What are the key features of SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR?

  • 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row horizontal SMT socket strip for standard through-hole footprint compatibility
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables automated high-volume pick-and-place SMT assembly
  • 32-position configuration provides flexible I/O density for expansion connectors and module interfaces
  • Surface-mount horizontal orientation minimizes vertical clearance requirements on space-constrained PCBs

What is SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR used for?

The SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR is commonly used in prototyping boards, daughter cards, and backplane interconnect systems where a 0.100-inch pitch standard is required for compatibility with legacy or off-the-shelf modules. It suits industrial control panels and test-and-measurement equipment that need reliable 32-position expansion headers in a horizontal SMT profile. The tape-and-reel format makes it ideal for contract-manufactured consumer electronics and embedded computing platforms at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the contact pitch and position count of the SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR?

The SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR uses a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch and has 32 positions in a single-row configuration. This standard pitch ensures backward compatibility with a wide range of headers and modules designed to the ubiquitous 2.54 mm grid. The 32-position count provides 32 individual signal or power contacts per connector.

How does the horizontal SMT orientation of SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR benefit compact PCB designs?

The horizontal surface-mount orientation keeps the mating connector parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the vertical stack height above the board to approximately 2 mm. This is critical in slim enclosures or stacked board assemblies where vertical clearance is limited to less than 10 mm. It also enables side-edge mating for panel-mounted or drawer-style module systems.

Which SAMTEC header series is the SMH-132-02-FM-S-TR designed to mate with?

The SMH series SMT socket strips are designed to mate with SAMTEC TSW, TLW, and compatible 0.100-inch pitch (2.54 mm) pin header families. The -FM suffix indicates a full metal contact finish, ensuring low-resistance mating with gold or tin-plated header pins rated for at least 1 A per contact in standard signal applications.

Does the -TR suffix confirm tape-and-reel delivery, and what reel quantities are typical?

Yes, the -TR suffix designates tape-and-reel packaging for SMT automated assembly. SAMTEC typically supplies SMH-TR variants on reels of 500 to 1,000 units depending on the connector size, with standard EIA-481 tape dimensions of 8 mm or 12 mm width. This format eliminates manual tube-loading and reduces feeder changeover time in high-throughput SMT lines.
