Key Features
- Horizontal surface mount orientation at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch enables low-profile mating parallel to the PCB for height-restricted designs
- 68-position single-row layout provides straightforward signal routing with broad mating header compatibility
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place SMT assembly for efficient high-volume production
Applications
The SMH-134-02-S-S-TR is designed for horizontal board-to-wire and board-to-board interconnect applications where connector height above the PCB must be minimized. Its 0.100" pitch single-row configuration is compatible with standard pin headers and is widely used in embedded control systems, industrial automation, and consumer electronics requiring reliable low-profile SMT socket connections. The tape-and-reel packaging makes it well-suited for automated assembly lines in medium to high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal connections does the SMH-134-02-S-S-TR support, and what is its contact pitch?
The SMH-134-02-S-S-TR supports 68 positions in a single-row configuration with a standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch. This widely adopted pitch ensures compatibility with a broad range of standard pin headers and mating connectors, making it easy to integrate into existing PCB designs for embedded control, industrial, and consumer electronics applications.
What mounting orientation does the SMH-134-02-S-S-TR use, and what PCB height advantage does this provide?
The SMH-134-02-S-S-TR uses a horizontal surface mount orientation, positioning the mating socket parallel to the PCB plane. This reduces the profile height above the PCB compared to vertical socket strips, enabling use in enclosures with less than 10 mm of clearance above the board. The SMT footprint also removes the need for through-hole drilling, simplifying PCB manufacturing.
Is the SMH-134-02-S-S-TR a drop-in alternative to through-hole socket strips of the same pitch, and are there any design trade-offs?
The SMH-134-02-S-S-TR is not a direct pin-for-pin drop-in for through-hole socket strips since it uses an SMT footprint requiring surface pads rather than drilled holes. However, it offers equivalent electrical function at 0.100" pitch with 68 positions while reducing PCB layer routing complexity. SMT mounting does trade mechanical pull strength for a lower profile, so it is best suited for applications where lateral mating forces remain below approximately 20 N.
