Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and row configuration of the SSQ-108-03-G-S connector?
The SSQ-108-03-G-S features a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch in a single-row, 8-position layout. This standard pitch enables compatibility with common pin headers used in development boards, sensor modules, and modular PCB systems.
How does the gold contact finish on the SSQ-108-03-G-S improve connector performance?
The mating contacts are plated with gold (Au) over a nickel (Ni) barrier, providing low contact resistance typically below 20 mΩ and excellent corrosion resistance. This finish ensures reliable signal integrity even after hundreds of mating cycles in demanding environments.
Which embedded system designs benefit from using the SSQ-108-03-G-S socket strip?
This connector suits Arduino shield stacking, Raspberry Pi expansion boards, and any modular embedded design using 2.54 mm pin headers. Its through-hole PTH footprint supports robust mechanical retention on PCBs subject to vibration or frequent plug/unplug cycles.
