What are the key features of SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR?
- 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row horizontal socket strip with 20 positions for standard header mating
- Top-mount (TM) termination orientation enabling side-entry mating with cable or daughter-card headers in horizontal layouts
- Surface-mount construction with tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly
- Gold-plated contacts ensuring reliable low-resistance connections across multiple mating cycles in industrial and consumer applications
What is SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR used for?
The SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR is designed for horizontal board-to-cable and board-to-board interconnects on PCBs in industrial control panels, consumer electronics, and embedded computing modules where connectors must lie flat against the board surface. Its 0.100 inch pitch and 20-position single-row layout is fully compatible with standard 2.54 mm pitch pin headers, enabling flexible system configuration and field-serviceable wiring connections. Tape-and-reel delivery supports cost-efficient automated SMT assembly integration in high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR offer and which headers does it mate with?
The SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR is a 20-position single-row socket strip at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, compatible with standard 2.54 mm pitch pin headers widely used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and industrial embedded computing modules. The horizontal top-mount orientation allows the mated header to enter from the side, keeping the assembly profile low on the PCB surface.
How does the horizontal top-mount termination of SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR benefit space-constrained PCB designs?
The top-mount horizontal orientation routes the mating header connection parallel to the PCB plane rather than perpendicular, reducing the total height of the mated assembly by several millimeters compared to vertical right-angle connectors. In compact enclosures with less than 15 mm clearance above the PCB, this allows engineers to maintain full 20-position signal connectivity without requiring additional board-to-board clearance or custom low-profile solutions.
Does the SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR support automated PCB assembly and what packaging format is available?
Yes, the -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, making the SMH-120-02-TM-S-TR fully compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines at standard reel sizes. The surface-mount footprint supports reflow soldering at up to 260°C per IPC J-STD-020, enabling integration into standard lead-free production lines processing thousands of boards per day in consumer electronics and industrial manufacturing facilities.
