row header with mating cable.
