Working Principle

SSM-109-T-SV is an advanced board-to-board connector that uses an “L”-shaped mating mechanism. The connecter can be used for single-row or dual-row configurations. It is designed to have self-aligning features and offers higher-density connection than traditional connections. The contacts in the socket can be custom-made, and they are typically constructed from beryllium copper.

The socket of the SSM-109-T-SV connector is mounted on the receiving board with double screws, providing maximum stability. The contact pin and spring mechanism allows for low force insertion and superior contact. The contact is maintained in the socket with a shock absorbing ferrite core, providing an efficient electrical connection. The spring force of the contact when properly inserted ensures good electrical performance.

Conclusion

SSM-109-T-SV is an economical and reliable board-to-board connector from Samtec that is designed for use in a variety of applications. Its advanced L-shaped mating mechanism and self-aligning features provide higher data speeds and improved connectivity. The contact in the socket is made of beryllium copper for increased durability and the spring force of the contact ensures good electrical performance.
