What are the key features of SMS-104-01-G-D?

  • 8 positions on a 0.050" x 0.100" dual-pitch grid for ultra-high-density through-hole socket interconnects
  • Gold (10 µin) over Nickel (50 µin) mating contact finish for low-contact-resistance and long mating life
  • Gold (Au) over Nickel (Ni) termination finish ensures reliable solderability in both tin-lead and lead-free processes
  • Tiger Buy designation indicates stocking priority at SAMTEC for fast delivery and high availability
  • Through-hole body/shell style provides superior mechanical retention compared to SMT-only socket designs
  • RoHS compliant (Pb-free) construction for environmental compliance across global markets

What is SMS-104-01-G-D used for?

The SMS-104-01-G-D is used in high-density mezzanine and piggyback socket applications where a compact 0.050" x 0.100" pitch must accommodate 8 signals in minimal PCB area, such as chip test sockets, FPGA expansion headers, and small module connectors in instrumentation and embedded computing. Its gold contact finish and through-hole mounting make it a long-life solution for applications requiring frequent mating and unmating, including lab equipment and field-replaceable module sockets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and position count does the SMS-104-01-G-D provide, and how does the dual-pitch grid affect PCB layout?

The SMS-104-01-G-D provides 8 positions on a 0.050" x 0.100" dual-pitch grid, meaning contacts are spaced 0.050" in one axis and 0.100" in the other. This asymmetric grid allows a compact 0.2 inch by 0.335 inch body footprint while routing 8 signals through-hole, reducing occupied PCB area compared to standard 0.100" x 0.100" single-pitch alternatives.

How does the 10 µin gold mating contact finish affect connector reliability in repeated mating cycles?

The 10 µin gold (Au) over 50 µin nickel (Ni) mating finish on the SMS-104-01-G-D provides low and stable contact resistance across hundreds to thousands of insertion cycles. Gold finishes at this thickness are rated for mating lives exceeding 500 cycles in standard test conditions, making the connector well suited for socketed modules and lab equipment that require repeated connector engagement without contact oxidation or wear.

What is the significance of the Tiger Buy designation for procurement teams sourcing the SMS-104-01-G-D?

SAMTEC Tiger Buy items such as the SMS-104-01-G-D are stocked at prioritized inventory levels, which typically means shorter lead times of 1 to 5 business days versus standard 3-week factory lead times for non-stocked connectors. For procurement teams managing just-in-time production or prototype builds requiring fewer than 500 pieces, Tiger Buy status reduces schedule risk significantly without committing to large minimum order quantities.

Is the SMS-104-01-G-D RoHS compliant, and how does its lead-free status affect solder process compatibility?

Yes, the SMS-104-01-G-D is designated Pb-free (RoHS compliant) by SAMTEC. The gold termination finish on the through-hole tails is compatible with both standard Sn63Pb37 wave solder and SAC305 lead-free wave solder processes, allowing use in mixed-technology assemblies with peak solder temperatures up to 260°C without compromising the nickel barrier or gold finish integrity.
