TSM-108-05-T-DV

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Samtec TSM-108-05-T-DV is a .100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch surface mount terminal strip featuring a double row configuration with 10 positions per row, totaling 20 contacts. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze terminals plated with matte tin and an insulator constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Designed for vertical surface mount installation, it supports a current rating of 4.1 A to 5.4 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. The unit meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Features .025 inch square post terminals designed specifically for surface mount applications
• Classified as an Extended Life Product™ passing 10-year mixed flowing gas corrosion testing
• Provides standard post heights to mate with various Samtec socket solutions

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Cable-to-board connections
• High-density electronic assemblies requiring surface mount termination

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating option required for your application, as the 'T' suffix denotes tin plating which differs from gold or silver alternatives in the same series. Confirm that the matte tin finish aligns with your solderability and corrosion resistance requirements. Ensure the surface mount footprint matches your PCB design guidelines before finalizing procurement orders.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a double-row surface mount header with tin-plated contacts is necessary. The .100 inch pitch allows compatibility with standard board layouts. Consider the operating temperature limit of +105°C against your system's thermal profile. Verify that the unshrouded design fits within your mechanical clearance constraints.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSM series of .100 inch surface mount terminal strips manufactured by Samtec. The series offers single, double, and triple row options with straight, right-angle, or mixed technology pins. It is engineered for high reliability in demanding environments, often exceeding MIL-DTL-55302 testing standards.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other TSM series variants with identical pitch and row count but different platings, such as TSM-108-05-S-DV for gold plating or TSM-108-05-L-DV for low-cost options. Cross-series replacements like SSQ or SSW may fit mechanically but differ in pin style and mating characteristics.
