What are the key features of T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT?

  • 16-position dual-row layout on 2.00 mm pitch optimized for discrete wire termination in high-density assemblies
  • Tiger Eye contact technology delivers superior wiping action and low insertion force for extended mating cycles exceeding 30 cycles
  • Surface-mount (SM) termination style with white (WT) housing for easy visual inspection and automated assembly compatibility
  • High-reliability design suitable for harsh environments with operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C

What is T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT used for?

T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT is designed for high-reliability discrete wire interconnects in aerospace, defense, and industrial control applications where long mating cycle life and signal integrity across 16 positions on a 2.00 mm pitch are paramount. Its surface-mount footprint simplifies PCB assembly and enables compact board designs in ruggedized embedded computing and avionics systems. The Tiger Eye contact geometry also makes it a preferred choice for test fixture interfaces and field-replaceable module connectors that undergo frequent mating and unmating.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many mating cycles is the T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT Tiger Eye contact rated for, and what makes it more reliable than standard headers?

SAMTEC Tiger Eye contacts in the T2M series are rated for a minimum of 30 mating cycles with a normal contact force of approximately 100 grams per pin, compared to 10–15 cycles typical of commodity 2.00 mm pitch discrete wire headers. The unique tiger-eye geometry provides a dual wiping action that clears oxidation and contamination from the mating surface on each insertion, maintaining low contact resistance over the full rated cycle life.

What PCB footprint does the T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT require and how does the 2.00 mm pitch affect routing density?

The T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT uses a surface-mount (SM) footprint on a 2.00 mm (0.079 inch) pitch, placing 8 contacts per row across 2 rows for a total of 16 positions. The 2.00 mm grid is tighter than the standard 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, saving approximately 20 % of connector footprint area and allowing more routing channels between pads in fine-pitch PCB layouts targeting 6-layer boards.

In which high-reliability market segments is the T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT most commonly specified as a discrete wire interconnect?

The T2M-108-01-S-D-SM-WT is commonly specified in avionics, military ground vehicles, and industrial automation equipment where the 16-position 2.00 mm pitch header must survive -55 °C to +125 °C temperature cycling and 10 g vibration. Its white housing aids visual inspection during post-solder quality audits, making it popular in IPC Class 3 production lines for medical devices and satellite communication modules.
