TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR SAMTEC Connector (Other) In Stock
SAMTEC TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR is a 14-position dual-row surface-mount terminal strip with 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, featuring tall-mount (TM) double-height (DH) contacts with a kinked anchor for secure SMT reflow assembly. The tape-and-reel format enables automated pick-and-place production, and the elevated contact height accommodates board-to-board stacking clearance. Available from authorized distributors with worldwide shipping.

Key Features
- 14-position dual-row 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch SMT terminal strip with tall-mount (TM) profile for elevated board-to-board stacking clearance
- Double-height (DH) contact design maximizes mating engagement depth, improving retention force and reducing contact resistance across all 14 positions
- Kinked (K) SMT tail anchors the connector body during 260°C reflow, maintaining co-planarity and preventing positional shift on automated assembly lines
Applications
The TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR is designed for board-to-board stacking applications in embedded computing, industrial control modules, and communication equipment where a taller clearance between mated boards is required. The tall-mount profile accommodates components or heat sinks on the lower board that would otherwise prevent standard-height headers from seating correctly. Tape-and-reel packaging enables cost-effective automated SMT assembly across medium- to high-volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tall-mount (TM) profile of the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR differ from a standard-mount TSM header in board stacking applications?
The tall-mount (TM) designation on the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR indicates a raised connector body that increases the board-to-board air gap when mated with a corresponding socket strip. Standard-height TSM headers typically provide 2 mm to 4 mm of clearance, whereas tall-mount variants extend this to allow components, heat sinks, or cables up to approximately 8 mm tall on the lower PCB without physically conflicting with the upper board of a 14-position dual-row stacked assembly.
What is the significance of the kinked (K) termination on the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR during SMT assembly?
The kinked (K) termination on the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR bends each contact tail to create a mechanical foot that grips the PCB pad during placement, preventing the tall connector body from tipping or sliding before solder reflow at up to 260°C. This is especially important for tall-mount connectors with a higher center of gravity, where standard straight tails may not hold co-planarity across all 14 dual-row positions during the reflow oven cycle.
Which SAMTEC socket strip series mates with the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR, and how should mating contact height be selected?
The TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR mates with SAMTEC SFM or SSM series 0.100 inch pitch dual-row 14-position socket strips. Mating contact height must be chosen to match the tall-mount (TM) post length so that all 14 positions achieve full engagement depth. SAMTEC's online parametric selector lists compatible receptacle heights from approximately 2.4 mm to 11.6 mm, and the correct choice depends on the specific TM post height and the required board-to-board standoff distance.
Is the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR a suitable connector for vibration-prone environments such as industrial machinery or transportation electronics?
Yes, the combination of double-height (DH) contacts and kinked (K) SMT termination on the TSM-107-03-TM-DH-A-K-TR provides improved mechanical robustness in vibration-prone environments. The DH contact extends engagement depth by several millimeters compared to standard-height posts, increasing retention force across all 14 positions, while the kinked tail creates additional solder joint area that resists vibration-induced fatigue. SAMTEC's TSM series meets typical industrial vibration test profiles when combined with matched SFM/SSM receptacles.
