Samtec SSM Series Straight Surface PCB Socket, 32 Contacts, 2 Row, 2.54 mm Pitch, Solder, SSM-116-L-DV

The Samtec SSM-116-L-DV is a high-quality straight surface mount PCB socket engineered for efficient board-to-board connections in a range of electronic assemblies. Featuring 32 contacts arranged in 2 rows on a 2.54 mm pitch, this connector delivers precise and reliable connectivity where densely packed PCB layouts are required.

Designed with a straight orientation for surface mounting, the socket is ideal for automated assembly processes and ensures optimal alignment and mechanical robustness during soldering to the circuit board. Each contact is fabricated from bronze and finished with gold plating to provide superior electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, thus ensuring lasting performance in demanding environments.

The housing of the SSM-116-L-DV is constructed from durable liquid crystal polymer (LCP), which offers excellent mechanical stability, electrical insulation, and resistance to high operating temperatures. The device is rated to handle a maximum current of 5.2 A and a voltage up to 572 V, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of electronics and power distribution tasks.

The socket's 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch allows seamless integration into typical PCB designs. Its dual-row configuration supports both single and double-row applications with up to 80 pins, providing flexible options for complex circuits. The Tiger Claw™ contact system ensures secure engagement with mating pins, enhancing contact reliability even in vibration-prone or high-use settings.

The SSM-116-L-DV offers an operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for both industrial and commercial electronic equipment, including instrumentation, automation systems, communications hardware, and more. Its female contact gender supports a wide variety of pin header pairings, ensuring compatibility within standard design frameworks.

This product is part of the Samtec SSM Series, a line well-regarded for high-density interconnections in demanding PCB layouts. Surface mount termination not only streamlines PCB assembly but also provides robust mechanical and thermal performance for the finalized product.

The Samtec SSM-116-L-DV PCB socket is a reliable connectivity solution engineered for versatility, durability, and ease of integration into high-performance electronic systems.
