Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does TSM-108-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR offer for surface mount applications?
TSM-108-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR provides 16 positions arranged in a dual-row (DH) configuration on a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This layout supports up to 16 signal or power connections in a compact SMT footprint, making it suitable for high-density interconnect designs where minimizing board area is critical.
What does the STL designation mean in TSM-108-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR and how does it affect soldering?
The STL designation indicates a short tail length on the contact pins, which controls insertion depth during surface mount soldering. This reduces the risk of solder bridging and ensures a controlled, repeatable solder joint profile, which is particularly important in automated reflow processes where 16 contacts across 2 rows must be soldered simultaneously.
Is TSM-108-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly, and what packaging does it come in?
Yes, TSM-108-04-STL-DH-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) format, making it directly compatible with standard pick-and-place machines. This packaging supports high-volume automated assembly lines by providing consistent component orientation across the reel, minimizing placement errors for the 16-position dual-row 0.100-inch pitch footprint.
