Frequently Asked Questions
What mechanical features in TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A improve PCB alignment and solder retention?
The LM designation indicates metal locating posts that anchor the connector to the PCB during reflow soldering, preventing movement and misalignment. The board peg (PEG) mounting option adds additional mechanical retention, and the 8-pin SMT footprint on a 0.100 inch pitch ensures consistent solder joint formation across all contacts.
How does the single-row horizontal orientation of TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A benefit low-profile PCB assemblies?
The horizontal (SH-A) orientation lays the connector body flat against the PCB surface, reducing the standing height of the component significantly compared to vertical variants. This allows the 8-position connector to fit within enclosures having limited vertical clearance, which is useful in slim embedded systems, flat panel instruments, and wearable device PCBs.
What contact finish does TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A use and how does it affect connector longevity?
The mating contacts of TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A are gold-plated, while the termination contacts use tin over a nickel barrier. Gold plating on the mating interface delivers contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms and supports hundreds of mating cycles, making this connector suitable for test sockets, removable modules, and field-swappable boards.
For prototyping boards needing 8 connections, how does TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A compare to through-hole alternatives?
The TSM-108-01-LM-SH-A is an SMT part with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and 8 positions, occupying a body measuring approximately 0.8 inch in length. SMT mounting eliminates through-hole drilling, saving PCB layer space and reducing assembly cost for medium-to-high volume boards compared to comparable through-hole dual-row headers with the same 8-pin count.
