What are the key features of TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A?
- Horizontal (right-angle) orientation reduces connector height above the PCB surface, enabling low-profile enclosure designs with side-entry mating
- Dual-row 10-position female contacts on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with shrouded housing for polarized, error-proof mating
- Right-angle SMT termination compatible with standard reflow ovens at up to 260°C, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly
- Shrouded housing (SH) provides mechanical keying, strain relief, and protection against mis-insertion in multi-connector board layouts
What is TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A used for?
The TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A is well-suited for compact industrial and consumer electronics boards requiring horizontal-exit connector access from the PCB edge, such as HMI panels, embedded computing modules, and portable test instruments. Its right-angle SMT body keeps the mated cable parallel to the board surface, saving vertical height in shallow enclosures. Designers also use this part in data-acquisition front-end boards where 10-pin dual-row ribbon cable connections operating at 3.3 V to 5 V logic levels are routed horizontally along the card edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the orientation and total pin count of the TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A connector?
The TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A is a right-angle (horizontal) connector with 10 total positions in a dual-row layout — 5 positions per row — on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The horizontal orientation directs the mating header and cable parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the effective height above the board to suit shallow enclosures.
How does the right-angle mounting of TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A benefit panel-mount or front-panel interface designs?
In panel-mount designs, the right-angle body routes ribbon cables along the board and exits at the PCB edge, enabling connectors to face the enclosure wall without the cable bending 90°. For 3.3 V or 5 V front-panel HMI or I/O boards, this saves roughly 10 mm to 15 mm of vertical clearance compared to a vertical-mount receptacle with a cable routed away from the board surface.
Is the TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A compatible with standard 2×5 pin headers and IDC ribbon cables?
Yes. The 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and 2×5 dual-row layout of the TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A directly mates with industry-standard 2×5 pin headers and 10-conductor IDC ribbon cables, which are widely available from multiple manufacturers. The shrouded housing adds polarization matching the tab key on most standard 10-pin IDC connectors, preventing reversed insertion during cable assembly.
What current rating and temperature range should designers use when specifying TSM-105-03-FM-SH-A in power and signal mixed applications?
SAMTEC rates the TSM series contacts at approximately 3 A per pin with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. In mixed power-and-signal applications, designers typically reserve 2 to 4 pins for power rails at 3.3 V or 5 V while using the remaining 6 to 8 pins for low-current logic signals, staying well within the per-contact current rating and the full industrial temperature specification.
