What are the key features of SMH-117-02-F-S-TR?
- 17-position single-row layout at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch provides a wide female socket interface for standard header pin arrays used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and custom embedded system expansion connectors
- Horizontal surface-mount orientation keeps mating height low, enabling board-edge access to header pins within enclosures with limited vertical clearance
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with female (F) contact termination supports automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for repeatable high-volume PCB production
What is SMH-117-02-F-S-TR used for?
The SMH-117-02-F-S-TR is designed for horizontal board-edge socket connections with 17-pin 0.100 inch pitch header arrays in embedded computing modules, single-board computers, and industrial I/O expansion cards. Its female contact and surface-mount format allow it to receive a mating vertical or right-angle male header from a daughtercard or cable assembly, supporting GPIO, SPI, UART, and analog signal interfaces across multiple channels in one connector footprint. The tape-and-reel format simplifies integration into automated SMT assembly lines for volume production of IoT gateways, development boards, and custom control modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does SMH-117-02-F-S-TR provide, and what interface types can it support at 0.100 inch pitch?
The SMH-117-02-F-S-TR provides 17 positions in a single row at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, accommodating up to 17 individual signal, power, or ground connections. This count supports mixed-use interface headers combining UART TX/RX, SPI MOSI/MISO/SCK/CS, I2C SDA/SCL, multiple GPIO lines, and power supply pins in a single 17-pin connector common on embedded development boards and single-board computers.
What mating advantages does the horizontal SMT orientation of SMH-117-02-F-S-TR offer for panel-mount or enclosed PCB designs?
The horizontal surface-mount orientation places the socket opening at the PCB edge rather than pointing vertically upward, allowing a mating header or cable assembly to plug in parallel to the board surface. This reduces the total connector height above the PCB to the component body thickness of a few millimeters, which is essential in enclosed devices where lid-to-board clearance is limited to 10 mm or less and vertical upward-facing connectors would not fit.
When would a designer select SMH-117-02-F-S-TR over a through-hole 17-pin socket strip for an embedded module application?
The surface-mount SMH-117-02-F-S-TR is preferred over through-hole socket strips when the PCB does not have plated through-holes in the connector area, when double-sided component placement requires all connectors on the same SMT assembly pass, or when automated SMT assembly must eliminate the manual through-hole insertion step. The SMT format also allows tighter mechanical tolerances in placement at ±0.1 mm compared to manually inserted through-hole sockets, improving alignment with mating headers in high-volume production.
Is SMH-117-02-F-S-TR compatible with standard 0.100 inch pitch male headers used on Arduino Uno and Raspberry Pi expansion connectors?
Yes, the SMH-117-02-F-S-TR female socket is designed for 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch and accepts standard square-post or round-pin male headers of the same pitch used on Arduino Uno shields, Raspberry Pi GPIO headers, and similar embedded boards. The 17-position count spans 1.6 inches of header length, covering partial segments of 20-pin or 40-pin GPIO headers when a reduced-width mating interface is needed in a custom board design.
