What are the key features of SMH-123-02-H-S-TR?
- 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch horizontal surface mount design enables right-angle PCB edge connections without requiring through-hole drilling
- 23-position single-row socket strip provides reliable signal interface with gold-plated contacts rated for hundreds of mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging ensures compatibility with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment for consistent high-volume PCB assembly
What is SMH-123-02-H-S-TR used for?
The SMH-123-02-H-S-TR is used for horizontal board edge signal connections in embedded computing systems, industrial I/O modules, and consumer electronics requiring right-angle SMT socket interfaces at standard 0.100-inch pitch. Its surface mount footprint eliminates through-hole drilling, reducing PCB manufacturing cost for 23-position single-row signal bus applications. Tape-and-reel delivery enables efficient automated placement in high-throughput production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and orientation does the SMH-123-02-H-S-TR provide for surface mount board connections?
The SMH-123-02-H-S-TR features a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch horizontal orientation, meaning contacts exit the connector at 90 degrees relative to the PCB surface. This right-angle configuration supports 23 single-row positions for board edge signal routing without requiring vertical connector height above the PCB plane.
Which PCB designs benefit from using a horizontal SMT socket strip instead of a vertical through-hole header?
Horizontal SMT socket strips are preferred in designs with height constraints above the PCB, such as slim-profile panels or stacked board assemblies with less than 10 mm vertical clearance. The SMH-123-02-H-S-TR eliminates 0.100-inch through-hole drilling, reducing PCB layer stack-up complexity and allowing connections at the board edge for 23 signal channels.
How does the single-row 23-position SMH-123 compare to dual-row alternatives for connector footprint size?
A single-row 23-position connector like the SMH-123-02-H-S-TR occupies a linear footprint of approximately 55.9 mm (23 positions at 2.54 mm pitch), while a dual-row alternative of similar pin count uses half the length but doubles the width. Single-row suits narrow PCB edges or ribbon cable interfaces where board-edge length is available but width is restricted.
