What are the key features of SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR?

  • 4-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-compact, high-density SMT signal connections
  • Locking contact (LC) mechanism ensures secure mating and improved vibration resistance in harsh environments
  • Low-profile mating (LM) design minimizes board height, ideal for space-constrained applications
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging enables fully automated high-volume pick-and-place assembly

What is SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR used for?

The SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR is used in compact board-to-board interconnect designs for telecommunications, medical devices, and portable electronics where a 4-position 0.050" pitch SMT socket is required. The locking contact feature makes it suitable for applications exposed to vibration or mechanical stress. Its low-profile design is ideal for thin PCB stack-up configurations in space-constrained enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pitch and position count of the SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR socket strip?

The SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR has 4 positions in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, meaning 2 positions per row. This ultra-fine pitch enables high-density connections in extremely compact PCB footprints typical of portable and miniaturized electronic assemblies.

What does the LC designation in SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR indicate about its contact design?

The LC designation stands for Locking Contact, indicating that the socket features a mechanical retention mechanism that secures the mated connector pair. This locking feature provides improved resistance to vibration and accidental disconnection, making it suitable for industrial, medical, and ruggedized applications with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch constraints.

Is the SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR compatible with automated SMT assembly processes?

Yes. The -TR suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging and the surface-mount termination style is fully compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering at typical peak temperatures around 260°C. These features make this 4-position connector suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place production lines.

How does the SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR compare to standard-pitch connectors for board-to-board use?

Compared to standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connectors, the SFM-102-L2-LM-D-LC-TR's 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch reduces the footprint by approximately 50% per row, enabling higher connection density in compact designs. The added locking contact mechanism and low-profile mating height provide greater mechanical security than typical standard-pitch alternatives.
