Applications
The TSM-106-01-L-SH-A is suited for signal and low-power interconnects in industrial automation panels, test and measurement fixtures, and prototype development boards that rely on 2.54 mm standard pitch through-hole connectors. Its shrouded housing ensures correct mating orientation in field-service scenarios where connectors are swapped frequently. The peg mounting option adds mechanical retention strength, making it reliable in vibrating or shock-exposed environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the TSM-106-01-L-SH-A use?
The TSM-106-01-L-SH-A is a 12-position single-row connector on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, matching the standard 0.1-inch grid found on most development boards and industrial PCBs. This makes it directly compatible with a wide range of mating cable assemblies and IDC connectors without adapters.
How does the shrouded housing on the TSM-106-01-L-SH-A prevent mating errors in field applications?
The shrouded (SH) housing surrounds the 12-pin contact area with a keyed plastic shell that guides mating connectors into correct alignment. This prevents off-by-one insertion errors common with unshielded strips, reducing field service failures in industrial wiring harnesses and panel-mount assemblies where multiple similar connectors are present on a single board.
What is the board mounting method for the TSM-106-01-L-SH-A and why does it matter?
The TSM-106-01-L-SH-A uses a peg board mounting option, where plastic pegs press into corresponding holes in the PCB to stabilize the connector before and during soldering of its through-hole pins. This is especially beneficial in wave-soldering processes, since it maintains the connector's perpendicular positioning across all 12 pins and prevents tilt that could cause solder bridging.
When would TSM-106-01-L-SH-A be preferred over an SMT connector alternative?
The through-hole design of the TSM-106-01-L-SH-A provides superior pull-out strength compared to SMT-only alternatives, tolerating mating forces above typical SMT solder joint limits. For applications such as removable I/O panels, field-replaceable modules, or boards subject to repeated connector cycles — say, 500 or more mate/unmate operations — the through-hole retention is a key durability advantage.
