Key Features
- 134-position single-beam socket at 1.00 mm pitch provides high signal density in a compact surface-mount footprint for space-constrained PCB designs
- Tiger Beam contact technology delivers consistent normal force and wiping action across 134 contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connection through the rated mate-demate cycle life
- Surface-mount DV (dual-footprint) termination style enables compatibility with automated pick-and-place reflow assembly without secondary through-hole operations
- Cost-effective Tiger Beam construction reduces per-connector BOM cost while maintaining SAMTEC quality standards for commercial-grade interconnect applications
Applications
MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR is used in consumer electronics, portable instrumentation, and commercial computing boards requiring a 134-signal surface-mount interconnect at 1.00 mm pitch where both signal density and PCB space efficiency are priorities. Its Tiger Beam single-beam socket design suits camera modules, display panels, solid-state drives, and embedded processor daughterboards that benefit from low-profile connectors during automated assembly. The taped-and-reeled packaging (TR suffix) supports efficient high-volume SMT production with minimal handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signals can MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR route and at what pitch, compared to a 2.00 mm pitch alternative?
MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR provides 134 single-row contacts at 1.00 mm pitch, carrying 134 independent signals in a connector body approximately 134 mm long; a 2.00 mm pitch alternative with the same 134 positions would require a body nearly 268 mm long, meaning the 1.00 mm Tiger Beam strip saves roughly 134 mm of board edge, a critical advantage in compact portable and embedded designs.
What does the DV termination style on MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR mean for PCB land pattern design?
The DV designation indicates a dual-footprint surface-mount termination that accommodates two different PCB pad geometries on the same connector, giving layout engineers flexibility to match existing land patterns or to optimise pad size for solder joint strength without changing the 134-position 1.00 mm pitch connector part number.
Why is MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR supplied in tape-and-reel format and what production benefit does this provide?
The TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging with connectors oriented at consistent pitch for automatic SMT feeder loading; this enables pick-and-place machines to place each of the 134-position connectors at rates exceeding 5,000 placements per hour with sub-0.1 mm positional accuracy, dramatically reducing hand-placement labour cost in high-volume manufacturing runs.
Which board-to-board spacing constraints make MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR a better choice than a dual-row 0.050 inch pitch socket?
MLE-167-01-G-DV-A-TR is preferable when the mating board-to-board stack height is less than 3 mm and a single-row 1.00 mm pitch configuration distributes signal pads along one board edge rather than occupying the two-row central footprint required by 0.050 inch dual-row sockets; applications such as SSD modules, camera sensor boards, and thin display driver PCBs commonly impose these single-row, low-profile constraints.
