971-SLR-SMD is a pin strip with a pitch of 5 mm for the application in a reflow soldering process. In contrary to the well-known pin rows 971-SLR and 971-SLR-THR, for which holes in the PCB are necessary, the SMD types of WECO base on true surface assembly. Soldering expanses at the end of the pins guarantee optimal retention force on the printed circuit board. We recommend this pin strip with a diamter of 1,1 in the mating area for higher numbers of poles, in order to minimize the plug-in and withdrawal forces here. Just like all THR versions of WECO also the housings of the SMD series are made out of high temperature resistant plastic material and exhibit a very high CTI value. For the automatic assembling all pin strips of this series are packed in Tape-on-Reel and equipped with high temperature resistant Pick Caps, which can easily be removed after the soldering process.
