Key Features
- 12-position dual-row layout on .100-inch pitch provides a standard-pitch SMT connection point for common signal and power routing
- Double-height body construction accommodates increased pin length for improved solder joint strength and mechanical retention
- Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume SMT production lines
Applications
The TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR serves as a versatile board-to-board and wire-to-board terminal strip for industrial control modules, embedded computing peripherals, and prototyping platforms requiring 12 connections at the widely compatible .100-inch pitch. Its surface-mount double-height format suits compact PCB assemblies where standard through-hole terminal strips cannot be used but a robust mechanical connection is still needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the double-height body of TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR improve solder joint reliability in vibration-prone applications?
The double-height body of TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR increases the pin engagement depth within the plastic housing, adding mechanical support to the 12-position solder joint array. This reduces stress concentration at the solder fillet during mechanical vibration, making the connector more suitable for industrial motor drives, transportation electronics, and field instruments exposed to continuous vibration compared to a standard-height SMT terminal strip.
What manufacturing advantage does the tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR provide?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix indicates that TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR is packaged for automated pick-and-place equipment, allowing continuous feeder loading on standard SMT assembly lines. This eliminates manual placement of the 12-position connector and reduces placement errors, making it suitable for high-volume PCB production where cycle time and defect rate are tightly controlled.
Can TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR replace a through-hole .100-inch terminal strip when converting a legacy board design to full SMT assembly?
Yes, TSM-106-04-SS-DH-A-K-TR is designed as a surface-mount alternative to through-hole .100-inch terminal strips, providing 12 identical position assignments in the same dual-row 2.54 mm pitch grid. Converting to this SMT part eliminates the need to drill through-hole vias for the connector, saving PCB layer capacity and reducing assembly steps while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating headers at the .100-inch pitch standard.
