Key Features
- 32-position single-row through-hole socket on 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch with low-profile body for minimal height clearance
- Gold (30 µin) over Nickel (50 µin) mating contact finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact over many insertion cycles
- Straight solder termination and 1-week factory lead time support fast PCB prototyping and low-to-medium volume production schedules
Applications
The SL-132-T-12 is used as a low-profile, removable PCB socket in backplane systems, prototyping boards, and modular embedded computing designs. Its 32-position single-row layout at 2.54 mm pitch accommodates standard 0.100" pitch headers, making it compatible with a wide range of mating pin strip connectors. Engineers select this socket for applications requiring reliable repeated mating such as daughter card sockets, test jig fixtures, and field-replaceable module interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact finish specification of the SL-132-T-12 and why does it matter for socket longevity?
The SL-132-T-12 uses gold (30 µin) over nickel (50 µin) plating on its mating contacts. The 30 µin gold layer provides excellent corrosion resistance and stable low contact resistance across hundreds of insertion and withdrawal cycles, which is significantly more durable than standard tin-plated alternatives. This makes the SL-132-T-12 well suited for applications involving frequent connector mating such as test sockets, module swap interfaces, and development boards.
How does the low-profile design of the SL-132-T-12 benefit compact PCB assembly?
The SL-132-T-12 features a low-profile body with a depth of only 0.08 inch above the PCB surface. This reduced standoff height is valuable in enclosures with tight vertical clearance, such as embedded computing modules in compact chassis, handheld instruments, and stacked PCB assemblies where minimizing the total board stack height is a design priority across all 32 positions.
Which mating connectors are compatible with the SL-132-T-12, and how does pin count affect selection?
The SL-132-T-12 is a 2.54 mm pitch single-row socket that accepts standard 0.100" pitch single-row pin headers with up to 32 pins. Compatible mating options include SAMTEC's TSW or SSW series pin strips, as well as industry-standard 2.54 mm pitch headers from other manufacturers. The 32-position count accommodates designs needing up to 32 single-row signal connections in one compact through-hole socket.
