What are the key features of TSM-106-03-S-SH-A?
- 6-position single-row horizontal layout on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch enables low-profile SMT signal connections on compact PCBs
- 30 µin gold over 50 µin nickel contact finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reliable low-resistance mating performance
- Peg board mounting option and tin-over-nickel termination ensure consistent soldering alignment and strong mechanical retention during reflow
What is TSM-106-03-S-SH-A used for?
The TSM-106-03-S-SH-A is used in compact embedded system headers, low-pin-count sensor interface connectors, and industrial control I/O boards where a horizontal surface mount 6-position strip on a 0.100" pitch is required. Its gold-plated contacts support repeated mating cycles in test fixture and development board applications. The connector also appears in consumer electronics prototyping, portable instruments, and communication module edge connectors needing a reliable small-count SMT header.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the TSM-106-03-S-SH-A use, and how does it affect connector reliability?
The TSM-106-03-S-SH-A uses 30 µin gold plating over a 50 µin nickel barrier on the mating contacts, combined with tin-over-nickel on the termination, providing excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance across all 6 positions; this finish supports multiple mating cycles without degradation, which is critical for test fixture and development board applications.
For a compact sensor interface PCB design, how does the TSM-106-03-S-SH-A's horizontal orientation reduce board height?
The horizontal (SH) orientation of the TSM-106-03-S-SH-A positions mating contacts parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the connector's vertical profile compared to vertical-mount headers; with a body depth of approximately 0.29 inch and a 0.100" pitch over 6 positions, it minimizes enclosure height constraints in compact sensor modules and handheld instruments.
When should a designer select TSM-106-03-S-SH-A over a vertical-mount 6-position header in a communication module design?
A designer should choose the TSM-106-03-S-SH-A horizontal variant over a vertical header when the mating connector must engage from the side of the PCB — for example, in slot-in communication modules or edge-card designs where 6 signals must be connected from the board edge at 0.100" pitch while keeping the total assembly height below the PCB plane clearance limit.
