Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dual-height (DH) designation mean for the TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR connector body?
The dual-height (DH) designation on the TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR indicates that the connector housing is available in a taller body profile to accommodate increased board-to-board clearance. This allows designers to stack two PCBs with taller SMT components between them, such as capacitors or inductors up to several millimeters in height, without interference at the 2.54 mm pitch 16-position mating interface. It is particularly useful in embedded computing and sensor module stack designs.
Which mating headers are compatible with the TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR female socket, and how many signals does it route?
The TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR is a 16-position dual-row female socket at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch that accepts standard 2.54 mm dual-row male headers from the SAMTEC TSM series or equivalent industry-standard 2x8 pin headers. It routes 16 signals across 2 rows of 8 contacts, making it compatible with common embedded interfaces such as 16-pin expansion headers on microcontroller development boards and industrial I/O breakout modules.
How does the gold-plated contact finish of the TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR affect connector longevity in industrial use?
The gold-plated contacts on the TSM-108-02-F-DH-A-K-TR provide a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that maintains low contact resistance typically below 20 milliohms over hundreds of mating cycles, which is critical in industrial environments where vibration, humidity, and temperature cycling can degrade base-metal contact finishes. Gold plating is especially important for the 16-position 0.100" pitch interface when used in applications such as industrial control modules where board replacement or field reconfiguration is performed periodically.
