What are the key features of SMH-135-02-H-S-TR?

  • 35 single-row female socket positions at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch in a horizontal right-angle SMT orientation for broad compatibility with standard headers
  • Surface-mount right-angle termination eliminating through-hole drilling while maintaining a low board-height profile suitable for slim enclosure designs
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for efficient high-volume production of embedded and IoT boards

What is SMH-135-02-H-S-TR used for?

The SMH-135-02-H-S-TR is engineered for board-edge expansion and peripheral connection interfaces in embedded computing, single-board computers, and industrial control panels where 35 signal lines must exit the PCB horizontally without consuming vertical board height. The right-angle horizontal socket mates with vertical 0.100" (2.54 mm) male headers on expansion modules, enabling a modular side-access interface for GPIO breakout, sensor arrays, and communication bus routing. Its SMT construction supports reflow soldering integration into modern automated assembly lines, reducing per-unit cost compared to hand-soldered through-hole equivalents on high-volume IoT and edge computing hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and at what pitch does SMH-135-02-H-S-TR accept signals for board-edge expansion?

The SMH-135-02-H-S-TR provides 35 positions in a single row at 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch, arranged in a horizontal right-angle SMT socket configuration. This allows 35 independent signal lines to exit the PCB from the board edge, connecting to standard 2.54 mm pitch vertical header pins on expansion modules, sensor boards, or ribbon cable assemblies rated for signals up to several hundred MHz.

How does the horizontal SMT configuration of SMH-135-02-H-S-TR benefit embedded designs with strict height constraints?

The horizontal right-angle orientation positions the mating receptacle parallel to the PCB plane, limiting the connector's contribution to board height to approximately 5 to 6 mm above the PCB surface versus 8 to 12 mm for a vertical through-hole socket strip with the same 35-position, 2.54 mm pitch layout. Combined with SMT termination that removes the need for 35 drilled holes, this makes SMH-135-02-H-S-TR ideal for thin industrial HMI panels and compact IoT gateway housings with internal clearance under 10 mm.

When is SMH-135-02-H-S-TR a better choice than a 35-position vertical SMT socket for a GPIO breakout application?

A horizontal right-angle SMH-135-02-H-S-TR is preferable when the mating header or ribbon cable enters the PCB from the side rather than from above, reducing mechanical stress on solder joints during cable plug-in and pull-out cycles. For GPIO breakout panels where users frequently attach and detach 2.54 mm ribbon cables, the side-entry horizontal socket distributes mating forces laterally rather than pulling directly on SMT pads, extending solder joint life over hundreds of connection cycles in the -40°C to +85°C operating range.
