What are the key features of SMS-106-01-SM-D?

  • Tiger Eye gold-plated mating contacts provide superior electrical contact and support high mating cycle life
  • Dual-row 12-position through-hole layout on 0.050" x 0.100" pitch maximizes signal density in compact PCB designs
  • Phosphor bronze contacts with tin-nickel barrier termination ensure robust corrosion resistance and reliable soldering

What is SMS-106-01-SM-D used for?

SMS-106-01-SM-D is ideal for through-hole PCB socket applications in test and measurement equipment where reliable, removable board-to-board connections are required at fine 0.050" x 0.100" pitch. Its gold mating contacts and Tiger Eye technology make it well suited for prototype development boards, daughtercard sockets, and instrumentation modules that demand low contact resistance and consistent performance over hundreds of mating cycles. The compact dual-row format also fits embedded control and industrial automation platforms where high pin density is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact pitch and position count does SMS-106-01-SM-D provide, and how does this support high-density through-hole designs?

The SMS-106-01-SM-D is a 12-position dual-row micro socket with a 0.050" x 0.100" (1.27 mm x 2.54 mm) pitch. This fine-pitch through-hole format provides 12 female contacts in a compact footprint, enabling high signal density on PCBs used in instrumentation and embedded control applications where board space is at a premium.

What contact finish does SMS-106-01-SM-D use on mating surfaces, and why does this matter for connector longevity?

The mating contacts of SMS-106-01-SM-D are gold-plated, which delivers low contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ and excellent corrosion resistance over thousands of mating cycles. The termination side uses tin (Sn) over a nickel (Ni) barrier, providing reliable through-hole solder joints at standard PCB reflow or wave-solder temperatures.

For which prototype or daughtercard socket scenarios is SMS-106-01-SM-D a practical alternative to surface-mount connectors?

In prototype and rework-intensive designs, SMS-106-01-SM-D offers a through-hole alternative to SMT sockets by providing a mechanically secure 12-position dual-row connection at 0.100" row spacing. Through-hole mounting withstands up to 100 N of mating insertion force without PCB pad lifting, making it preferable in test jigs and daughtercard sockets that undergo frequent board swaps.

Is the SMS-106-01-SM-D RoHS compliant, and what lead-free termination material does it use?

Yes, SMS-106-01-SM-D carries a Pb-free code of Yes, confirming RoHS compliance. Its termination contacts use tin (Sn) finish over a nickel (Ni) barrier on phosphor bronze contacts, ensuring compatibility with lead-free soldering processes at standard peak reflow temperatures of 260°C used in modern PCB assembly.
