Key Features
- 8-position dual-row SMT terminal strip on 2.54 mm pitch with single-row horizontal (SH) orientation for low-profile board-edge interconnects
- Gold-plated contacts rated 3 A per pin and 250 V AC support both power distribution and signal connectivity on compact PCBs
- Surface mount construction with flat (F) body profile enables reflow soldering integration into fully automated SMT assembly processes
Applications
The TSM-108-04-F-SH-A is suitable for low-profile board-to-board and board-to-cable connections in consumer electronics, industrial sensors, and portable medical devices where a horizontal SMT connector with a small 8-pin footprint is needed. Its 2.54 mm pitch and dual-row layout provide a secure mating interface on compact modules such as display driver boards, UART expansion headers, and analog sensor interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the SH suffix indicate on TSM-108-04-F-SH-A, and how does it affect board height?
The SH suffix stands for single-row horizontal orientation, meaning the contact rows are arranged side by side in a flat profile parallel to the PCB surface. This horizontal layout keeps the assembled height below 5 mm above the PCB, compared to approximately 8 mm for a vertical dual-row header, which is critical in flat enclosures with less than 6 mm of internal clearance.
What current and voltage ratings does each contact in TSM-108-04-F-SH-A carry?
Each of the 8 gold-plated contacts is rated at 3 A continuous current and 250 V AC working voltage. For a power rail application at 5 V, a single contact can deliver 15 W, meaning all 8 contacts together can theoretically distribute 120 W, far more than typical low-power sensor or communication interfaces require, providing ample derating margin in normal use.
In what compact applications is TSM-108-04-F-SH-A preferred over a vertical 8-pin header such as the TSM-104-01 series?
The TSM-108-04-F-SH-A is preferred when the mating connector approaches from the side rather than the top, such as in slide-in card cages or flat ribbon-cable assemblies with a maximum vertical clearance under 5 mm. The horizontal single-row profile also reduces the connector's shadow during reflow soldering, improving solder paste coverage on pads that a taller vertical body might partially obstruct.
