What are the key features of SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR?
- 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row socket strip provides industry-standard footprint compatibility with a wide range of mating headers
- Horizontal surface-mount termination keeps the mated connector assembly low-profile for space-constrained enclosures
- Gold-plated contacts deliver low contact resistance and extended mating-cycle reliability for production and field-service applications
- Tape-and-reel packaging supports high-volume automated pick-and-place SMT assembly without manual loading
What is SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR used for?
The SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR is used in backplane and daughtercard interconnect systems, prototype expansion boards, and modular embedded computing platforms where a horizontal 0.100-inch pitch socket is needed. Its surface-mount design and single-row 29-position layout suit industrial control modules, communication boards, and test fixture interfaces that require low-profile connector assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR provide and what mating headers are compatible?
The SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR is a 29-position single-row socket strip at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch, compatible with SAMTEC TSW and similar 0.100-inch male headers. This standard pitch ensures interoperability with a broad range of male pin headers from multiple manufacturers, simplifying connector sourcing during prototyping and production.
Why is horizontal surface-mount termination preferable in low-profile PCB assemblies using the SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR?
Horizontal orientation positions the mating axis parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the total assembly height by the connector body thickness compared to vertical through-hole sockets. For enclosures with a clearance of less than 8 mm above the PCB, horizontal SMT sockets like the SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR enable card interconnection without the assembly exceeding height constraints.
Is the SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR suitable for applications requiring frequent connector unmating, such as field-replaceable modules?
SAMTEC SMH series sockets are rated for at least 30 mating cycles with gold-plated contacts maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ. For field-replaceable modules that are swapped fewer than 30 times during the product lifecycle, the SMH-129-02-FM-S-TR provides adequate durability, particularly in industrial and test equipment where serviceability is needed across years of operation.
