Key Features
- 12-position SMT terminal strip at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch with kinked tails for superior solder joint retention strength
- Dual-height (DH) design provides extended above-board pin length to accommodate tall mating connectors or add clearance for neighboring components
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume SMT production lines
Applications
The TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR is used in compact PCB designs requiring a 12-pin 0.100-inch pitch surface-mount terminal strip for board-to-board or wire-to-board signal connections. The dual-height profile provides additional pin clearance for larger mating plug housings in industrial control and embedded systems. Tape-and-reel packaging makes it efficient for high-volume SMT production of consumer electronics, industrial I/O modules, and communication devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the DH (dual-height) option mean for TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR pin length above the PCB?
The DH (dual-height) option on TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR provides a taller above-board pin stub than a standard-height TSM, giving extra clearance of several millimeters for larger mating plug housings or for components mounted near the 12-position 0.100-inch pitch connector on the PCB.
How do the kinked tails on TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR improve solder joint reliability?
The kinked (K suffix) tails on TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR create mechanical interlocking with the PCB pad solder fillet, increasing pull-out strength across all 12 contacts at 0.100-inch pitch and reducing the risk of joint fracture under vibration or thermal cycling stress compared to straight-tail SMT pins.
For which circuit-board applications is a 12-position 0.100-inch SMT terminal strip like TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR the right connector choice?
A 12-position 0.100-inch pitch SMT terminal strip suits applications such as sensor-interface breakout boards, industrial I/O modules, and embedded development boards where a moderate number of signal or power lines must be surface-mount terminated with a standard pitch that simplifies routing on 2-layer to 4-layer PCBs.
How does tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR benefit high-volume manufacturing compared to tube packaging?
Tape-and-reel packaging allows the 12-position TSM-106-04-TL-DH-A-K-TR to be loaded directly onto automated SMT pick-and-place feeders, eliminating manual component singulation and reducing per-unit handling time versus tube packaging, which translates directly to lower assembly cost per board in production runs of thousands of units.
