What are the key features of SMS-109-01-TM-D?

  • 18-position dual-row layout on a 0.050" x 0.100" pitch grid enables dense through-hole interconnect in a minimal footprint
  • Through-hole mounting provides robust mechanical retention suitable for applications subject to vibration or repeated mating
  • Gold-plated micro socket contacts ensure low contact resistance and high reliability across extended mating cycles

What is SMS-109-01-TM-D used for?

The SMS-109-01-TM-D micro socket is ideal for socketing small dual-row pin arrays on prototype boards, test fixtures, and embedded modules where a 0.050" x 0.100" pitch interface is required. Its through-hole design provides strong mechanical stability, making it suitable for instrumentation and industrial control boards exposed to vibration. The 18-position layout efficiently accommodates multi-signal interfaces such as SPI, I2C, or UART buses alongside power and ground pins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pin arrangement does the SMS-109-01-TM-D use, and which mating headers does it accept?

The SMS-109-01-TM-D is an 18-position dual-row micro socket on a 0.050" x 0.100" pitch grid, accepting 9 pins per row. It mates with compatible SAMTEC TSM or FTS series dual-row headers at the same pitch, enabling reliable socketed connections for modules and sub-assemblies requiring field removal or replacement.

For a test fixture design, how does the through-hole mounting of SMS-109-01-TM-D benefit repeated insertion of DUT modules?

Through-hole mounting anchors the SMS-109-01-TM-D to the PCB through all board layers, giving it far greater pull-out strength than SMT alternatives. This is critical in test fixtures where device-under-test modules may be inserted and removed hundreds of times; the 18 contacts retain their alignment and contact force across extended use without lifting pads.

How does the 0.050" x 0.100" mixed-pitch design of the SMS-109-01-TM-D differ from a standard 0.100" x 0.100" socket?

The 0.050" row spacing combined with 0.100" column spacing results in a rectangular grid that is narrower than a square 0.100" grid, reducing the connector's width by approximately 50% while maintaining standard column spacing. This asymmetric pitch is common in SAMTEC micro-socket families targeting compact dual-row module headers where board width is constrained to under 6 mm.
