Samtec SQW Series Straight Through Hole PCB Socket, 4-Contact, 2 Row, 2 mm Pitch, Solder Termination, 12A SQW-102-01-L-D

Samtec SQW-102-01-L-D is a precision-manufactured straight through hole PCB socket belonging to the SQW series. It is designed for high-reliability board-to-board connections where a 2 mm pitch and a compact 2-row layout provide efficient circuit assembly. The 4-contact female socket features bronze contacts with 0.25 μm gold plating on contact surfaces and matte tin plating at PCB tails for corrosion resistance and longevity.

The housing is crafted from black Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), ensuring mechanical stability and maintaining performance over a wide temperature range from -55°C to +125°C. With a current rating of 12 A and voltage rating of 500 V, this component suits demanding industrial, electronic, and telecommunications equipment.

Terminal soldering onto PCB and through-hole mounting provide reliable mechanical and electrical connections. The straight connector orientation facilitates straightforward mating to corresponding headers and ensures ease of assembly. The socket’s above board height of 6.35 mm supports tight vertical stacking in complex multi-board systems.

Given its rugged design and resistance to harsh conditions, the SQW Series socket is particularly recommended for use in industrial control systems, telecommunications hardware, instrumentation, and other commercial electronics requiring robust and reliable connectors.

This product complements the matching TMM SMT and through-hole headers (stock references available separately) for full system interconnect solutions. This socket supports a current rating of 12 amperes for reliable electrical performance.

The contact gender is female with bronze contacts plated with 0.25 μm gold for enhanced conductivity. It uses a through hole mount type with solder termination for secure PCB installation. The socket housing is made of black liquid crystal polymer which ensures durability and stability under heat.

Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C, suitable for harsh industrial environments. The unit supports voltages up to 500 volts and a row pitch of 2 mm between contacts. Its straight orientation and board-to-board connector system facilitate compact and rugged assembly.

The above board height is calibrated at 6.35 mm allowing for precise board stacking configurations. Explore more reliable PCB Sockets and connectors within the Samtec range on EnvMart to enhance your electronic assemblies and power delivery solutions.
