Current, Plating, and the Locking Ramp
The SM03B-ZESS-TB(LF)(SN): Tin is the workhorse finish for low-cycle internal connections — it's cost-effective and reliable for a few dozen mate-unmate cycles, but don't spec it for a field-service connector that gets cycled weekly. The UL94 V-0 nylon housing won't sustain a flame in an enclosed equipment panel — a standard requirement for anything inside a UL-listed enclosure.
The base product number is SM03B-ZE; the suffix TB(LF)(SN) indicates Tape & Reel packaging with lead-free solder. Cut Tape quantities are also available through the same package options.
