Samtec CLT Series Straight Surface PCB Socket, 20 Contacts, 2 Rows, 2 mm Pitch, Solder Mount, CLT-110-02-G-D-A

The Samtec CLT-110-02-G-D-A is a precision-engineered straight PCB socket designed for demanding electronic board-to-board connection applications. As part of the Samtec CLT series, this socket features a surface-mount termination that offers both easy assembly and reliable mechanical stability on printed circuit boards. With 20 contact points arranged in two rows at a 2 mm pitch, this connector allows for compact, high-density PCB layouts, making it ideal for modern electronic designs where board space is at a premium.

This socket employs dual-wipe contact technology using phosphor bronze for excellent spring properties and electrical performance. Gold over tin contact plating ensures stable electrical conductivity and strong resistance to oxidation, which is essential for maintaining long-term connection quality and reliability in industrial, automation, and instrumentation assemblies.

The housing is constructed from black liquid crystal polymer, a material valued for its high mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and ability to withstand repeated high-temperature soldering cycles. This provides durable insulation and dimensional stability, even in harsh operational conditions. The socket is designed for surface mounting, simplifying the assembly process in automated manufacturing and enabling strong solder joints for vibration-prone or mobile environments.

The Samtec CLT-110-02-G-D-A supports a maximum contact current of 4.1 A per pin and accommodates operating temperatures ranging from -55°C up to 125°C, making it well suited for a wide variety of industrial and commercial environments. It is fully RoHS compliant, assuring adherence to stringent environmental standards. The socket is engineered for applications including industrial control panels, embedded electronics, telecom systems, test and measurement devices, and other designs requiring robust, compact board-to-board connectivity.

Its standard 2 mm pitch and straight configuration allow for straightforward PCB mating and modular system expansion. The dual row structure enables reliable connections while minimizing board footprint. The socket's mounting orientation and robust mechanical properties ensure secure electrical contact in densely populated and high-performance electronic systems.

Engineers and designers choose this Samtec connector for new product development, upgrades of legacy systems, and repairs where a high-quality surface-mount PCB socket is essential. Its specification profile and compliance make it a strong fit for industrial electronics, scientific instrumentation, and embedded computing systems.
