What are the key features of TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR?
- 16-position single-row SMT terminal strip on 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch provides high signal density in a compact surface-mount footprint
- Dual-height (-DH) housing accommodates cable connectors with varied height profiles, expanding compatibility with multiple cable assembly families
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging and keyed (-K) polarization features support error-free automated assembly in high-volume production environments
What is TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR used for?
The TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR is suited for high-density cable-to-board signal routing in embedded computing, industrial control panels, and communication equipment requiring 16 simultaneous signal connections via surface-mount technology. Its dual-height housing provides mechanical clearance for various cable assembly heights, while the keyed polarization ensures correct mating in multi-connector assemblies. This connector is frequently used in rack-mounted industrial systems and data acquisition modules where 16-channel I/O interfaces require reliable automated assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dual-height (DH) feature on the TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR enable in cable assembly designs?
The dual-height housing option on the TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR accommodates cable connector bodies of different heights, providing mechanical clearance above the PCB surface. This allows designers to use 16-position cable assemblies with varying insulation barrel diameters—typically ranging from 2 mm to 6 mm—without changing the PCB footprint or pad layout.
How does the keyed polarization (-K) option prevent mismate events in multi-connector PCB layouts using the TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR?
The -K suffix denotes a keying feature that physically prevents insertion of identical adjacent connectors into the wrong position on a PCB carrying multiple 16-position TSM connectors. By uniquely indexing each mating pair, keying eliminates mismate risk in dense boards with 2 or more TSM-108 connectors placed within 1 inch of each other, reducing field failure rates in end-user assemblies.
For a 16-channel analog data acquisition module, how does the TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR compare to a through-hole alternative?
The TSM-108-03-S-DH-A-K-TR's surface-mount design at 0.100" pitch allows all 16 channels to be soldered in a single reflow pass, whereas a through-hole header requires a separate wave-solder or hand-solder step. On a 4-layer board with 1.6 mm thickness, the SMT version saves approximately 1.5 mm in overall board height, which matters in compact enclosures for portable 16-channel data loggers.
