The SMS-115-01-L-D is a surface mount socket strip manufactured by Samtec. It belongs to the SMS series, which is known for its high-density interconnect solutions. This particular connector has 15 positions per row and a dual-row configuration, resulting in a total of 30 contacts. The contact pitch is typically 0.050" (1.27mm), allowing for high-density connections on printed circuit boards (PCBs). The "L" likely refers to the plating material (e.g., gold flash), and the "D" indicates a dual-row configuration. These connectors are often used for board-to-board connections where space is at a premium.

Applications

• Board-to-Board Connections: Used to connect two PCBs together in a parallel or perpendicular orientation.
• High-Density Interconnects: Provides a compact and reliable connection solution for high-density applications.
• Module Connections: Connects plug-in modules to a baseboard.
• Data Transmission: Used for transmitting high-speed data signals.
• Medical Equipment: Employed in medical devices requiring small size and reliable connections.

Features

• 15 Positions per Row: Provides a large number of connection points in a small space.
• Dual Row Configuration: Increases the density of connections.
• 0.050" (1.27mm) Pitch: High-density pitch for compact designs.
• Surface Mount Termination: Designed for surface mount soldering on PCBs.
• Low Profile Design: Minimizes the overall height of the connection.
