Samtec BCS Series Right Angle Through Hole 20-Contact 1 Row 2.54 mm Pitch Board-to-Board PCB Socket BCS-120-L-S-HE

Samtec BCS-120-L-S-HE is a high-quality right angle through hole PCB socket designed for board-to-board connectivity in electronic and industrial applications. Featuring a standard 2.54 mm pitch and a single row of 20 contacts, this BCS Series socket supports reliable electrical connections with a current rating of 5.9 amperes and a voltage rating of 450 volts.

The socket's housing is made from black liquid crystal polymer, providing excellent mechanical strength and thermal stability from -55°C to +125°C. Contact materials include bronze with a 0.25 μm gold plating over phosphor bronze contacts to ensure optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the tails are plated with matte tin to facilitate soldering.

This through hole mount connector is oriented at a right angle, making it ideal for horizontal board-to-board connections in compact electronic assemblies. It is part of the BCS series, known for standardized 2.54 mm pitch sockets available in top or horizontal entry versions, where the -HE suffix denotes horizontal entry.

The BCS-120-L-S-HE socket complies with environmental standards such as CHINA RoHS, EU REACH, and EU RoHS, ensuring sustainability and regulatory compliance for electronic manufacturers.

Industrial applications include use in power connectors for automation, control systems, telecommunications, and general electronics manufacturing. The socket mates seamlessly with complementary Samtec product lines including TSW series through hole square post headers and TSM series surface mount headers, enabling versatile board stacking and interconnection solutions.
