What are the key features of SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR?
- 52-position single-row horizontal SMT socket strip at 0.100" pitch for compact right-angle board-edge interconnect
- Horizontal (right-angle) orientation routes signals parallel to the PCB surface, ideal for panel connectors and board-edge interface points
- Tape-and-reel packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for consistent placement accuracy and high production throughput
What is SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR used for?
The SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR is used in right-angle board-edge connector applications where a 52-position, 0.100" pitch horizontal socket strip routes signals from a mating header to a PCB lying flat relative to the connection plane. It suits instrument front-panel signal distribution, backplane daughtercard interfaces, and embedded system expansion where horizontal mating reduces the overall connector stack height. The tape-and-reel format makes it efficient for automated SMT production lines processing boards in high volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR horizontal socket strip provide for board-edge interfaces?
The SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR provides 52 contact positions in a single-row layout at 0.100" pitch. This combination is commonly used for board-edge expansion headers and backplane daughter card interfaces where 52 signals need to be routed in a right-angle orientation, keeping the mating connector accessible from the board edge without requiring vertical connector height above the PCB.
Why is the horizontal right-angle orientation of SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR beneficial for panel-mount or low-clearance PCB designs?
The horizontal (right-angle) orientation means the mating connector approaches from the side of the PCB rather than from above, which reduces the total height of the assembled board below any enclosure lid or adjacent PCB. For a 52-position, 0.100" pitch socket like the SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR, this allows the connector to exit through a panel cutout or mate with a cable assembly without adding vertical height above the PCB surface.
What production efficiency advantage does the tape-and-reel packaging of SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR provide over tube packaging?
Tape-and-reel packaging allows the SMH-126-02-SM-S-TR to be loaded directly into SMT pick-and-place feeders, enabling fully automated placement without manual handling of individual connectors. Compared to tube packaging, this reduces placement cycle time per board, lowers the risk of connector misalignment on 0.100" pitch pads, and supports continuous production runs of hundreds of boards without operator intervention.
