Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Tiger Buy contact feature provide on the SMH-108-02-T-S socket strip?
The Tiger Buy contact is a SAMTEC proprietary single-beam contact design that provides enhanced normal force against the mating pin, improving mechanical retention and reducing contact resistance variation. For an 8-position socket at 2.54 mm (0.100") pitch, this translates to more consistent electrical performance across temperature cycles and repeated mating operations compared to standard single-beam designs.
How does the horizontal SMT orientation of SMH-108-02-T-S benefit low-profile PCB assembly designs?
The horizontal surface mount orientation aligns the mating direction parallel to the PCB surface, allowing daughter boards or wire harnesses to connect from the side rather than from above. This reduces the total height above the PCB compared to vertical socket strips, enabling slimmer enclosure designs with overall board stack heights of a few millimeters less than equivalent vertical-mount alternatives.
What is the factory lead time for SMH-108-02-T-S, and how should buyers plan inventory for this component?
SAMTEC lists a factory lead time of approximately 2 weeks and 6 days for SMH-108-02-T-S. For production planning, buyers should maintain buffer stock of at least 3 to 4 weeks to cover this lead time plus shipping. The 8-position horizontal 0.100" SMT socket is a standard catalog item, so it is typically available from authorized SAMTEC distributors for lower-volume procurement without full factory lead time.
