Key Features
- 2-position spring compression contact design enabling tool-free, solderless board-to-board or board-to-housing connections with reliable wiping contact action
- Non-gendered card-edge interface eliminates the need for a mating plug connector, reducing part count and assembly steps in space-limited modules
- Compact SMT body (0.264" × 0.200") fitting dense PCB layouts where traditional 2-pin connectors would require excessive board area
- 1-week factory lead time with RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) construction for fast-turn prototype and production procurement
Applications
The SIB-102-02-F-S-LC is used in board-to-board and board-to-enclosure interconnect scenarios where a low-profile 2-contact spring compression interface is needed instead of a traditional plug-and-socket connector pair. It is well-suited for wearable electronics, IoT sensor modules, and compact embedded systems where tool-free assembly and minimal connector height are critical. The surface mount footprint and spring-contact wiping action also make it appropriate for test point interfaces and removable module connections in industrial instrumentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contact positions does SIB-102-02-F-S-LC provide, and what is the significance of its spring compression contact design?
The SIB-102-02-F-S-LC has 2 contact positions using spring compression technology, where each contact is a self-contained spring that makes electrical connection through direct compressive wiping against a mating pad or card edge — no separate mating plug is required. This spring contact design provides a reliable low-resistance connection with built-in compliance, accommodating PCB-to-PCB height tolerance variation without stressing solder joints. The 2-position count is ideal for power, differential signal pairs, or simple 2-wire sensor interfaces in compact modules.
What does the non-gendered interface on SIB-102-02-F-S-LC mean, and how does it simplify board-to-board assembly?
Non-gendered means the SIB-102-02-F-S-LC does not require a separate mating plug or socket connector on the opposing board — instead, the spring contacts compress directly onto a bare PCB pad, gold finger trace, or card edge on the mating surface. This eliminates one connector from the BOM, reduces part count, and speeds up assembly since there is no connector to align and seat on the second board. It is particularly useful in IoT module-to-baseboard docking designs where one side of the interface is a simple pad array rather than a populated connector.
What are the physical dimensions of SIB-102-02-F-S-LC, and how does its compact body enable dense SMT PCB layouts?
The SIB-102-02-F-S-LC has a body measuring 0.264" (6.7 mm) in breadth, 0.200" (5.1 mm) in length, and 0.150" (3.8 mm) in depth. This compact SMT footprint is significantly smaller than a traditional 2-pin board-to-board connector pair, making it ideal for PCBs where connector real estate is tightly limited. The surface mount termination allows the connector to be placed alongside other SMT components and processed through standard reflow soldering, simplifying manufacturing compared to through-hole alternatives.
How quickly can SIB-102-02-F-S-LC be procured, and is it RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly processes?
The SIB-102-02-F-S-LC has a factory lead time of 1 week, making it one of the faster-sourcing specialty connector options in the Samtec SIB series — suitable for rapid prototype builds and urgent production restocks. It is RoHS compliant and Pb-free (PbFree Code: Yes), meeting European Union RoHS Directive requirements and compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles at peak temperatures up to 260°C. The combination of short lead time and RoHS compliance simplifies procurement planning for both prototype and volume production phases.
