TSM-113-04-TM-DV

Rectangular connectors has become an increasingly popular type of connector in the modern electronics industry. There are many varieties of rectangular connectors available. As the name suggests, rectangular connectors are typically composed of a rectangular body with protruding pins, while the type of material used to manufacture the rectangular connector determines its application fields.

The TSM-113-04-TM-DV is a rectangular connector which falls within the family of rectangular connectors known as headers, male pins. These rectangular connectors feature a small plastic body and two metal pins, allowing them to be connected to signal and power boards. The body is typically made from ABS or ABS-POM plastic materials, and the pins are made from nickel plated metal.

The applications of such rectangular connectors mainly include low voltage DC, low frequency AC, and RF applications. As the pins are made from metal, the connectors are also suitable for applications that require electromagnetic interference protection. From an electrical and signal view, the two pins of the header can be used for power, control and signal transmission.

In terms of working principle, the TSM-113-04-TM-DV header can be used for direct soldering and quick connect applications. The direct soldering method is the most common, making use of the large contact area link on the header to solder the wires directly on the pins. This ensures a strong electrical connection between the two boards. The quick connect method uses a specialised quick connect terminal that clips on to the header pins and is then soldered to the board.

Although the TSM-113-04-TM-DV header is relatively simple, it is a cost effective solution for applications such as soldering, power, control and signal transmission. Furthermore, as it is designed to be a very small form factor, it is perfect for applications that require a compact module. As such, the TSM-113-04-TM-DV header falls within the family of rectangular connectors known as headers, male pins, and is a very popular, versatile solution for electronics projects.
