TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Series Straight Surface PCB Socket, 16-Contact, 2 Row, 1.27 mm Pitch Solder 8-188275-6

TE Connectivity 8-188275-6 Micro-MaTch Series Straight Surface PCB Socket is a high-performance female-on-board SMT socket connector designed for reliable, compact board-to-board and wire-to-board interconnections. Featuring 16 contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 1.27 mm pitch, this surface mount component is designed for efficient use in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

The socket's contact spring system is engineered to prevent fretting corrosion, ensuring a gas-tight connection that maintains electrical performance despite vibration and thermal expansion. The polarized housing prevents mismating, and versions with locking latches are available for added security.

Constructed with tin-plated bronze contacts housed in a polyamide body, this connector supports currents up to 1.5A and voltages up to 230V. It operates reliably in harsh environments with a temperature range from -40°C to 105°C. The 2.54 mm row pitch and straight orientation facilitate straightforward integration into PCB designs.

Applications encompass a broad range of electronic and industrial systems, including production and material handling equipment, robotics, control units, automotive audio and dashboard systems, navigation systems, base stations, set-top boxes, and general audio equipment. This versatility makes it suitable for industries such as manufacturing, automotive, telecommunications, and consumer electronics.
