Key Features
- 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row SMD socket strip with 15 positions per row for versatile board-level interconnect
- Horizontal surface-mount orientation enables low-profile board-edge mating, reducing connector height above the PCB
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging ensures compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment for high-volume assembly
Applications
The SMH-115-02-S-S-TR is designed for horizontal board-to-board and wire-to-board connections in consumer electronics, industrial control panels, and embedded computing systems where connector height must be minimized. Its 0.100 inch pitch and surface-mount footprint allow it to be soldered directly alongside other SMD components without additional through-hole drilling. The part is also well-suited for prototyping platforms, daughtercard interfaces, and modular expansion connectors in rack-mounted or panel-enclosed equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SMH-115-02-S-S-TR have and what pitch spacing does it use?
The SMH-115-02-S-S-TR has 15 positions per row on a standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This widely adopted pitch ensures broad compatibility with mating headers and pin strips commonly used in embedded systems, development boards, and modular interconnect designs.
What advantages does the horizontal surface-mount orientation provide for PCB height-sensitive designs?
The horizontal (side-entry) orientation keeps the mating plug parallel to the PCB plane, significantly reducing the overall height above the board compared to vertical SMD connectors. This is valuable in slim enclosures or stacked board assemblies where the clearance between PCB layers is under 10 mm, allowing reliable signal routing without protruding connector bodies.
Is the SMH-115-02-S-S-TR suitable for automated SMT assembly and what packaging does it come in?
Yes, the -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, making the SMH-115-02-S-S-TR fully compatible with automated pick-and-place machines. The surface-mount termination supports standard lead-free reflow soldering up to 260°C peak temperature, enabling high-volume production without manual insertion steps.
How does the SMH-115-02-S-S-TR compare to a through-hole socket strip of the same pitch for prototyping use?
While a through-hole version requires 0.8 mm to 1.0 mm drilled holes and occupies routing layers below the PCB, the SMH surface-mount variant sits on the top layer only, preserving all inner routing layers on multilayer PCBs. For a 4-layer PCB at 1.6 mm thickness, this frees up to 2 additional signal layers under the connector footprint, which is valuable in dense signal routing applications with 15 or more connections.
