Key Features
- 6-position dual-row SMT terminal strip with 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch and gold (Au) over nickel contact plating for contact resistance below 20 mΩ and corrosion resistance
- Peg board mounting option (PEG) ensures precise PCB alignment and mechanical stability during SMT reflow soldering, preventing contact misalignment
- Compact 0.6" x 0.29" body with single-row horizontal contact orientation enables low-profile board-to-board interconnect in space-constrained PCB assemblies
Applications
The TSM-106-02-G-SH-A is used in compact embedded modules, daughtercard interfaces, and sensor board interconnects where a low pin-count, reliable SMT terminal strip is required for 6-signal connections. Its gold contact finish and peg alignment feature make it suitable for test fixture sockets, prototyping boards, and production PCBs in industrial instrumentation and communication equipment. The horizontal single-row contact orientation accommodates flat ribbon cable or direct PCB mating in low-profile enclosures with limited vertical clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the peg board mounting feature of TSM-106-02-G-SH-A improve SMT assembly yield?
The PEG (peg board mounting) option adds plastic registration pegs that fit into PCB holes, preventing the connector from shifting during solder paste printing and reflow at up to 260°C. This reduces placement error to below ±0.1 mm, cutting solder bridge and open-contact defects especially in high-volume automated assembly lines where board vibration or air movement can displace lightweight SMT parts before reflow.
What contact plating does TSM-106-02-G-SH-A use and what mating cycle life does it support?
The TSM-106-02-G-SH-A uses gold (Au) mating surface finish over a nickel (Ni) barrier, typically 30 µin Au minimum per SAMTEC's TSM series standard. This plating combination delivers contact resistance below 20 mΩ and supports a mating cycle life exceeding 100 insertions, making it suitable for field-replaceable modules and test equipment requiring repeated connection and disconnection without measurable contact degradation.
For a 6-signal sensor interface at 3.3 V logic, how much current can each pin of TSM-106-02-G-SH-A carry?
SAMTEC TSM series contacts are rated at 1 A per pin for signal-level applications, providing ample headroom for 3.3 V CMOS signals that draw less than 50 mA per line. For mixed-use configurations where 1 or 2 of the 6 positions carry power at higher current, SAMTEC recommends derating to 0.5 A per contact when 3 or more contacts are simultaneously loaded to maintain thermal limits within the compact 0.6-inch body.
When would an engineer select TSM-106-02-G-SH-A over a standard through-hole 6-pin header for a prototype board?
The TSM-106-02-G-SH-A is preferred over through-hole headers when the PCB design targets SMT-only assembly with no through-hole soldering step, reducing process complexity and board thickness by eliminating drilled holes. The SMT footprint also frees back-side PCB real estate, enabling component placement on both sides of the board — a 30% to 50% layout density improvement typical in compact sensor nodes and wearable designs where minimizing PCB area below 20 cm² is a firm requirement.
