Key Features
- Horizontal (right-angle) SMT orientation enables side-entry mating for low-profile board-to-board or wire-to-board connections at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch
- 30 microinch gold over nickel contact finish on mating interface delivers low contact resistance and superior wear resistance across repeated insertion cycles
- TIGER BUY designation indicates high-availability stock status, minimizing procurement lead time for production and repair applications
Applications
The SMH-102-02-S-S is used in horizontal SMT board connector applications such as backplane interface headers, sensor module connections, and development board edge connectors requiring right-angle signal access. Its 4-position single-row 0.100" pitch layout is compatible with standard 2.54 mm grid PCB layouts and common ribbon cable connectors. The gold-plated mating contacts ensure reliable connectivity in applications where connectors are mated and unmated multiple times during system integration or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the SMH-102-02-S-S use, and how does it affect connector longevity?
The SMH-102-02-S-S uses a 30 microinch gold over nickel finish on its mating contacts and tin with nickel barrier on the SMT termination side. The 30 microinch gold layer provides excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance, supporting reliable signal connections over hundreds of mating cycles in 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch socket strip applications.
How does the horizontal orientation of the SMH-102-02-S-S affect PCB height and mating direction?
The horizontal (right-angle) SMT orientation of the SMH-102-02-S-S allows the mating header to insert from the board edge rather than vertically, reducing system Z-height and enabling side-access mating. With a body depth of 0.47" and breadth of 0.095", it suits low-profile enclosures and panel-mounted PCBs where vertical clearance is limited.
Is the SMH-102-02-S-S suitable for designs requiring quick availability in production quantities?
Yes, the SMH-102-02-S-S carries a TIGER BUY designation from SAMTEC, which indicates it is stocked in large quantities for immediate shipment. This makes it suitable for both prototyping and production procurement where short lead times are critical, typically shipping within 1-2 business days compared to standard 4-week lead times for custom or lower-volume connector variants at 0.100" pitch.
