Key Features
- 16-position dual-row layout on 2.54 mm pitch provides a compact signal interface for embedded board-to-board connections
- Stand-off long (STL) tail style elevates the connector body for PCB clearance while extending solder joint depth for improved mechanical retention
- Dual-height (DH) body accommodates mating connectors and tall components with up to 8.51 mm vertical clearance between boards
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables seamless automated pick-and-place integration for high-volume SMT production
Applications
The TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR is used in compact board-to-board signal interconnects for embedded computing modules, sensor interface daughtercards, and industrial control hardware requiring a 16-position, 2.54 mm pitch surface-mount strip with stand-off clearance. The stand-off long tail design raises the connector above the PCB surface, providing both mechanical retention depth and clearance for components beneath the connector body. Its tape-and-reel packaging supports cost-effective high-volume automated SMT assembly in electronics manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR provide and at what pitch?
The TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR provides 16 positions arranged in 2 rows of 8 contacts each on a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This configuration is compatible with the SAMTEC TSM mating connector family and standard 2.54 mm PCB grid layouts used in embedded computing and industrial signal interfaces.
What distinguishes the stand-off long (STL) tail variant from standard surface mount tails?
Stand-off long (STL) tails include an extended section that lifts the connector body approximately 2.54 mm above the PCB surface, creating a standoff gap that allows air circulation and accommodates components positioned beneath the connector. The longer tail also increases solder joint depth compared to flush surface-mount variants, improving mechanical pull-out resistance in applications subject to connector mating forces exceeding 5 N.
For a stacked PCB design, what clearance does the dual-height body of TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR provide?
The dual-height (DH) body raises the mated connector stack to approximately 8.51 mm above the lower PCB surface. This clearance accommodates SMD capacitors, small ICs, and low-profile inductors placed between the two PCB planes, which is a common requirement in compact embedded computing stacks and modular sensor modules with component heights up to 7 mm.
Can TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR serve as a drop-in size alternative to 20-position TSM variants in space-limited PCB designs?
Yes. The 16-position TSM-108-01-STL-DH-A-K-TR is shorter by approximately 10.16 mm (4 positions x 2.54 mm) compared to a 20-position TSM variant, freeing board real estate while maintaining the same 2.54 mm pitch and dual-height mating geometry. Designers reducing signal count from 20 to 16 in a revision can substitute this part without changing the mating connector family or PCB grid.
