What are the key features of SMH-117-02-H-S-TR?

  • 34-position single-row layout at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch ensures broad compatibility with standard 2.54mm pitch mating headers in embedded and industrial PCB applications
  • Horizontal (H) surface-mount orientation allows mating perpendicular to the board edge, minimizing vertical footprint in low-profile assemblies
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT reflow assembly, maintaining consistent orientation across high-volume production runs

What is SMH-117-02-H-S-TR used for?

The SMH-117-02-H-S-TR is used in embedded controller boards, industrial I/O modules, and development platforms requiring a 34-position horizontal socket at 0.100" pitch for reliable edge-mount interconnection. Its surface-mount construction eliminates through-hole drilling, simplifying PCB fabrication and reducing assembly cost. The tape-and-reel format supports seamless integration into automated SMT manufacturing lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does the SMH-117-02-H-S-TR offer and what contact pitch is used?

The SMH-117-02-H-S-TR provides 34 positions in a single-row surface-mount configuration at a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, which is one of the most standard connector pitches and ensures compatibility with a wide range of mating pin headers in industrial and embedded designs.

What current rating can each pin of the SMH-117-02-H-S-TR handle?

Each contact in the SMH series at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch is rated for up to 3A, enabling the 34-position SMH-117-02-H-S-TR to carry mixed signal and low-level power distributions across all pins without exceeding thermal limits in typical operating environments.

When is the SMH-117-02-H-S-TR preferred over a through-hole socket strip for PCB design?

Surface-mount connectors like the SMH-117-02-H-S-TR are preferred when the PCB must be single-sided or when through-hole drilling would violate inner-layer routing constraints, since SMT placement on a reflow line is faster and avoids the additional wave-solder or hand-soldering step required for through-hole parts.

Can the SMH-117-02-H-S-TR be used in automated high-volume production, and how does tape-and-reel help?

Yes, the tape-and-reel (-TR) suffix confirms this part is packaged for automated pick-and-place assembly. The carrier tape holds each 34-position socket in a fixed orientation so that SMT machines can place them at rates exceeding 1000 components per hour with consistent positional accuracy across entire production batches.
