Frequently Asked Questions
What contact pitch and row configuration does the SMH-105-02-L-S use for board-to-board connections?
The SMH-105-02-L-S uses a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a dual-row, 10-position horizontal surface-mount layout, providing 20 total contacts. The gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) mating contact finish ensures stable, low-resistance connections across repeated mating cycles in demanding PCB assemblies.
How does the horizontal mounting orientation of SMH-105-02-L-S benefit compact PCB designs?
The horizontal SMT orientation keeps the mating connector parallel to the PCB surface, reducing overall assembly height by at least several millimeters compared to vertical connectors. This is important in space-constrained enclosures where the 0.100" pitch allows dense signal routing between boards without exceeding strict height budgets.
What soldering process is compatible with the SMH-105-02-L-S termination finish?
The SMH-105-02-L-S uses a tin (Sn) with nickel (Ni) barrier termination finish, which is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow soldering at 260 °C peak temperature. The nickel barrier prevents tin whisker migration and ensures long-term joint reliability across industrial temperature cycles from -40 °C to +85 °C.
In what types of system designs is the SMH-105-02-L-S a practical alternative to wire-to-board connectors?
The SMH-105-02-L-S is a practical drop-in for wire-to-board connectors when the design requires direct board-to-board mating at 0.100" pitch with a 10-position dual-row layout. It eliminates cable harnesses in prototyping rigs, development boards, and modular embedded systems, simplifying assembly and reducing 20-contact wiring costs.
