TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR

Rectangular Connectors - Headers, Male Pins

The TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR is a rectangular connector that facilitates quick and efficient connection of signals between electrical or electronic components. It is a two-step plug-and-socket connector and is part of a larger family of rectangular connectors manufactured by by TE Connectivity and commonly used in the industry.

A rectangular connector like the TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR always consists of two separate components: a header and a male pin. The header is a rectangular block containing two sets of connector pins, each row containing one or more pins. These pins are what make the connection when the header and pin are joined together.

The pin is designed to fit snugly into the holes in the header and hold them in place. The pin is typically made from metal, and it has one or more wire loops or spades, which are used to clip onto the wire from the component being connected. The wires are usually soldered to the terminals on the header, completing the connection.

The most common type of rectangular header connection is known as a crimp connection. This is where a connector pin is crimped or "clamped" in place using a clamping tool and a specific type of connector pin. It is important to choose the right type of connector pin to get a secure and reliable connection. The type of pin used for the TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR connector is a male pin, which is designed to fit snugly into the header and allow for the secure passage of electric current to flow efficiently.

In addition to the crimp connection, the TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR connector also features solder connections which allow for the conductor to be soldered directly to the header. This type of connection is especially useful in applications where the temperature extremes to which the connector is exposed may cause the crimped connection to fail. It is important to be sure to select the correct type of connector pins or terminals for the application as improper selection can lead to connector failure.

The TSM-103-02-S-DH-TR connector is an ideal choice for applications that require efficient and secure connection of signals between electrical/electronic components. Its two-step plug-and-socket design provides a reliable connection, its male pins allow for secure passage of electric current, and its crimp and solder connection options offer a secure and reliable connection not vulnerable to temperature extremes.
