What are the key features of TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A?
- 8-position dual-row 0.100 inch pitch layout maximizing connection density in minimal SMT footprint
- Surface mount horizontal termination enabling low-profile cable exits on tight board layouts
- Stainless steel hardware version (SS) providing superior corrosion resistance for harsh environments
- Industry-standard 2.54 mm pitch compatible with standard 0.100 inch IDC cable assemblies
What is TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A used for?
TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A is used in embedded system boards and test fixtures where 8 signal or power connections must exit the PCB horizontally via a low-profile surface mount header. The dual-row 0.100 inch configuration suits sensor interface boards, development kits, and data acquisition modules requiring compact ribbon-cable connectivity. Its stainless steel hardware version is preferred in industrial and outdoor equipment exposed to humidity and mild corrosive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many circuits does TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A support and what is the contact pitch?
TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A provides 8 positions with dual-row arrangement on a standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. Each row contributes 4 contacts, giving 16 total contact points in the dual-row configuration. This standard pitch is compatible with widely available 0.100 inch IDC cable assemblies and ribbon cable connectors, simplifying cable sourcing for prototype and production builds.
What mounting style does TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A use and how does the horizontal orientation affect PCB layout?
TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A uses surface mount technology (SMT) with single-row horizontal cable exit. Horizontal orientation routes the mating cable parallel to the PCB surface, reducing overall assembly height versus vertical connectors. This is critical in chassis-constrained designs where less than 10 mm of vertical clearance is available above the PCB, such as compact embedded controller boards and slim handheld instruments.
Why specify the stainless steel (SS) hardware variant of TSM-108-02-SH-A over standard brass for industrial deployments?
The SS (stainless steel) hardware designation on TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A applies corrosion-resistant alloy to the mechanical retention hardware rather than standard brass or tin-plated steel. This is important in industrial environments with salt spray, humidity above 85% RH, or mild chemical exposure where brass hardware corrodes within 500 hours. Stainless steel hardware extends connector service life beyond 1000 hours salt-spray testing in IEC 60068-2-11 conditions.
What cable assemblies are designed to mate with TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A for a quick-disconnect system?
TSM-108-02-SS-SH-A mates with Samtec's TCSD series and compatible 0.100 inch dual-row female housing cable assemblies accepting 26 to 28 AWG conductors. Standard 16-circuit 0.100 inch ribbon cable IDC connectors also mate directly. Each contact handles up to 1 A continuous at 30 VAC/DC, so the 8-position (16-contact) strip supports 8 A total current in a 2.54 mm pitch footprint without exceeding thermal limits.
