What are the key features of TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR?

  • 18-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch providing versatile signal routing in a compact 9-pin-per-row footprint
  • Double-height (DH) body profile extends the female contact engagement depth for improved mechanical retention during vibration and repeated mating cycles
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with female (F) contacts enables automated pick-and-place SMT assembly with compatibility to standard male pin header counterparts

What is TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR used for?

The TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR is designed for surface-mount board-to-board and module socket applications in industrial controllers, embedded systems, and consumer electronics where an 18-pin 0.100 inch pitch dual-row female strip is needed. Its double-height body accommodates longer male pin engagement for improved signal contact reliability in environments exposed to mechanical shock above 5 G. The SMT format and tape-and-reel packaging simplify automated assembly in medium to high volume PCB production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact pitch, row count, and positions per row for the TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR?

The TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR provides 18 total positions in a dual-row (DH) configuration with 9 contacts per row on a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch is compatible with the widest range of 0.100 inch male pin headers available in both through-hole and SMT formats for flexible mating options.

How does the double-height (DH) profile of the TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR affect male pin engagement depth?

The double-height profile increases the female socket body height by approximately 3 mm to 5 mm compared to standard-height TSM variants, accommodating male pins up to 8 mm in length. This deeper engagement raises mating retention force and reduces the risk of intermittent contact in vibration environments exceeding 5 G, common in automotive, industrial, and avionics PCB designs.

For a 9-signal-per-row SMT module socket, how does the TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR compare to using individual single-row connectors?

The TSM-109-03-F-DH-A-P-TR consolidates 18 positions into a single dual-row SMT footprint, reducing component placement to 1 pick-and-place step instead of 2 single-row operations and cutting connector land area by 20% versus two parallel single-row strips. This simplification lowers bill-of-materials cost and assembly time in production volumes above 1000 units per month.
