Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the TSM-108-02-LM-SH-A?
The TSM-108-02-LM-SH-A features a dual-row, 8-position layout with a standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. This configuration provides 16 total contacts arranged to match standard 0.1-inch grid PCB footprints commonly used in embedded and industrial designs.
How does the contact finish affect soldering and mating performance for the TSM-108-02-LM-SH-A?
The mating contacts are gold-plated for low contact resistance and durability across many mating cycles, while the termination contacts use tin (Sn) with a nickel (Ni) barrier, which is compatible with standard Sn-Pb and lead-free solder processes at reflow temperatures up to 260°C.
What are the board mounting options and body dimensions for integrating this connector into a compact PCB design?
The TSM-108-02-LM-SH-A uses a PEG board mounting option for mechanical retention during soldering. The connector body measures 0.8 inch in length, 0.29 inch in depth, and 0.12 inch in breadth, fitting within tight PCB layouts typical of 16-pin dual-row interconnect footprints.
Is the TSM-108-02-LM-SH-A suitable for high-cycle-count industrial applications?
Yes. The gold-plated mating contacts support high mating cycle counts, making this connector well-suited for industrial control panels, test fixtures, and module interfaces where connectors are engaged and disengaged frequently. The tin-nickel termination contacts also ensure robust PCB attachment over a standard operating temperature range.
