What are the key features of MMS-102-02-L-DH?

  • Tiger Claw 2.00 mm pitch socket strip offers secure latching-style retention for reliable board-to-board mating
  • 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel mating contact finish ensures low-resistance connections across multiple mating cycles
  • Tin-with-nickel-barrier termination enhances solderability and prevents tin-whisker formation for long-term reliability
  • Compact 0.18 inch body length suits space-constrained dual-row board connector applications in industrial designs

What is MMS-102-02-L-DH used for?

MMS-102-02-L-DH is used in board-to-board and wire-to-board applications requiring a compact 2.00 mm pitch dual-row socket connector with secure latching retention. Its Tiger Claw design is particularly well suited for portable industrial equipment, handheld test instruments, and embedded computing modules where connector retention is critical to withstand vibration and mechanical stress. The 10 µin gold mating contact finish also makes it appropriate for signal-integrity-sensitive interfaces in low-power sensor and communication boards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact plating specification on MMS-102-02-L-DH and how does it affect mating cycle life?

MMS-102-02-L-DH uses 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel on mating contacts. The gold layer provides corrosion resistance and low contact resistance, while the thick 50 µin nickel barrier prevents gold diffusion and extends the plating life across repeated mating cycles, making this socket strip suitable for applications requiring reliable signal integrity over the connector's operational life.

Which vibration-prone environments benefit from MMS-102-02-L-DH's Tiger Claw connector design compared to standard socket strips?

Environments such as industrial machinery, automotive electronics, and portable field instruments that generate continuous vibration benefit most from MMS-102-02-L-DH's Tiger Claw retention design. Unlike standard friction-fit socket strips, the Tiger Claw latch provides positive mechanical retention that resists connector separation caused by vibration or shock loads at 2.00 mm pitch dual-row board connections.

How does the 2.00 mm pitch of MMS-102-02-L-DH compare to 2.54 mm pitch alternatives for PCB space savings?

At 2.00 mm pitch, MMS-102-02-L-DH reduces the per-contact PCB footprint by approximately 21% compared to 2.54 mm pitch alternatives, enabling designers to fit more circuits in the same linear board length or shrink the connector region of space-constrained PCBs. This size advantage is particularly useful in dual-row configurations where the compounding space savings across multiple positions is significant.

What is the factory lead time for MMS-102-02-L-DH and how should procurement teams plan around it?

MMS-102-02-L-DH has a factory lead time of 2 weeks and 5 days, which is shorter than many specialty connector alternatives. Procurement teams should still plan orders at least 3 weeks before assembly start to account for shipping transit time, particularly for international deliveries. Checking distributor stock first can eliminate this lead time entirely for small-to-medium order quantities.
