20 Position Receptacle Connector 0.100" (2.54mm) Through Hole Tin The SSQ-110-03-T-D is a through-hole dual-row socket strip receptacle connector manufactured by Samtec, designed for board-to-board and pin header mating applications using the industry-standard pitch spacing that has been dominant in through-hole PCB interconnect design for decades. It belongs to Samtec's SSQ series, a family of square-post socket strip connectors that accept standard square-pin headers and are widely used across prototyping, instrumentation, test and measurement, embedded systems, industrial control, and general-purpose PCB stacking applications. As a socket strip of the receptacle gender, the SSQ-110-03-T-D is intended to receive a mating male pin header, creating a reliable and separable board-to-board or wire-to-board connection. The dual-row configuration provides a higher contact density within a given board length than a single-row socket, which is why dual-row socket strips in this pitch class are extensively used in applications such as microcontroller and single-board computer expansion connectors, module-to-baseboard interfaces, and other designs where a significant number of signal, power, or ground connections must be made across a single separable connector interface. The connector features square solder tails for through-hole PCB mounting, with the "-T" suffix in the part number designating the square post tail style, which provides a well-defined mechanical footprint and reliable solder joint formation in wave solder and hand-solder assembly processes. The "-D" suffix indicates the dual-row configuration. Contact material is phosphor bronze, a widely used spring-contact alloy chosen for its combination of good electrical conductivity, excellent spring properties that maintain consistent contact force across many mating cycles, and resistance to stress relaxation over time. The contacts are finished with matte tin plating over nickel underplate, providing a solderable, cost-effective contact surface suitable for the majority of general-purpose signal and low-power applications for which this connector class is typically used. The insulator body is molded from black liquid crystal polymer, a high-performance engineering thermoplastic that offers the high dimensional stability, excellent electrical insulation properties, and high-temperature resistance needed to withstand wave soldering and reflow-adjacent thermal exposure during PCB assembly. The material also carries a UL94 V-0 flammability rating, reflecting its self-extinguishing behavior in the event of an ignition source, which is required or preferred in many end-product regulatory compliance frameworks. The SSQ series is widely used in conjunction with Samtec's TSW series male pin headers as a complementary mating pair, and the connector is compatible with a broad range of standard square-pin headers from other manufacturers that conform to the same pitch and pin geometry, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose through-hole header applications.

100 Position Connector Receptacle, Center Strip Contacts Surface Mount Gold The DF40C-100DS-0.4V(51) is a board-to-board and board-to-FPC receptacle connector manufactured by Hirose Electric. It belongs to the DF40 series, a family of fine-pitch stacking connectors intended for compact, high-density interconnect applications such as mobile devices, cameras, wearables, and other space-constrained electronics. The connector functions as the receptacle (socket) half of a mating pair, designed to stack with a corresponding DF40 plug header to join two printed circuit boards, or a printed circuit board and a flexible printed circuit, in a low-profile vertical arrangement. This particular part number represents the full-position, low-profile variant within the series, configured without a reinforcing metal fitting and without a locating boss or mechanical holddown feature, meaning it relies on the contact array itself rather than additional structural hardware for mechanical retention during reflow and handling. The connector is supplied in straight, surface-mount form and is non-polarized, so it can be inserted in either orientation relative to its mating counterpart. Contacts are arranged in parallel rows along the connector body, with gold plating in the contact mating area to ensure reliable signal continuity and resistance to oxidation over repeated use. The series is positioned by Hirose as a general-purpose, high-speed-capable interconnect, suitable for a range of differential and single-ended signaling standards used in consumer and industrial electronics, with the broader DF40 family supporting interfaces such as USB, MIPI, SATA, and PCIe. Its low stacking height and fine contact pitch make it well suited to applications where board-to-board spacing must be minimized, such as camera modules, display modules, or stacked daughterboard architectures in handheld and wearable products. The connector is packaged on embossed carrier tape for automated pick-and-place assembly, and its construction is compliant with RoHS material restrictions. Mechanically, the connector body is built to support repeated mating cycles typical of consumer electronics assembly and rework, while maintaining stable electrical contact under vibration and thermal cycling across its rated environmental range. As a stacking-style connector rather than a card-edge or cable-mount type, it is intended to be soldered directly to a host PCB pad pattern, with the mating plug soldered to the corresponding board or FPC, allowing the two assemblies to be joined and separated as needed during manufacturing, test, or service operations.
