Key Features
- 8-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with low-mount (LM) profile for minimal board clearance
- Single-row horizontal (SH) mating orientation enabling side-entry cable or mating connector access on compact PCBs
- Gold-plated contacts on a compact dual-row footprint ideal for space-limited embedded and industrial PCB designs
Applications
The TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A is used in compact embedded systems, sensor modules, and industrial I/O boards where a low-profile 8-position SMT connector with horizontal mating is needed to minimize PCB height. Its dual-row layout at 0.100" pitch provides 8 connections in a minimal SMT footprint suitable for modules with strict height constraints. The horizontal single-row mating orientation is ideal for panel-edge or side-accessible cable attachment points on densely populated boards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'LM' and 'SH' mean in TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A, and how do they affect PCB integration?
In TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A, 'LM' stands for low-mount, indicating the connector sits very close to the PCB surface to minimize overall board height. 'SH' stands for single-row horizontal mating, meaning the mating connector inserts horizontally from one side — useful when vertical connector access is restricted and a maximum board height of a few millimeters must be maintained.
How many positions and what pitch does TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A provide for signal routing?
The TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A has 8 positions in a dual-row configuration at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This compact 8-pin SMT footprint is compatible with standard 0.100" mating connectors and supports signal or mixed power/signal distribution in small embedded PCB designs.
Which space-constrained embedded applications are best matched to the TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A?
This connector is well-matched to wearable electronics, compact IoT sensor nodes, miniaturized industrial modules, and medical instrumentation where an 8-position SMT connector at 0.100" pitch with a low-profile horizontal mating interface saves critical board height and enables side-access cable routing in tight enclosures.
Is TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A suitable for reflow soldering in automated SMT assembly?
Yes. The TSM-108-04-LM-SH-A has surface-mount termination pads designed for standard reflow soldering at typical lead-free peak temperatures around 260°C. Its compact 8-position 0.100" pitch SMT body is compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly, and no additional through-hole pins require wave soldering.
