Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tiger Claw contact in the SSM-109-L-DV-K-TR different from standard socket contacts?
SAMTEC's Tiger Claw contact geometry applies higher normal force and a wiping action during mating compared to standard stamped contacts. This results in a more reliable electrical connection across the 18 dual-row positions, with contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ even after repeated insertion cycles — an advantage in test fixtures and removable module sockets subject to frequent mating.
How does the gold plating specification of the SSM-109-L-DV-K-TR affect connector selection for a high-cycle application?
The mating surfaces of the SSM-109-L-DV-K-TR are plated with 10 µin (0.25 µm) of gold over nickel, providing corrosion resistance and stable contact impedance across hundreds of insertion cycles. For applications requiring over 100 mating cycles — such as removable daughter cards or bench test fixtures with 18-pin interfaces — this gold contact finish prevents the oxidation-related contact degradation common in tin-only contacts.
Can the SSM-109-L-DV-K-TR be used as a socket for standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row pin headers in prototyping boards?
Yes. The SSM-109-L-DV-K-TR accepts standard 2.54 mm pitch dual-row pin headers with square or round posts up to 0.025 inch (0.635 mm) diameter, making it directly compatible with common 18-pin dual-row headers used in Arduino-style prototyping shields, embedded module connectors, and breakout boards. Its 0.9 inch body length and surface mount footprint suit compact prototyping PCBs.
