What are the key features of SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR?

  • 68-position dual-row socket at 2.00 mm pitch provides high signal density with robust contact retention for mating header pins
  • Kinked (K) contact tails improve pull-out resistance during through-hole soldering, increasing mechanical reliability over straight-tail designs
  • Vertical-solder (VS) and tape-and-reel (TR) configuration enables seamless integration into automated SMT and through-hole assembly workflows

What is SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR used for?

The SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR is designed for mezzanine board stacking, module-on-board applications, and industrial backplane systems where 68 signals must interface at a 2.00 mm pitch through a durable PCB socket. Its rugged construction and kinked contacts make it well-suited for field-replaceable module assemblies in test and measurement equipment, robotics controllers, and communications hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the kinked (K) contact option provide on the SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR?

The kinked (K) contact feature adds a small bend near the base of each of the 68 through-hole contact tails. This kink locks the contact tails into the PCB holes during assembly, preventing the connector from shifting or falling out before soldering. It increases placement stability and reduces the need for fixtures, which is particularly valuable when assembling boards with 68 pins in through-hole via positions.

How does the 2.00 mm pitch of SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR affect mating header selection?

The 2.00 mm center-to-center pitch requires mating headers with the same 2.00 mm pitch, such as Samtec's TSM or STMM series male headers at 2.00 mm pitch. This pitch is more compact than the standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, enabling a 20% reduction in connector footprint width for the same number of positions — a significant space saving on boards with 68 or more signal connections.

For what board-level applications is SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR a better choice than a standard press-fit socket?

Compared to press-fit sockets, the SQW-134-01-F-D-VS-K-TR is preferred when solder-joint reliability is critical and board materials cannot withstand press-fit forces without delamination. The vertical-solder termination forms 68 reliable solder joints during standard wave or selective solder processes, providing higher retention forces over the connector's lifetime — typically rated for hundreds of mating cycles — making it suitable for removable module designs in industrial and instrumentation equipment.
