What are the key features of SMH-108-02-F-S?

16-position horizontal SMT socket strip at .100" (2.54 mm) pitch with Tiger Buy contact design for improved mating reliability
Gold flash over nickel (50 µin) mating finish balances cost-efficiency with adequate corrosion protection for commercial-grade applications
Horizontal surface mount orientation with 0.47 inch body depth suits edge-card and low-profile board-to-board socket designs

What is SMH-108-02-F-S used for?

The SMH-108-02-F-S is suited for low-profile board-to-board socket connections in consumer electronics, embedded modules, and prototype development boards where a 16-pin .100" pitch socket is required. Its horizontal SMT configuration and Tiger Buy contact design enable reliable mating with standard .100" pitch pin headers in cost-sensitive commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact finish does SMH-108-02-F-S use, and what insertion cycle life should designers expect?

SMH-108-02-F-S features gold flash over nickel (50 µin) on its 16 mating contacts, providing sufficient corrosion resistance for low-to-moderate insertion cycles typical of commercial products. Gold flash contact finishes are generally rated for up to 25 mating cycles, making this socket appropriate for prototyping, field-replaceable modules, and consumer-grade 2.54 mm pitch interconnects.

How does the horizontal SMT body depth of SMH-108-02-F-S affect PCB layout for low-profile enclosures?

With a body depth of 0.47 inch and a horizontal SMT mounting style, SMH-108-02-F-S extends 0.47 inch from the PCB edge, requiring clearance in the board-to-board stack. Designers targeting enclosures under 15 mm total height should account for this depth when planning the mating header standoff. The 0.82 inch body length accommodates 16 positions at 2.54 mm pitch in a single row.

In what scenarios does SMH-108-02-F-S provide a lower-cost alternative to gold-plated socket strips at the same pitch?

SMH-108-02-F-S uses gold flash (thin gold) rather than thick gold (30+ µin), reducing plating cost while still meeting contact reliability needs for commercial embedded boards and prototype rigs with fewer than 25 insertions. At .100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 16 positions, it suits designs where cost per-pin matters more than extended mating cycle life required in industrial or mil-spec applications.
