Samtec SSM Series Straight Surface PCB Socket, 8-Contact, 1 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch Solder SSM-108-L-SV

Samtec SSM-108-L-SV is a high-performance straight surface mount PCB socket designed for board-to-board applications, featuring 8 female contacts in a single row with 2.54 mm pitch spacing. Its robust construction includes a black liquid crystal polymer housing which offers superior mechanical stability and thermal endurance between -55°C and +125°C.

The contacts are made from phosphor bronze and plated with 0.25μm gold on the contact area and matte tin on the tail for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. It supports a voltage of up to 475 V and a current rating of 6.9 A, making it suitable for various electronic and industrial devices requiring reliable electrical connections.

This socket utilizes surface mount technology with solder termination type and maintains a straight orientation for ease of assembly on PCBs. It is part of Samtec's SSM series offering single or double row configurations with horizontal and vertical mount variants, with this variant denoted by the model suffix "SV" indicating single row vertical mount style.

Applications include industrial control systems, communication equipment, instrumentation, and other electronic module connections where compact and robust PCB socket solutions are vital.

The SSM series sockets are compatible with complementary Samtec header series such as TSW (through-hole square post headers), TSM (SMT square post headers), and TLW (low profile square headers), enhancing design flexibility in board-to-board interconnections.

The socket features gold plating on contacts ensuring low contact resistance and enhanced reliability. Body material of liquid crystal polymer ensures mechanical strength and temperature stability. Voltage and current ratings support many industrial and electronic applications.

Compatible with standard 2.54 mm pitch headers for easy integration. Surface mount technology with solder tail termination for automated manufacturing. Operating temperature range supports demanding environments. Single row, 8 contact design suits compact PCB layouts.
