What are the key features of SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR?

  • 0.100" (2.54 mm) standard pitch horizontal SMT socket accepts standard pin headers for versatile interconnect
  • 128 single-row positions support a wide range of signal and power connections in one compact strip
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging ensures consistent automated placement and high-volume production efficiency

What is SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR used for?

The SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR is suited for applications requiring a large number of low-profile horizontal socket connections in a compact SMT footprint, such as backplane systems, industrial controllers, and embedded computing modules. Its 0.100" pitch makes it compatible with standard DIP and pin-header mating connectors, simplifying integration. The tape-and-reel format supports seamless high-volume assembly-line production.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR's horizontal orientation affect PCB stack height in a system design?

The horizontal surface-mount orientation of the SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR allows mating pins to enter from the side rather than perpendicular, reducing the overall board stack height to approximately 4 mm or less. This is valuable in chassis designs with tight vertical clearances, such as 1U server blades or slim embedded panels.

What mating connector is compatible with the 0.100" pitch SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR socket strip?

The SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch accepts standard single-row pin headers such as SAMTEC's TSW or TW series and compatible third-party 2.54 mm pin strips. This broad compatibility simplifies design reuse and sourcing across 128 positions in a single strip.

In which industrial or computing scenarios does the 128-position SMH-128-02-TM-S-TR provide a meaningful advantage?

With 128 positions in a single-row SMT strip at 0.100" pitch, this connector is advantageous in backplane routing, industrial I/O expansion boards, and FPGA carrier cards where many parallel bus signals must be distributed without multiple smaller connectors. Surface-mount attachment also eliminates through-hole drilling, reducing PCB fabrication cost.
