Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the TSM-120-01-L-SH?
The TSM-120-01-L-SH uses a .100" (2.54 mm) pitch with a single-row, 20-position layout. The body measures approximately 2 inches in length with a breadth of 0.12 inch and depth of 0.28 inch, making it a compact choice for space-constrained PCB designs.
Which PCB assembly processes are compatible with the TSM-120-01-L-SH, and what mounting options does it support?
The TSM-120-01-L-SH is designed for surface mount assembly with a PEG board mounting option that holds it in place during reflow soldering. The contact termination uses tin (Sn) with a nickel (Ni) barrier, rated for standard SMT reflow temperatures. This makes it compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow oven processes used in high-volume PCB manufacturing.
How does the gold contact finish on the TSM-120-01-L-SH affect connector reliability?
The mating contacts feature gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) plating, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles. This finish is particularly advantageous in signal-level applications where stable impedance and reliable electrical contact over 20 pins are critical for system performance.
