Key Features
- 18-position dual-row surface mount terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for high pin-count density
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production
- Shrouded dual-row header design providing polarized, keyed mating for reliable connector alignment
- Gold-plated (Au) contact finish ensuring low contact resistance and long-term connection reliability
Applications
The TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is suited for board-to-wire and board-to-board signal interconnect in industrial automation, embedded computing, and test systems requiring 18-position dual-row connectivity. Its tape-and-reel packaging supports high-volume automated assembly lines for consumer electronics, communications equipment, and modular sensor platforms. The shrouded keyed housing prevents reverse insertion, making it ideal for field-serviceable panel interfaces and system configuration headers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TR suffix indicate about the TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR packaging?
The TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging for the TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR, enabling automated pick-and-place SMT assembly. Standard reel quantities typically contain 500 to 1,000 pieces per reel, reducing handling time and improving placement accuracy during high-volume PCB manufacturing compared to tube or tray packaging.
How many contact positions does TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR provide, and how are they arranged?
The TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR provides 18 total contact positions arranged in 2 rows of 9 contacts each at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The dual-row dual-height (DH) configuration maximizes pin density within a compact footprint, supporting up to 18 independent signal or power connections per connector.
What mating connectors are compatible with the TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR for dual-row 0.100" systems?
The TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is designed to mate with SAMTEC's SFM and SQT series receptacles at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row configurations. Compatible housing families accept 18-position dual-row mating headers with standard 2.54 mm × 2.54 mm grid spacing, and the keyed shroud (K suffix) prevents misalignment during 9-row mating operations.
When is the TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR preferred over wire-to-board screw terminal blocks in industrial designs?
The TSM-109-04-F-DH-A-K-TR is preferred over screw terminals when 18-position SMT connectivity is needed with automated assembly. Its 0.100" pitch dual-row SMT design reduces board space by approximately 40% compared to equivalent screw terminal blocks, while supporting faster PCB assembly with tape-and-reel pick-and-place at standard reflow temperatures up to 260°C.
