Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR connector support?
The TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR is an 18-position connector with a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row configuration. This pitch and position count allow routing of 18 signals in a compact SMT footprint, making it a standard choice for board-to-board interconnect in industrial and embedded applications.
In what PCB assembly scenarios does the tape-and-reel option of TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR provide the most value?
The tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging of the TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR is most valuable in high-volume SMT production lines where automated pick-and-place machines place thousands of connectors per hour. It reduces manual handling errors and setup time versus bulk packaging, supporting consistent placement accuracy for all 18 positions across large production runs of industrial control boards.
How does the shrouded design of TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR reduce field failures compared to unshrouded alternatives?
The shroud on the TSM-118-05-G-SH-P-TR physically guides the mating connector into the correct 18-position alignment, eliminating offset insertions that can bend or damage contacts. This protection is especially valuable in field-serviced equipment such as test instruments and modular PLCs, where technicians may connect cables under low-visibility conditions on 0.100" pitch dual-row headers.
