What are the key features of SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR?

  • 4-position single-row horizontal SMT socket at 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch provides industry-standard female mating interface for 0.100-inch pin headers
  • Horizontal (right-angle) surface-mount orientation keeps mated connectors parallel to the PCB surface, reducing clearance height above the board
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly for volume SMT production

What is SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR used for?

The SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR is used as a compact signal receptacle in embedded systems, development boards, and industrial interface modules where horizontal cable or ribbon connector entry is required. Its 0.100-inch pitch female contacts mate with standard 0.100-inch male pin headers and ribbon cable IDC plugs, making it straightforward to integrate into existing connector ecosystems. The surface-mount horizontal body minimizes PCB height above the connector, which is critical in slim enclosures and space-constrained panel-mount assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR provide and what is the mating pitch?

The SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR provides 4 positions in a single-row layout at 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. This 4-circuit configuration is commonly used for UART, SPI, or I2C debug interfaces, where 4 signals (TX, RX, power, ground or clock, data, and two control lines) are sufficient for board-level communication in embedded designs.

For a slim enclosure design, how does the horizontal SMT orientation of SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR reduce board height?

The horizontal surface-mount body orients the mating axis parallel to the PCB surface, so the connector profile height above the board is determined by the socket body thickness rather than the full upright height of a vertical receptacle. For enclosures with less than 8mm of clearance above the PCB, the horizontal SMH series eliminates the need for right-angle adapter cables by accepting 0.100-inch pin headers directly in the horizontal direction.

Which cable assembly types are directly compatible with the female contacts of SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR?

The SMH-102-02-FM-S-TR female socket mates with standard 0.100-inch male pin headers and 4-position IDC ribbon cable plugs using 28 AWG flat cable. It is also compatible with Samtec TSW and TSM series square-post male strips, enabling direct board-to-board or cable-to-board connection without adapters in designs using the ubiquitous 2.54mm pitch connector ecosystem.
