What are the key features of SMH-129-02-S-S-TR?

  • 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch horizontal surface mount socket strip for board-edge and right-angle mating applications
  • Single-row 29-position contact layout enabling compact SMT footprint with reliable electrical connections
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging for high-volume automated PCB assembly and pick-and-place compatibility

What is SMH-129-02-S-S-TR used for?

The SMH-129-02-S-S-TR is used for horizontal board-to-board and board-to-cable socket interconnects in consumer electronics, embedded computing, and industrial control systems. Its 29-position single-row layout at 0.100 inch pitch accommodates a wide range of signal and low-power connections in a surface-mount right-angle orientation. This connector is particularly valuable in designs requiring mating access from the side of a PCB, such as panel-mount interfaces and stacked board assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and what pitch does the SMH-129-02-S-S-TR socket strip provide?

The SMH-129-02-S-S-TR provides 29 positions in a single-row layout at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures broad compatibility with mating headers and cable assemblies commonly used in embedded systems, development boards, and industrial control interfaces requiring low-cost, reliable signal interconnects.

In which orientation does the SMH-129-02-S-S-TR mount on a PCB, and why does that matter?

The SMH-129-02-S-S-TR mounts horizontally (right-angle) on the PCB surface using SMT pads, positioning the mating connector interface parallel to the board plane. This orientation reduces overall assembly height and allows connectors to be accessed from the board edge, which is essential in low-profile enclosures and stacked-board architectures where vertical clearance is less than 10 mm.

When is the SMH-129-02-S-S-TR preferable over a through-hole socket strip of the same pitch?

The SMH-129-02-S-S-TR is preferable when PCB thickness constraints or high-volume reflow soldering processes make through-hole assembly impractical. Its SMT pads allow simultaneous reflow with other surface mount components, eliminating a separate wave-solder pass. The horizontal profile also keeps the mated connector height below typical through-hole alternatives, saving several millimeters of vertical space in densely packed 29-signal interface designs.
