What are the key features of TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR?

  • 15-position dual-row terminal strip on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch offering broad compatibility with standard 0.100-inch mating headers
  • Shrouded single-row vertical housing provides mechanical keying to prevent incorrect connector insertion during field assembly
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) delivery format supports automated surface-mount pick-and-place production with no manual loading

What is TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR used for?

The TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR is used in industrial control boards, embedded computing modules, and test-and-measurement equipment where a keyed 2.54 mm pitch surface-mount header is needed for reliable cable-to-board connections. Its 15-position layout provides adequate signal count for parallel data buses, motor control interfaces, and mixed signal/power connector applications. The shrouded housing ensures correct orientation during maintenance or field replacement, reducing connector-swap errors in systems serviced by non-specialist technicians.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the shrouded housing on the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR prevent mis-mating compared to an open-pin header?

The shroud physically blocks insertion unless the mating IDC or discrete wire connector is correctly oriented, acting as a mechanical key that rules out 180-degree reversal. In a 15-position, 2.54 mm pitch connector, a reversed insertion would apply power to signal pins, so this polarization feature is an important safeguard in systems that may be serviced by non-specialist personnel.

What current rating per contact should be expected for the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR in mixed signal and power applications?

Standard 2.54 mm pitch TSM-series contacts are rated for approximately 3 A per contact at a maximum temperature rise of 30°C above ambient. In a 15-position strip, selectively combining multiple adjacent contacts for power delivery allows carrying several amps of supply current alongside lower-current digital signal lines on the same connector.

How does surface-mount placement of the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR affect PCB layer design compared to through-hole alternatives?

Because the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR is surface-mount, it eliminates the 15 through-holes that a DIP header would require, freeing routing channels on inner layers beneath the connector footprint. In 4-layer or higher PCBs this can reduce via count and improve impedance control for high-speed signals that would otherwise be forced around a through-hole keep-out zone.

Is the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR compatible with standard 0.100-inch IDC ribbon cable connectors commonly used in lab prototyping?

Yes, the 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch of the TSM-115-05-TL-SH-P-TR is the industry-standard spacing for IDC ribbon cable connectors and discrete Dupont-style wire housings. A 30-conductor 0.100-inch IDC crimp connector mates directly to the 15-position dual-row footprint, making prototyping and bench testing straightforward without custom cabling.
