Key Features
- Tiger Beam beryllium copper contact technology provides high contact force and low insertion force simultaneously, ensuring reliable connections over extended mating cycles
- 10 µin gold over 10 µin nickel (Au/Ni) mating contact finish delivers superior corrosion resistance and contact resistance below 20 milliohms across the rated service life
- E.L.P. (Eye of the Needle press-fit) option enables solderless through-hole termination, allowing board assembly without reflow soldering for rework-friendly designs
Applications
MLE-105-01-G-DV is suited for ultra-miniature board-level socket applications in portable medical devices, wearable electronics, and micro-robotics where a compact single-row 10-position connector with gold-plated contacts is required for signal integrity. Its Tiger Beam contact design and gold plating support frequent mating and unmating cycles, making it an excellent choice for test fixtures and field-replaceable sensor modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact plating does MLE-105-01-G-DV use and how does it compare to standard tin-plated connectors?
MLE-105-01-G-DV uses 10 µin gold (Au) over 10 µin nickel (Ni) on mating contacts, providing significantly lower and more stable contact resistance than matte tin finishes. Gold plating resists oxidation and fretting corrosion, making this connector suitable for low-level signal applications below 1 V where tin-plated contacts may introduce unacceptable resistance variation over time.
What does the Tiger Beam contact design mean for mating force and durability on MLE-105-01-G-DV?
SAMTEC's Tiger Beam contact is a beryllium copper beam geometry engineered to deliver both low insertion force and high contact normal force after engagement. This dual characteristic reduces connector mating effort while maintaining contact forces in the range of 100 to 200 grams per pin, supporting reliable electrical continuity through vibration and thermal cycling environments typical of industrial or automotive electronics.
Can MLE-105-01-G-DV be used in designs that require rework or replacement of the socket without PCB damage?
Yes, the E.L.P. (Eye of the Needle) feature provides a solderless press-fit termination option, eliminating the need for reflow or wave soldering on the socket. Press-fit termination allows the connector to be removed and replaced from a through-hole PCB with standard tooling, reducing the risk of pad damage during rework compared to soldered SMT connectors—a key advantage in low-volume prototyping or field-serviceable medical equipment.
What lead time and RoHS compliance status applies to MLE-105-01-G-DV for procurement planning?
MLE-105-01-G-DV carries a factory lead time of approximately 1 week from SAMTEC and is confirmed Pb-free with a positive RoHS compliance code. This short lead time and compliance status make it straightforward to source in quantities from single prototypes up to production runs of hundreds of units without customs or material declaration complications in the EU or other regulated markets.
