Key Features
- 5-position dual-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in horizontal (right-angle) orientation provides 10 contacts at the PCB edge for board-to-cable connections
- SH shrouded housing with polarization key prevents mis-mating and retains the mating plug under mechanical stress or vibration in industrial designs
- A horizontal angle orientation reduces connector height above PCB to below 5mm, ideal for low-profile enclosures and edge-connecting ribbon cable assemblies
Applications
The TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A is used in edge-mount wire-to-board applications where a 10-contact 0.100" pitch horizontal connector at the PCB perimeter allows cable exit parallel to the board surface in compact enclosures. Embedded computer modules and industrial PLC cards use this part for panel interface wiring harnesses where right-angle orientation saves vertical space inside sealed housings. Its shrouded keyed design is also favored in robotics and motion control systems for reliable 5-position power and signal connections that resist vibration-induced plug disengagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the A suffix indicate in TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A and how does the horizontal orientation affect PCB layout?
The A suffix in SAMTEC TSM nomenclature designates the right-angle (horizontal) orientation, where contacts exit parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular. For TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A with 5 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, the horizontal mating axis reduces the component height above the PCB to approximately 5mm or less, compared to 8mm or more for the vertical (non-A) version. This allows the connector to fit inside enclosures with less than 10mm internal height clearance while still providing 10 contacts for power and signal routing.
How does TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A compare to a 10-pin IDC box header in board-to-cable assembly?
TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A is a surface-mount 10-contact connector at 0.100" pitch, while a standard 10-pin IDC box header uses through-hole mounting at the same 2.54mm pitch. The TSM surface-mount design eliminates PCB drilling for 10 through-holes, reducing board fabrication cost and enabling component placement on both sides of the PCB. The SH shrouded housing provides comparable mating keying and contact protection to an IDC box header, but with TM reflow-compatible SMD termination tails.
What is the maximum current per contact for TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A when used for 5V power distribution in an embedded module?
SAMTEC TSM series 0.100" pitch connectors are rated at approximately 1A per contact at 30V maximum. For TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A carrying 5V DC, pairing two contacts in parallel for the power and ground returns increases current capacity to approximately 2A per rail. With 5 positions and 10 contacts total, this connector can simultaneously handle 2A on 5V supply, 2A on ground return, and carry 6 signal lines at logic levels up to 30V within the same 10-position 0.100" horizontal shrouded body.
Which cable assembly mating plug is compatible with TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A and what wire sizes does it accept?
TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A mates with SAMTEC IPSH or NPSH series 10-pin mating plug housings at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. The corresponding crimp contacts in these mating plugs accept wire gauges from 28 AWG to 22 AWG, with an insulation displacement contact (IDC) option for flat ribbon cable in 0.050" or 0.100" pitch variants. The SH shroud on TSM-105-05-TM-SH-A provides positive latching with the mating plug retention tab to prevent accidental disconnection during cable flexing.
