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

  • 70-position dual-row configuration at 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch for standard 2×35 header compatibility across embedded platforms
  • Horizontal surface-mount orientation provides low-profile side-entry mating, minimizing board-to-board stack height in enclosed systems
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly for efficient, high-throughput SMT production

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

The SMH-135-02-S-S-TR is used in board-to-board and daughter-card interconnect assemblies requiring a standard 0.100-inch pitch dual-row socket in a horizontal surface-mount configuration. It connects processor modules, expansion cards, and peripheral boards in industrial computers, single-board computers, and test equipment platforms. The 70-contact layout efficiently routes digital I/O, power, and ground signals across modular PCB interfaces in both prototype and high-volume production designs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many contact positions does the SMH-135-02-S-S-TR provide and which header formats does it mate with?

The SMH-135-02-S-S-TR provides 70 pins in a dual-row, 35-positions-per-row layout at the standard 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This format directly mates with 2×35 male headers used on Arduino shields, Raspberry Pi expansion boards, and industrial SBC form factors, offering a compatible socket for both prototype development and production PCB interconnects.

What height benefit does the horizontal orientation of the SMH-135-02-S-S-TR provide in stacked PCB assemblies?

The side-entry horizontal mounting allows the mating header to engage parallel to the main PCB surface, keeping the total board-to-board stack height significantly lower than vertical socket alternatives. For 70-pin interfaces in enclosed panels or rack systems where vertical clearance above the PCB is limited, this configuration enables efficient use of available space without sacrificing connector density or contact reliability.

How does the tape-and-reel packaging of the SMH-135-02-S-S-TR improve manufacturing efficiency?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging feeds the SMH-135-02-S-S-TR directly into automated SMT pick-and-place machines, eliminating manual loading and reducing per-placement cycle time. For a 70-pin surface-mount connector this ensures consistent orientation and polarity alignment at placement speeds of thousands of boards per shift, lowering labor costs and reducing placement errors in high-volume electronics manufacturing.
