What are the key features of SMH-116-02-FM-S?
- 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch single-row surface-mount design provides a standard footprint compatible with a wide range of mating pin headers
- Horizontal (FM) orientation allows mating direction to run parallel to the PCB surface, enabling low-profile stacking or edge-connection applications
- Gold-plated contact finish ensures low contact resistance and reliable connectivity through multiple insertion and withdrawal cycles
What is SMH-116-02-FM-S used for?
The SMH-116-02-FM-S is used in industrial control panels, embedded computing modules, and test fixture boards where a horizontal surface-mount socket at 0.100" pitch simplifies board-to-board or wire-to-board connections. Its low-profile SMT body reduces overall assembly height in space-constrained enclosures. The connector also suits prototyping and development platforms requiring standard 2.54mm pitch headers for modular expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SMH-116-02-FM-S provide and at what contact pitch?
The SMH-116-02-FM-S offers 32 positions in a single-row configuration at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which is one of the most widely adopted connector pitches in embedded and industrial PCB designs.
What mounting orientation does the FM designation indicate for this socket strip?
The FM designation denotes a horizontal (flat-mount) surface-mount orientation, meaning the mating direction runs parallel to the PCB surface, reducing stack height and allowing headers from an adjacent board to engage along the board edge.
What current rating per contact is typical for the SMH series at 0.100" pitch?
SMH series contacts at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch are typically rated for up to 3A per pin, enabling the 32-position SMH-116-02-FM-S to distribute both logic signals and moderate power loads across a single connector.
Can the SMH-116-02-FM-S be used in high-cycle test fixture applications?
Yes, SAMTEC SMH series socket strips are designed for hundreds of mating cycles, with gold-plated contacts maintaining contact resistance below 20 milliohms, making them well-suited for automated test equipment and burn-in fixture boards.
