Frequently Asked Questions
How does the shrouded housing on the TSM-105-04-STL-SH-A benefit connector reliability in vibration-prone environments?
The shrouded housing provides positive mating guidance and protects the 5 contact positions during mating and unmating cycles. Combined with the stainless steel locking mechanism, it resists vibration-induced unmating, making this 0.100 inch pitch terminal strip suitable for industrial automation and transportation electronics where mechanical shock is common.
What PCB footprint area does the TSM-105-04-STL-SH-A require for a 5-position dual-row surface mount layout?
The TSM-105-04-STL-SH-A uses 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with 5 positions in a dual-row surface mount configuration. This yields a compact footprint suitable for standard SMT assembly processes, allowing placement on boards with 2.54 mm grid spacing that is widely supported by automated pick-and-place equipment.
When would TSM-105-04-STL-SH-A be preferred over a through-hole terminal strip for the same 5-position application?
Surface mount assembly eliminates the need for through-hole drilling, reducing PCB manufacturing costs and enabling double-sided component placement. The TSM-105-04-STL-SH-A's SMT footprint at 0.100 inch pitch supports automated reflow soldering, which improves throughput compared to wave or hand-soldering required for through-hole 5-position equivalents.
