TSM-116-04-S-DV-A

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The TSM-116-04-S-DV-A is a dual-row surface mount pin header manufactured by Samtec. It features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch and provides 32 positions. The connector utilizes phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Designed for vertical installation, it employs solder pin termination suitable for SMD/SMT assembly processes. The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer (LCP), ensuring durability in demanding environments.

• Automotive electronic systems meeting A-series product standards
• Industrial control boards requiring robust surface mount interconnects

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the 'S' designation corresponds to the required contact plating and that the 'DV' indicates the intended surface mount variant. Cross-reference the part number with the latest manufacturer datasheets to validate compliance with current environmental and electrical specifications before procurement.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 32-position header with a 2.54 mm pitch is required for surface mount PCB assembly. Ensure the design accommodates the vertical mounting style and matches the .025 inch square contact dimensions. Consider the operating temperature range of -55 C to +125 C and the UL 94 V-0 flammability rating for suitability in the target application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This part belongs to the TSM series of .100 inch surface mount terminal strips. The series offers various row configurations and pin heights to support diverse board-to-board and wire-to-board connections. It is engineered for high reliability, often exceeding MIL-DTL-55302 test standards, making it suitable for extended life products in critical infrastructure and automotive sectors.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include TSM-116-04-G-DV-A or TSM-116-04-T-DV, provided the contact plating and termination type match the original design requirements. Verify mechanical compatibility and electrical ratings before swapping components.
