Applications
The SMS-118-01-G-D is designed for high-reliability through-hole board-to-board and board-to-module socket applications requiring 36 pins at the mixed 0.050" x 0.100" pitch used in dense SAMTEC micro-strip ecosystems. It is well-suited for test and measurement equipment, signal routing boards, and embedded module carriers where gold-plated contacts ensure repeatable low-resistance mating across hundreds of connection cycles. The through-hole termination provides robust mechanical anchoring on boards subject to vibration or repeated mating stress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What mating contact finish does the SMS-118-01-G-D use, and how many positions does it provide?
The SMS-118-01-G-D has 36 positions with mating contacts plated in 20 µin gold over 50 µin nickel. This contact finish ensures low and stable contact resistance across repeated mating cycles, making the connector suitable for high-reliability test fixtures and production socket applications.
What is the pitch configuration of the SMS-118-01-G-D, and how does the mixed 0.050" x 0.100" pitch affect mating header selection?
The SMS-118-01-G-D uses a staggered dual-row pitch of 0.050" (1.27 mm) between rows and 0.100" (2.54 mm) within each row. This mixed pitch requires mating headers specifically designed for the SAMTEC micro-strip series, as standard single-pitch 2.54 mm or 1.27 mm headers are not directly interchangeable with this staggered-row configuration.
For which PCB applications is the SMS-118-01-G-D micro socket a better choice than a standard through-hole dual-row socket at uniform 2.54 mm pitch?
The SMS-118-01-G-D is a better choice than a uniform 2.54 mm pitch socket when board space is limited and a higher pin density is needed across a 0.9" body length. Its 0.050" x 0.100" staggered pitch achieves 36 contacts in a shorter row span, making it ideal for compact module carrier boards in test equipment, signal conditioning circuits, and embedded compute modules where a uniform 2.54 mm pitch socket would require significantly more PCB area for the same contact count.
