Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and pin count of the TSM-108-04-S-DH-A-K-TR connector?
The TSM-108-04-S-DH-A-K-TR features 16 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, making it compatible with standard 0.100" grid PCB layouts. This pitch is widely used in prototyping and production boards across the electronics industry.
Is the TSM-108-04-S-DH-A-K-TR suitable for automated SMT assembly lines?
Yes, the -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, enabling compatibility with standard automated pick-and-place machines. The surface mount footprint with 0.100" pitch allows precise placement on standard PCB pads, supporting high-volume assembly at typical SMT reflow soldering temperatures around 260°C peak.
What does the -DH designation mean for this SAMTEC terminal strip?
The -DH suffix specifies a dual-height housing, which provides additional vertical standoff above the PCB surface compared to standard-height variants. This extra clearance—typically several millimeters—is useful when mating connectors, cables, or adjacent components require additional vertical space on the 2.54 mm pitch grid.
How does the TSM-108-04-S-DH-A-K-TR compare to through-hole terminal strips of the same pin count?
Compared to through-hole 16-pin strips, the TSM-108-04-S-DH-A-K-TR eliminates drilling requirements and reduces board thickness constraints since there are no through-hole barrels. The surface mount design also enables smaller PCB footprints and single-sided assembly, though through-hole alternatives typically offer higher pull-out force ratings of several tens of newtons.
