Key Features
- 12-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in compact dual-height housing for versatile board interconnects
- Gold contact finish (A) ensures low insertion force and dependable electrical performance over many mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for efficient, high-volume production runs
Applications
The TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR is suited for surface mount signal connections in industrial sensor modules, consumer electronics control boards, and medical device PCBs requiring a compact 12-position dual-row connector at standard 0.100" pitch. Its dual-height housing allows mating from two vertical positions, giving board designers flexibility when stacking modules in constrained enclosures. The gold contact finish and tape-and-reel format make it a reliable choice for automated high-volume SMT assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a sensor interface board with limited PCB space, how compact is the TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR footprint?
The TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR occupies a dual-row SMT footprint at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 12 positions, spanning approximately 0.6" in the contact-row direction. Its dual-height (DH) housing accommodates different mating stack heights on the same PCB land pattern, enabling flexible module stacking in sensor interface boards and compact embedded designs with limited board real estate.
What makes the TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR a better choice than a through-hole connector for automated SMT lines?
As a surface mount part with tape-and-reel (TR) packaging, the TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR is loaded directly onto pick-and-place machines without manual insertion, reducing assembly cycle time for the 12-position connector by more than 5 seconds per board compared to hand-placed through-hole alternatives. SMT reflow soldering also produces uniform joints on all 12 dual-row contacts simultaneously, improving consistency versus selective wave soldering used for through-hole connectors.
How does the gold contact finish on the TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR affect long-term connector reliability in industrial environments?
The gold (A) contact finish on the TSM-106-04-H-DH-A-K-TR provides a contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms and resists oxidation in environments with humidity up to 95% non-condensing. Gold plating prevents the surface corrosion that degrades bare tin or alloy contacts in industrial environments over thousands of hours of operation, maintaining reliable low-resistance connections across all 12 dual-row positions throughout the product lifetime.
