Key Features
- 16 positions in dual-row 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch layout enabling compact high-density surface mount board connections
- Polarized (P) keying prevents incorrect mating orientation, reducing assembly errors in production
- Gold-plated contacts rated 350V AC and 3A current per pin deliver reliable long-term electrical performance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place SMT assembly lines
Applications
TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR is suited for embedded computing boards, industrial control panels, and communications modules where a 16-pin dual-row interconnect with polarization is required. The polarized design prevents misinsertion in field-replaceable sub-assemblies such as daughter cards and peripheral expansion boards. Its SM-DH mounting style supports reflow assembly while providing mechanical anchoring for vibration-prone environments up to 85°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'P' suffix indicate in the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR part number?
The 'P' suffix in TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR denotes a polarized connector housing. Polarization adds a keying feature that prevents incorrect insertion, which is especially important in 16-position dual-row applications where mis-mating could damage components or cause circuit failure during production or field servicing.
What are the electrical ratings for the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR terminal strip?
The TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR is rated at 350V AC working voltage with 3A current capacity per contact. The gold-plated contacts with 30 µin finish ensure contact resistance below 20 mΩ, making this 16-position connector suitable for mixed signal and power distribution applications operating across a -55°C to +125°C temperature range.
How does the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR dual through-hole tail design compare to surface-only mounting?
The DH (dual through-hole) tail design of the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR mechanically anchors the 16-position connector body to the PCB with 4 through-hole solder points, providing pull-out strength exceeding 10 lb versus the minimal mechanical retention of surface-only solder pads. This dual-anchor approach is critical for industrial boards that face thermal cycling between -55°C and 125°C or mechanical shock.
Is the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR suitable for automated high-volume PCB manufacturing?
Yes, the TR (tape-and-reel) suffix confirms the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR is packaged on standard carrier tape for automated pick-and-place equipment. The surface mount body allows standard reflow soldering at up to 260°C peak, while the through-hole tails provide additional post-reflow solder fillets, supporting high-volume production with both SMT and selective soldering processes.
What board spacing or mating connector does the TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR require?
The TSM-108-03-T-DH-P-TR uses the 0.100" (2.54 mm) industry-standard pitch, making it compatible with SAMTEC's TSW and TLW series mating receptacles as well as many standard 2.54 mm dual-row headers. The 16-position dual-row footprint spans approximately 0.700" x 0.300" (17.78 mm x 7.62 mm) on the PCB, fitting within typical daughter-card and expansion module space allocations.
