Key Features
- 8-position single-row layout on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch provides a standard footprint for horizontal surface-mount wire-to-board termination
- Shielded housing option (SH suffix) reduces EMI susceptibility in signal-sensitive applications such as audio, RF front-ends, and high-speed data lines
- Horizontal mating orientation keeps cable egress parallel to the PCB surface, saving vertical clearance in low-profile enclosures and stacked board assemblies
Applications
The TSM-108-05-S-SH-A is used in consumer electronics, medical instruments, and industrial control modules where a shielded 8-position horizontal SMT strip saves board height while maintaining EMI compliance. Its 2.54 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint make it compatible with standard PCB assembly processes, enabling high-volume automated production without through-hole soldering steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and position count of the TSM-108-05-S-SH-A, and how does the horizontal orientation help in compact designs?
The TSM-108-05-S-SH-A provides 8 positions on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The horizontal mating orientation routes the mating cable parallel to the PCB surface rather than perpendicular, saving at least 5 mm to 10 mm of vertical clearance above the board—critical in low-profile enclosures and stacked PCB assemblies where height budgets are tight.
What does the SH designation on the TSM-108-05-S-SH-A indicate, and which signal types benefit most?
The SH suffix designates a shielded housing that provides a conductive shell around the 8 mating contacts, attenuating conducted and radiated EMI coupling into sensitive signal lines. Analog audio, differential pair, and RF baseband signals on frequency-sensitive boards benefit most, as unshielded connectors in those applications can introduce noise floors above -80 dBm that exceed regulatory limits.
How does the surface-mount design of the TSM-108-05-S-SH-A compare to a through-hole equivalent for high-volume PCB assembly?
As an SMT part, the TSM-108-05-S-SH-A is placed by pick-and-place machines and soldered in a standard reflow oven pass alongside other 0402 and QFN components, eliminating a separate wave-solder or hand-soldering step required for through-hole versions. This reduces assembly cycle time and enables double-sided SMT boards to consolidate connectors to one reflow pass, lowering per-unit production cost at volumes above 1000 units.
