CES10201TS – SAMTEC

Overview

The Samtec CES10201TS is a 2-position, single-row, through-hole socket header designed for robust board-to-board interconnectivity. Its critical operational characteristic lies in its 2.54mm pitch and 5.5A current rating, enabling reliable signal and power delivery. A key design consideration for this component, particularly in applications demanding high density, is the trade-off between its tin contact plating for cost-effectiveness and the potential for increased contact resistance over time compared to gold plating, necessitating careful impedance matching and signal integrity analysis in high-speed designs.
