What are the key features of TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A?
- 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row layout provides high-density interconnect in a compact SMT footprint
- Surface-mount termination eliminates through-hole drilling, simplifying PCB fabrication and reducing assembly cost
- Gold-plated contacts deliver low contact resistance and reliable mating cycles for high-reliability signal connections
- Horizontal single-row mating orientation suits low-profile board-to-board and wire-to-board assemblies
What is TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A used for?
TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A is used in PCB-to-PCB stacking and daughter-card interconnect applications where a 0.100" pitch, 8-position dual-row SMT header is required. Its horizontal mating direction suits panel-mount and enclosure-constrained layouts in test equipment, industrial control boards, and embedded computing modules. The SMT footprint also fits reflow-compatible automated assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pin pitch and total pin count of TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A, and how does the dual-row layout affect connector height?
TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 8 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration, giving 16 total pins. The dual-row layout keeps the connector footprint narrow while doubling pin density compared with a single-row strip of the same length, which is useful in space-limited PCB designs.
Which SAMTEC mating receptacle series mates with TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A for board-to-board stacking applications?
TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A is designed to mate with SAMTEC's SSM or SSQ series receptacles in the 0.100" family. The 8-position dual-row configuration accepts standard 2×8 female headers with 2.54 mm pitch contact spacing, supporting stacking heights from approximately 8.51 mm up to 15 mm depending on the receptacle stack-height option chosen.
How does the surface-mount termination of TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A compare to through-hole alternatives for high-volume automated assembly?
Because TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A uses SMT pads rather than through-hole leads, it is fully compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C peak temperature. This eliminates the wave-solder step required for through-hole connectors, reducing board assembly cycle time and enabling placement by standard pick-and-place machines at volumes above 1,000 pieces.
Can TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A be used in applications requiring shielding or mechanical retention beyond solder joints?
TSM-108-03-SM-SH-A includes the '-SH' polarized shroud option, providing a plastic housing that adds mechanical alignment and retention during mating. The shroud guides the mating receptacle into the correct 8-position dual-row orientation, reducing mis-insertion risk in field-serviceable equipment such as industrial I/O modules and test fixtures.
