What are the key features of TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR?
- 18-position dual-row SMT terminal strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch enabling high-density surface-mount board connections
- Shielded housing (SH suffix) providing EMI protection for noise-sensitive signal lines in crowded PCB environments
- Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly at high production volumes
- Single-row vertical orientation minimizing board real estate while maintaining a robust through-board mechanical footprint
What is TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR used for?
The TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR is ideal for industrial control boards, data acquisition systems, and communication modules requiring reliable 18-position SMT terminal strip connections in space-constrained designs. Its shielded housing makes it particularly effective in mixed-signal environments where digital switching noise could couple into sensitive analog signal paths. The tape-and-reel packaging format supports high-volume automated assembly in consumer electronics, telecommunications equipment, and embedded computing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and position count of TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR and how do these support high-density SMT designs?
The TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR offers 18 positions at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row surface mount configuration, allowing designers to route 18 signals through a single compact connector while maintaining standard 0.100" pad spacing compatible with the industry's broadest selection of mating cable assemblies. This combination reduces board area requirements compared to using multiple smaller connectors for the same signal count.
How does the shielded housing on TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR reduce EMI in sensitive PCB designs?
The SH suffix shielded housing on the TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR provides a grounded metal enclosure around the 18-position contact array, attenuating radiated EMI by typically 20 dB or more in the 100 MHz to 1 GHz range. This shielding is essential for designs operating near wireless modules, high-speed digital buses, or analog front-end circuits where unshielded connectors would violate FCC Part 15 or CE emission limits.
Which assembly methods are compatible with the tape-and-reel packaging of TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix indicates the TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR is packaged in standard EIA-481 carrier tape compatible with automated surface mount placement machines from all major vendors. This format supports pick-and-place throughput rates exceeding 10,000 placements per hour in high-volume PCB assembly lines, eliminating manual placement costs for the 18-position connector compared to bulk-packaged alternatives.
When would a designer select TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR over a through-hole equivalent terminal strip?
The SMT TSM-118-05-STL-SH-P-TR is preferred over through-hole alternatives when the PCB manufacturing process is fully surface-mount with reflow soldering, as it eliminates the need for a separate wave-soldering or hand-soldering step that would add cost and cycle time. Its 18-position SMT footprint also reduces PCB thickness constraints since no drill holes are required, making it ideal for boards thinner than 1.0 mm used in compact embedded systems.
