What are the key features of SMH-116-02-L-S?

  • 32-position single-row horizontal SMT socket strip on 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch
  • Tin-over-nickel contact finish provides reliable solderability and corrosion resistance
  • Compact 41.1 mm body length enables right-angle mating for space-constrained PCB assemblies

What is SMH-116-02-L-S used for?

The SMH-116-02-L-S is designed for horizontal mating applications in embedded computing, industrial control, and consumer electronics where a low-profile right-angle socket connection is needed. Its 2.54 mm pitch socket accepts standard 0.100 inch male headers, making it compatible with a wide range of mating pins across development boards and production hardware. The tin-plated contacts support wave soldering and reflow processes in automated PCB assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and position count does the SMH-116-02-L-S provide for development board prototyping?

The SMH-116-02-L-S features 32 positions in a single row on a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, the most common standard for development board headers, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and most microcontroller breakout boards.

How does the horizontal (L) orientation of the SMH-116-02-L-S help when routing connectors at PCB edges?

The horizontal (L) orientation places the mating socket parallel to the PCB surface, directing the mating interface toward the board edge and reducing the connector height above the board to under 5 mm, ideal for slim-profile enclosures and card-edge access panels.

What current per contact can the SMH-116-02-L-S carry for mixed power-and-signal connector applications?

Each contact in the SMH-116-02-L-S is rated at 3 A continuous current, so designers can assign 4 to 8 pins for a 5 V power rail at 12 A to 24 A total, while the remaining 24+ pins handle SPI, UART, GPIO, and other low-current signal lines.

Does the tin-over-nickel finish on SMH-116-02-L-S support wave solder and reflow assembly processes?

Yes, the tin-over-nickel contact finish is compatible with both wave solder at 260 °C peak and reflow solder profiles up to 260 °C, meeting J-STD-020 MSL requirements and supporting full automated SMT and through-hole mixed assembly processes.
