TSM-108-02-L-SV

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSM-108-02-L-SV is a surface mount terminal strip featuring 8 male pin contacts arranged in a single row with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. Constructed from phosphor bronze terminals and black liquid crystal polymer insulation, it utilizes a light selective gold plating configuration of 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel on the contact area. The component supports a voltage rating of 495 VAC and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Light selective gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance for reliable signal integrity.
• Surface mount termination facilitates automated assembly and secure PCB attachment.
• Liquid crystal polymer insulator ensures stability across wide thermal operating ranges.

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• High-density board-to-board interconnections
• Automotive electronic control units
• Industrial instrumentation modules

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official Samtec datasheet to confirm the exact plating specification and row configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required surface mount processing capabilities and environmental ratings for the target application.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, low-profile surface mount header is required. The 2.54 mm pitch accommodates standard through-hole socket mates. Consider the light selective plating option for applications requiring moderate corrosion protection without full gold coverage costs.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSM series of .100" surface mount terminal strips. The series offers various row counts and post heights to mate with Samtec's SSW, SSQ, and SSM socket families. It is designed for high-volume manufacturing environments requiring precise alignment and robust mechanical retention.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Samtec TSM variants with matching 8-position count and single-row layout. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 2.54 mm pitch and surface mount termination style to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
