Key Features
- 16-position micro socket in a compact 0.4" x 0.22" body supports high-density board-to-board interconnects
- 0.050" x 0.100" dual-row pitch provides 2x the contact density of standard 0.100" pitch sockets
- Gold (20 µin) over Nickel (50 µin) contact finish ensures low contact resistance and long mating cycle life
- Through-hole mounting with dual in-line rows offers robust mechanical retention on the PCB
- RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) construction meets green manufacturing requirements for global distribution
Applications
The SMS-108-01-G-D is commonly used in test and measurement equipment, prototyping rigs, and small module interconnect systems where a reliable, removable socket is needed for a dual-row 16-pin header. Its 0.050" x 0.100" pitch accommodates compact PCB layouts in data acquisition boards, embedded development boards, and JTAG/debug interface adapters. The gold contact finish ensures consistent performance even after many insertion cycles, making it suitable for production test fixtures and field-replaceable module sockets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch of the SMS-108-01-G-D and how does it affect PCB layout density?
The SMS-108-01-G-D uses a 0.050" x 0.100" dual-row pitch, placing 16 contacts into a body measuring only 0.4" x 0.22". This finer pitch compared to standard 0.100" single-row sockets allows nearly twice the contact density per unit length, which is critical for compact PCBs in data acquisition modules, embedded debug connectors, and small SOM (System-on-Module) carrier boards.
What contact plating does the SMS-108-01-G-D use, and how many mating cycles does it typically support?
The SMS-108-01-G-D uses 20 µin gold over 50 µin nickel on mating contacts, providing excellent corrosion resistance and low contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ. Gold plating at this thickness typically supports 500 or more mating cycles, making this socket appropriate for test fixtures, prototype boards, and field-replaceable modules where repeated insertion and removal is expected.
Which interconnect scenarios make the SMS-108-01-G-D a better choice than a 0.100" standard socket?
The SMS-108-01-G-D's 0.050" x 0.100" pitch reduces board footprint by roughly 50% compared to a standard 0.100" pitch 16-pin socket, making it the preferred choice when PCB real estate is limited — for example, in handheld instruments with boards smaller than 50mm x 50mm, or in stacked module designs with a height budget under 10mm. Its through-hole mounting also provides stronger mechanical retention than SMT alternatives in vibration-prone environments.
How does the Tiger Buy designation affect availability and lead time for the SMS-108-01-G-D?
SAMTEC's Tiger Buy designation indicates the SMS-108-01-G-D is a stocked standard product available for same-day or next-day shipment in quantities typically ranging from 1 piece to several thousand, bypassing the 6–14 week custom lead times common for specialty connectors. This stocking status is especially valuable for engineering samples, low-volume production runs, and supply chain risk mitigation in prototype-to-production transitions.
