The full 4-wall shroud protects the two tin-plated phosphor bronze contacts from being bent during handling or blind mating.

Solder retention tabs on the shroud provide extra hold-down force during reflow, reducing the risk of the connector lifting or shifting on the pads.
The base product number is SM02B-SH, so the -TF suffix indicates the tape-and-reel format.
