Key Features
- 14-position dual-row SMT terminal strip on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch with dual hold-down (DH) tabs for maximum mechanical retention
- Tall-low (TL) profile variant provides increased contact engagement length suitable for applications requiring additional mating stability
- Tape-and-reel (TR) format supports automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume production environments
Applications
The TSM-107-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR suits wire-to-board and signal distribution interconnects in industrial control modules, embedded computing boards, and consumer electronics where a 14-circuit SMT connector with strong mechanical retention is required. The dual hold-down tabs resist cable pull forces and board flexure, making the connector reliable in handheld instruments and portable systems. The 2.54 mm pitch is compatible with standard 0.100 inch IDC cable assemblies, simplifying cable selection in prototyping and production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What role do the dual hold-down tabs play in the TSM-107-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR's mechanical performance?
The dual hold-down (DH) tabs on the TSM-107-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR solder to dedicated pads on the PCB, providing shear and peel resistance that supplements the signal pin solder joints. In applications where cables are frequently connected and disconnected, the dual tabs distribute mechanical load across 4 solder points rather than 14, significantly reducing pad-lifting risk.
How does the tall-low (TL) profile of this connector affect mating compatibility and board clearance?
The tall-low profile raises the connector body approximately 3 mm above the PCB surface, providing additional clearance for cable entry and a longer contact engagement length compared to standard-height variants. This is beneficial in applications where cable dress angles or adjacent component heights require extra vertical clearance above the PCB.
Is TSM-107-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR compatible with standard 0.100 inch pitch IDC ribbon cable assemblies?
Yes, the 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch of the TSM-107-03-TL-DH-A-K-TR is the industry-standard spacing used by most 14-circuit IDC ribbon cable connectors. This ensures broad cable assembly compatibility from multiple suppliers, simplifying sourcing for the mating cable side of the 14-circuit interconnect.
