TE Connectivity Micro-MaTch Series Straight Through Hole Mount PCB Socket, 18-Contact, 2-Row, 2.54mm Pitch, Solder

Micro-MaTch Female-on-Board PCB socket connectors for use in both vertical and right angle board to board and wire to board interconnections. The Micro-MaTch range of connectors have a compact, space saving design with a 1.27mm pitch. The female contacts have a contact spring system that prevents fretting corrosion. A positioning spring absorbs movement between the male and female contacts caused by vibration and thermal expansion. Prevention of movement on the contact spot enables a gas tight connection to be made which makes the contact spring system fretting resistant. These Micro-MaTch Female-on-Board PCB sockets feature a kinked leg design for secure retention to the PCB. Versions are available with a top or side entry and locking latches for a secure mating connection.
