Key Features
- 12-position dual-row layout at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch delivers high-density interconnection in compact board footprint
- Through-hole lock (STL) mechanically anchors connector to PCB, withstanding pull forces exceeding standard SMT-only designs
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with polarized (P) housing prevents incorrect mating and supports automated pick-and-place assembly
Applications
The TSM-106-02-STL-DH-A-P-TR is used in industrial control panels, telecom equipment, and embedded computing modules where a reliable 12-position wire-to-board connection with mechanical retention is needed. The dual-height (DH) shroud and polarized housing make it ideal for field-service environments requiring foolproof, tool-free mating in a 0.100 inch pitch footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and how many positions does the TSM-106-02-STL-DH-A-P-TR offer?
The TSM-106-02-STL-DH-A-P-TR features 12 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This industry-standard pitch provides wide compatibility with mating headers and ribbon cable assemblies, making it suitable for boards with up to 6 signal pairs per connector.
How does the STL through-hole lock feature benefit TSM-106-02-STL-DH-A-P-TR in high-vibration environments?
The STL (surface-mount with through-hole lock) termination uses pins that extend through the PCB and are soldered on the bottom side, providing mechanical anchoring that surface-mount-only connectors lack. This significantly increases pull-out resistance, often rated above 50 N, making the connector suitable for vibration levels found in industrial and automotive-adjacent applications.
Can the TSM-106-02-STL-DH-A-P-TR replace a standard 0.100 inch dual-row header, and what are the key differences?
It is mechanically compatible with standard 2.54 mm dual-row headers in terms of pitch and position count. The key differences are the dual-height shroud that provides additional mating guidance, the polarized housing preventing reverse insertion, and the STL locking feature — advantages over basic unshrouded headers with 2.54 mm pitch commonly stocked as TSW or SFM series parts.
