What are the key features of TSM-108-05-TL-SH?

  • 8-position dual-row layout at 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch in a compact surface mount footprint for space-constrained PCBs
  • Shrouded (SH) housing provides mechanical polarization and protects contacts from debris and accidental damage during assembly
  • Single-row vertical (TL) orientation enables low-profile board-to-board interconnection with consistent mating depth
  • Surface mount design is fully compatible with automated reflow soldering at standard SMT process temperatures

What is TSM-108-05-TL-SH used for?

The TSM-108-05-TL-SH is ideal for low-profile board-to-board and wire-to-board signal connections in industrial control modules, embedded computing daughtercards, and consumer electronics where a shrouded 8-position connector at 0.100 inch pitch is required. Its surface mount footprint supports dense PCB layouts used in robotics control boards, sensor interface modules, and IoT edge devices. The shroud and polarization features prevent mis-mating during maintenance cycles in field-deployed equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What configuration does the TSM-108-05-TL-SH provide in terms of positions and pitch?

The TSM-108-05-TL-SH is an 8-position dual-row terminal strip with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The single-row vertical orientation and shrouded housing combine to give a low-profile, polarized surface mount interconnect that fits standard 0.100 inch footprints on most PCB design libraries.

How does the shroud (SH) on the TSM-108-05-TL-SH improve reliability in field-service environments?

The shrouded housing physically guides the mating connector into the correct 8-position alignment, preventing mis-insertion that could short or bend the contacts. It also shields the contact area from dust and accidental contact, which is valuable in industrial control cabinets and embedded modules subject to vibration or contamination during field service.

Can the TSM-108-05-TL-SH be used in a high-volume automated assembly line?

Yes, the surface mount (SM) package of the TSM-108-05-TL-SH is compatible with pick-and-place machines and standard reflow soldering profiles. With only 8 positions at 2.54 mm pitch, placement accuracy requirements are manageable, and the connector's footprint is well-supported in common PCB CAD libraries, reducing setup time for automated SMT lines.

What signal types and voltage levels is the TSM-108-05-TL-SH typically used with?

The TSM-108-05-TL-SH is commonly used for low-voltage digital signals at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels, as well as analog sensor signals and low-power supply rails up to the connector's rated voltage. Its 8 positions provide enough contacts for SPI, I2C, UART, or mixed power-and-signal interfaces in embedded and industrial PCB designs.
