Samtec CLT Series Straight Surface PCB Socket, 12 Contacts, 2 Row, 2 mm Pitch, Solder, Rugged Dual Wipe Strip CLT-106-02-L-D

The Samtec CLT-106-02-L-D is a straight surface PCB socket designed to facilitate board-to-board interconnection in advanced electronic assemblies. With 12 contact positions organized in dual rows and a 2 mm pitch, it is suitable for compact layouts and demanding applications requiring secure electrical performance. Its rugged dual wipe socket strip construction ensures mechanical reliability during repeated insertions and removals.

This PCB socket leverages the Tiger Claw contact system, which offers firm retention and conductivity, vital for industrial and commercial-grade designs. Its contacts are made of bronze and plated with gold, delivering excellent corrosion resistance and signal integrity. The housing material is liquid crystal polymer, selected for its high-temperature stability and structural strength.

Orientation is straight, supporting efficient surface mount installation. Additionally, it accommodates through-hole mounting for flexible integration. With an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, the CLT-106-02-L-D operates reliably in both harsh industrial environments and sensitive laboratory setups. Its compact form is tailored to applications requiring high-density connections.

Compliant with RoHS and similar environmental standards, this socket strip enables environmentally responsible designs. Designed for board-to-board connector systems, the socket is compatible with automated assembly equipment and provides top and bottom entry pass-through options for versatile layouts.

Industrial and laboratory markets rely on Samtec CLT Series PCB sockets for manufacturing equipment, instrumentation, embedded computing, and communication systems. Its dual wipe contacts support robust signal transmission and minimize failures in critical circuits.
