Key Features
- 10-position single-row horizontal SMT female socket strip at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch for low-profile board-edge interconnect
- Phosphor bronze contacts with tin-over-nickel barrier provide reliable mating force and corrosion resistance across 50+ mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports high-volume automated pick-and-place reflow assembly with consistent orientation
Applications
The SMH-105-02-L-S-TR is used in consumer electronics, IoT sensor modules, and industrial control boards where a horizontal-profile 10-position socket is needed to connect ribbon cables or daughter cards along the PCB edge. Its surface-mount termination and tape-and-reel packaging make it well-suited for high-volume automated PCB assembly, eliminating manual through-hole soldering and reducing placement cycle time. Embedded development boards and modular sensor platforms use this connector to enable field-replaceable sub-assemblies through its standard 0.100" pitch mating interface.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SMH-105-02-L-S-TR have, and what is the contact row configuration?
The SMH-105-02-L-S-TR has 10 positions arranged in a single-row layout at a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. The horizontal (L) mounting orientation places the mating direction parallel to the PCB surface, making it ideal for edge-connect applications where vertical clearance above the board is limited to less than 10 mm.
What contact finish does the SMH-105-02-L-S-TR use, and how does it affect solderability and mating reliability?
The SMH-105-02-L-S-TR uses tin (Sn) plating over a nickel (Ni) barrier on phosphor bronze contacts. Tin plating is compatible with standard lead-free SAC305 solder paste and wave or reflow processes, while the nickel barrier prevents tin migration into the base metal, maintaining mating force above 0.5 N per contact over 50 or more mating cycles.
What packaging does the SMH-105-02-L-S-TR use, and how does that benefit automated PCB assembly?
The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, which loads the 10-position SMT socket strips into a carrier tape on a standard 7-inch or 13-inch reel. This format is directly compatible with SMT pick-and-place machines, enabling placement rates of up to 5000 components per hour and eliminating orientation errors that occur with loose-in-bag components during manual assembly.
When would a designer choose the SMH-105-02-L-S-TR horizontal socket over a vertical SMT socket strip?
A horizontal socket like the SMH-105-02-L-S-TR is chosen when the mating plug must insert parallel to the PCB, reducing the overall component height above the board to roughly 5 mm. Vertical sockets require clearance of 10–15 mm above the PCB for the mating plug. In enclosures with lids closer than 10 mm to the PCB, or in stacked-board assemblies where inter-board spacing is 6 mm, the horizontal profile is the only viable option.
