Key Features
- 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch single-row horizontal SMT socket strip with 36 positions for right-angle mating with standard square or round post header pins
- Top-entry (T) contact opening provides secure header pin engagement and reliable retention across repeated mate-unmate cycles in field-serviceable applications
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables seamless integration with automated SMT pick-and-place lines for high-volume PCB production
Applications
SMH-136-02-T-S-TR is suited for board-edge socket applications requiring a 36-position 0.100 inch pitch interface with top-entry pin access, such as modular daughterboard connectors, wide data bus breakout headers, and field-replaceable module sockets in industrial control systems. Its horizontal surface-mount profile maintains a low installed height while providing a robust 36-contact interface for mixed-signal backplane connections. The tape-and-reel format and SMT termination make it efficient for automated assembly in telecommunications, defense, and embedded computing production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the T suffix indicate for SMH-136-02-T-S-TR contact entry direction?
The T suffix specifies top-entry contact opening, meaning header pins insert vertically downward into the socket from the top face. SMH-136-02-T-S-TR provides 36 positions at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch with this top-entry design, making it compatible with vertical-pin headers on daughterboards that plug down into a horizontal base board for modular PCB stack-up configurations.
For a 36-channel data acquisition module, how does SMH-136-02-T-S-TR simplify the interconnect design?
SMH-136-02-T-S-TR consolidates a 36-signal interface into a single 0.100 inch pitch socket strip, replacing multiple smaller connectors and reducing board assembly steps. At 36 positions and 3 A per-contact capacity, it can simultaneously carry 32 data lines plus 4 power or ground contacts, enabling a complete parallel ADC bus interface in one compact 93 mm long component footprint.
How does SMH-136-02-T-S-TR compare to SMH-118-02-L-S-TR when selecting a socket strip for a wider interface?
SMH-136-02-T-S-TR offers 36 positions versus the 18 positions of SMH-118-02-L-S-TR, both at 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch, making the 136 variant appropriate when a wider bus with up to 36 separate signal or power contacts is needed. The T top-entry opening of the 136 variant differs from the L horizontal-entry of the 118 variant, so engineers must match the entry direction to the mating header pin orientation in their PCB stack design.
