Key Features

  • Tiger Buy female socket contacts with 10 µin Gold over 50 µin Nickel mating finish deliver low and consistent contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles
  • 2.00 mm pitch 8-position dual-row compact body (0.327 x 0.157 inch) minimizes PCB real estate while maintaining rugged mechanical retention
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables fully automated SMT pick-and-place assembly for high-volume cost-effective production

Applications

The SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR PCB socket is used in cost-sensitive board-to-board and module-to-board applications such as sensor modules, small display interfaces, and embedded accessory cards requiring a rugged 8-position 2.00 mm pitch female connector. Its compact form factor suits space-constrained PCB layouts in consumer electronics and industrial devices. The gold-plated Tiger Buy contacts ensure reliable low-resistance mating even after repeated insertion cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What mating contact finish does the SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR use and why does it matter?

The mating contacts are plated with 10 µin Gold over 50 µin Nickel, providing stable low contact resistance and corrosion resistance suitable for signal integrity in connectors subjected to repeated mating. The gold finish supports reliable connections across the 8-position dual-row interface over the product's service life.

For which board interconnect designs is the 2.00 mm pitch SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR most appropriate?

This 8-position 2.00 mm pitch dual-row socket fits board-to-board or module-to-board applications where a compact 0.327-inch body length and rugged female socket interface are needed, such as sensor daughter cards, small LCD modules, and embedded accessory boards in industrial or consumer devices.

How does the SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR compare cost-wise to premium connectors with higher gold plating?

As a Tiger Buy series socket, the SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR targets cost-sensitive designs by offering 10 µin gold (versus 15-30 µin on premium lines) while still meeting standard signal connector reliability requirements. This makes it suitable for non-harsh-environment applications where reducing connector BOM cost matters more than extended mating cycle ratings above 30 cycles.

Why is tape-and-reel packaging beneficial for SQW-104-01-L-D-VS-K-TR in SMT production?

The -TR tape-and-reel format allows pick-and-place machines to place the 8-position SQW socket at high throughput, reducing per-board assembly time and manual handling errors. It is particularly valuable in production runs of 500 or more boards where consistent SMT placement accuracy across all 8 contact pads is critical.
