What are the key features of SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR?
- 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row horizontal SMT socket strip compatible with standard 2.54 mm pin headers
- Metal locking tabs (TM suffix) provide additional mechanical retention, preventing connector lift-off during reflow soldering
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for cost-effective high-volume production runs
What is SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR used for?
The SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR is designed for horizontal surface-mount socket connections in industrial automation controllers, consumer electronics motherboards, and embedded system expansion interfaces where a standard 0.100-inch pitch socket is needed. The metal locking tabs ensure stable board attachment through reflow and wave solder processes, reducing connector lift risk in high-throughput manufacturing. Tape-and-reel delivery supports fully automated SMT lines in applications demanding consistent placement accuracy across large production volumes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What role do the metal locking tabs on the SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR play during PCB assembly?
The metal locking tabs (indicated by the TM suffix) on the SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR mechanically anchor the connector body to the PCB surface prior to and during reflow soldering. This prevents the connector from lifting or shifting when exposed to reflow temperatures that can exceed 260°C, ensuring consistent solder joint quality in automated SMT assembly.
How many positions does the SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR accommodate and what is its contact pitch?
The SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR provides 68 positions in a single-row layout with a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard pitch ensures broad compatibility with 2.54 mm pin headers found in prototyping boards, industrial controllers, and embedded system expansion modules.
When should an engineer choose the SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR over a through-hole socket strip for a new PCB design?
The SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR's horizontal SMT footprint is preferable when board-to-board height must remain under approximately 5 mm and when the assembly process is fully automated with pick-and-place equipment. Through-hole alternatives offer higher pull-out force, but the SMH-134-02-TM-S-TR's metal locking tabs provide adequate retention for most applications while enabling single-side reflow without secondary soldering operations.
