What are the key features of TSM-108-03-F-SH-A?
- 8-position dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch SMT terminal strip in horizontal single-row orientation for low-profile board-level connectivity
- Tin (Sn) over Nickel (Ni) barrier termination finish compatible with standard reflow soldering at 250°C to 260°C peak for surface mount assembly
- Compact 0.8" (20.3 mm) body length and 0.12" body breadth minimizes PCB real estate while supporting up to 8 signal connections
- Square pin contact style provides four-point contact wiping action for stable, low-resistance mating throughout the connector's service life
What is TSM-108-03-F-SH-A used for?
The TSM-108-03-F-SH-A is used in compact SMT PCB designs for industrial controllers, embedded modules, and consumer electronics requiring an 8-position horizontal cable interface in a 0.8" footprint. The surface mount termination simplifies automated reflow assembly, eliminating through-hole drilling and reducing PCB fabrication costs. Its dual-row shrouded design ensures correct cable orientation in space-constrained enclosures where manual insertion errors must be minimized.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mounting style and body dimensions does the TSM-108-03-F-SH-A offer for SMT PCB designs?
The TSM-108-03-F-SH-A is a surface mount (SMT) connector with a horizontal single-row orientation. Its body measures 0.8 inches long, 0.12 inches wide, and 0.41 inches deep, making it suitable for compact PCB layouts where a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch 8-position interface must fit in a minimal footprint without through-hole drilling.
How does the Tin-Nickel termination finish on TSM-108-03-F-SH-A affect reflow soldering compatibility?
The Tin (Sn) over Nickel (Ni) barrier termination is compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering profiles with peak temperatures of 250°C to 260°C. The nickel barrier prevents solder wicking up the contact body and inhibits tin whisker growth, ensuring reliable solder joints for all 8 positions through multiple thermal cycles in production environments.
In which compact embedded system applications is the TSM-108-03-F-SH-A most suitable as a 0.100" pitch cable interface?
The TSM-108-03-F-SH-A is well suited for embedded SBC (single-board computer) expansions, IoT gateway PCBs, and industrial sensor modules where an 8-position, 2.54 mm pitch cable connection must be accomplished within a 20.3 mm board length. Its horizontal SMT form factor keeps the board profile below 0.41 inches, fitting inside slim enclosures with less than 15 mm internal height clearance.
What is the contact gender and pattern of TSM-108-03-F-SH-A, and how does this affect cable assembly selection?
The TSM-108-03-F-SH-A uses male rectangular pin contacts in a dual-row square-pin socket (SQ PIN-SKT) pattern on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This male configuration mates with corresponding female crimp housings or IDC cable assemblies using a 2×4 or 1×8 arrangement, with typical mating force below 3N per pin for field-installable cable harnesses.
