Samtec SSM Series Straight Surface PCB Socket 3-Contact 1 Row 2.54 mm Pitch Solder SSM-103-L-SV

Samtec SSM-103-L-SV is a high-quality straight surface mount PCB socket belonging to the SSM series, engineered for robust board-to-board connectivity in professional and industrial electronics. Featuring three gold-plated female contacts in a single row, this socket is manufactured using liquid crystal polymer, which provides exceptional mechanical strength and stability under thermal stress. The 2.54 mm pitch design is ideal for standard electronic PCB layouts, allowing reliable surface mount solder termination.

The Tiger Claw contact system ensures dependable signal transmission and is suitable for applications requiring repeated mating cycles. Operating at up to 572 V and 5.2 A, this socket supports a wide range of industrial and laboratory use cases, including instrumentation panels, embedded systems, automation controls, and measurement equipment.

Straight orientation supports efficient space management on the PCB, and the solder termination simplifies integration during assembly. The socket withstands temperatures from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for both high-temperature and low-temperature environments. The bronze contacts plated with gold optimize conductivity while minimizing signal loss and degradation, further aided by the robust liquid crystal polymer housing.

Samtec SSM Series sockets are used in industrial control systems, test and measurement equipment, laboratory instrumentation, and commercial electronics. They are especially preferred where secure, repeatable connections with high voltage and current ratings are required, and where environmental resilience is needed.

Typical environments include manufacturing, electronics assembly lines, research labs, and advanced product development panels. The socket is compatible with both single and double row configurations and supports up to 80 pins per application as needed.
