What are the key features of SMH-131-02-T-S-TR?

  • 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch single-row 31-position layout provides a standard footprint compatible with the widest range of 0.1" pitch mating pin headers
  • Horizontal (right-angle) surface-mount orientation routes mating connectors parallel to the PCB edge, enabling side-access cable or board connections in low-profile enclosures
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging supports high-volume automated SMT assembly with standard pick-and-place equipment at 2.54 mm pitch

What is SMH-131-02-T-S-TR used for?

The SMH-131-02-T-S-TR is designed for horizontal board-edge interconnections in embedded computing, test and measurement equipment, and industrial control panels where vertical clearance is limited. Its 31-position, 0.100" pitch socket strip accepts standard DIP-pitch pin headers for daughter card attachment, wire-to-board harnesses, or module expansion connectors oriented along the PCB edge. The SMT right-angle footprint simplifies board assembly by eliminating through-hole drilling and enabling reflow soldering in a single-pass process.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and how many positions does the SMH-131-02-T-S-TR provide in its socket strip?

The SMH-131-02-T-S-TR features a 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch with 31 positions in a single-row configuration, making it compatible with standard 0.1" pitch pin headers widely used in embedded systems and development boards. The 31-position count accommodates a broad range of signal interfaces including GPIO bus expansions, sensor modules, and peripheral daughter cards in industrial and consumer electronics.

Why is the horizontal right-angle orientation of SMH-131-02-T-S-TR preferred in low-profile enclosure designs?

The right-angle mounting orients the mating axis parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the connector height above the board to as little as a few millimeters compared to vertical through-board sockets. This is essential in shallow enclosures with less than 20 mm of internal height where a vertical 31-pin socket would protrude beyond the available clearance envelope.

How does the SMH-131-02-T-S-TR compare to through-hole socket strips of the same 0.100" pitch in terms of assembly efficiency?

Unlike through-hole socket strips that require drilling 31 holes per connector and separate wave or hand soldering, the SMH-131-02-T-S-TR uses an SMT footprint that is placed and reflowed in the same pass as other surface-mount components, reducing assembly steps by at least 2 operations. The tape-and-reel packaging ensures consistent pick-and-place accuracy for 31 contacts at 2.54 mm pitch, supporting placement rates of several hundred units per hour on standard SMT lines.
