What are the key features of SMH-136-02-S-S-TR?
- 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch dual-row horizontal SMT socket strip with 72 total contacts for high-density board interconnects
- Horizontal surface-mount orientation minimizes connector height above PCB, ideal for low-profile and stacked-board assemblies
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated high-volume pick-and-place assembly with consistent placement accuracy
- Standard 0.100 inch grid compatible with a wide range of mating pin headers and development board accessories
What is SMH-136-02-S-S-TR used for?
The SMH-136-02-S-S-TR is designed for board-to-board and module-to-baseboard connections where a low-profile horizontal socket is required on a 0.100 inch grid. Its 72-contact dual-row layout suits applications such as embedded computing expansion connectors, industrial control backplanes, and prototype development platforms where many signals must cross between boards in a compact footprint. Tape-and-reel packaging makes it cost-effective for automated assembly in medium- to high-volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many total contacts does SMH-136-02-S-S-TR provide, and on what pitch?
The SMH-136-02-S-S-TR is a 36-position, 2-row socket strip giving 72 total contacts on a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. This standard grid spacing ensures broad compatibility with off-the-shelf 0.100 inch pin headers and development board accessories used across prototyping and production environments.
Why choose a horizontal surface-mount socket like SMH-136-02-S-S-TR over a vertical through-hole alternative?
A horizontal SMT orientation keeps the mating connector parallel to the PCB surface, reducing the overall stack height by eliminating the vertical pin-header protrusion above the board. This benefits slim enclosures where the clearance above the PCB is less than 10 mm, while the SMT termination eliminates the need for drilling 72 through-holes, lowering PCB fabrication cost.
What does the TR suffix mean for SMH-136-02-S-S-TR, and how does it affect procurement and assembly?
The TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging, with parts supplied on a continuous reel for automated pick-and-place insertion. This format is required by most high-volume SMT assembly lines and reduces per-unit handling time. Reels typically contain hundreds of connectors, so TR packaging lowers kitting overhead and is usually more cost-effective than cut-tape for production quantities above 500 pieces.
Which mating connectors are compatible with SMH-136-02-S-S-TR for a 72-pin board-to-board interface?
The SMH-136-02-S-S-TR mates with Samtec TSW, MW, and compatible 0.100 inch dual-row pin headers offering 36 positions per row. The 2.54 mm pitch is also compatible with standard IDC ribbon-cable connectors and many development-board GPIO headers, providing broad sourcing flexibility across 2-row, 72-pin configurations from multiple suppliers.
