What are the key features of TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR?
- 16-position dual-row 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch SMT terminal strip with dual-height (DH) shroud provides polarized keying and contact protection in dense PCB assemblies
- Locking retention feature (-K) prevents accidental unmating of the 16-contact interface under vibration and mechanical shock in industrial and embedded applications
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly for volume SMT production runs of 2.54 mm pitch connectors
What is TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR is suited for cable-to-board and board-to-board connections in industrial control modules, embedded computing platforms, and consumer electronics requiring a robust 16-position 2.54 mm pitch SMT interface with locking retention. The dual-height shroud and high-profile housing enable easy connector identification and mating in densely populated boards. Tape-and-reel packaging streamlines high-volume SMT production with minimal manual handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR provide and in what contact arrangement?
TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR provides 16 contact positions in a dual-row arrangement at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, with 8 contacts per row. The dual-row layout at standard 2.54 mm pitch allows 16 signals to pass through a compact SMT footprint while the shrouded housing ensures consistent polarized mating orientation.
What does the dual-height shroud (DH) designation add to TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR compared to a standard shrouded TSM connector?
The dual-height (DH) shroud on TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR adds a taller outer shroud wall that provides extra contact protection and more positive mating guidance compared to single-height shrouded versions. This reduces the risk of misalignment or pin damage during cable connector insertion across the 16 positions, making it preferable in assemblies where the board is not easily accessible after installation.
In a production environment, how does tape-and-reel packaging improve assembly throughput for TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging feeds TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR connectors directly to pick-and-place machines without manual singulation, reducing placement cycle time and handling errors compared to tube or tray packaging. At 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, the SMT footprint is compatible with standard pad templates, and the reel format supports continuous high-volume SMT production with minimal line interruptions.
When should an engineer choose TSM-108-02-H-DH-A-K-TR over a non-locking 16-position 2.54 mm SMT header?
The -K locking retention feature engages when the mating cable connector is fully inserted, creating a positive mechanical lock that resists unmating forces from vibration or cable pull in industrial controllers, motor drives, and portable instrumentation. A non-locking 2.54 mm header may gradually work loose under repeated vibration cycles, causing intermittent 16-signal interface failures that are difficult to diagnose in fielded equipment.
