Frequently Asked Questions
How does the stainless steel hardware option on the TSM-108-03-SS-DH-A-K-TR benefit harsh-environment PCB designs?
The stainless steel (SS) hardware provides significantly higher mechanical retention force and superior corrosion resistance compared to standard brass hardware versions. This makes the TSM-108-03-SS-DH-A-K-TR suitable for industrial, outdoor, and high-vibration environments where standard connectors may loosen or corrode over a service life exceeding 10 years.
What is the pin count and pitch of the TSM-108-03-SS-DH-A-K-TR, and how does its dual-row layout help with routing?
This terminal strip provides 16 positions in a dual-row layout on a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch, delivering 8 pins per row. The dual-row arrangement reduces the connector's board footprint length by half compared to a single-row 16-pin connector, simplifying PCB routing on space-constrained boards in embedded and industrial applications.
Can the TSM-108-03-SS-DH-A-K-TR be used as a direct replacement for through-hole .100" header strips in redesigned SMT boards?
Yes, the TSM-108-03-SS-DH-A-K-TR is surface mount and shares the same .100" (2.54 mm) pitch as standard through-hole header strips, so it can mate with the same .100" pitch receptacles and cable assemblies. Switching to the SMT version eliminates drilling and wave-soldering, enabling fully reflow-based assembly and reducing board fabrication cost.
