Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact count does the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A offer?
The TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A provides 8 positions at a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row horizontal surface mount configuration. This standard pitch ensures broad compatibility with mating headers and simplifies PCB layout for engineers working with common 2.54 mm pitch ecosystems.
How does the shrouded body design of the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A improve assembly reliability?
The SH (shroud) body feature of the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A provides a physical alignment guide during mating, reducing the risk of pin misalignment across all 8 positions. This is especially valuable in automated SMT assembly lines and field-maintenance scenarios where precise 2.54 mm pitch connector engagement must be achieved repeatedly.
Which board-level interconnect applications benefit most from the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A?
Applications including embedded computing daughter cards, industrial sensor modules, and low-profile consumer electronics benefit from the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A. Its 0.100" pitch surface mount footprint supports up to 8 signal or power connections per connector in systems where space is constrained and SMT reflow soldering is preferred over through-hole assembly.
Can TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A be used as an alternative to through-hole dual-row headers at 2.54 mm pitch?
Yes, the TSM-108-03-FM-SH-A is a surface mount alternative to standard through-hole dual-row headers at 2.54 mm pitch. It maintains the same 8-position count and 0.100" contact spacing, allowing engineers to migrate designs to SMT assembly without redesigning the mating connector or PCB signal routing.
