What are the key features of SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC?
- 4-position dual-row layout on .050-inch pitch enables minimal-footprint SMT board-to-board connections for tightly spaced PCBs
- High-reliability precision spring contacts deliver consistent normal force across all 4 positions for dependable low-resistance mating
- Surface-mount termination is compatible with standard SMT reflow processes, supporting automated PCB assembly without through-hole drilling
What is SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC used for?
The SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC is designed for compact module attachment points, test probe interfaces, and small signal routing connections where only 4 contacts are required at .050-inch pitch. Its minimal footprint suits wearable electronics, sensor nodes, and micro-module PCBs where a larger multi-position socket strip would consume excessive board area relative to the number of signals being connected.

Frequently Asked Questions
For what application is a 4-position .050-inch pitch socket like SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC preferable to a larger strip?
SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC is preferable when the interface only requires 4 signals, such as SPI (MISO, MOSI, SCK, CS) or a 2-wire differential pair with power and ground, and minimizing connector footprint is critical. On a .050-inch pitch, the 4-position dual-row body occupies under 5.1 mm of board length, making it appropriate for wearable devices, IoT sensor modules, and micro-form-factor PCBs.
How does the LC designation on SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC affect its installation on a PCB compared to a standard SFM strip?
The LC (low-clearance or lead-cut) designation indicates a modified termination that reduces the post-solder protrusion on the bottom of the board, keeping the assembly profile lower. This is important in stacked or sandwiched PCB assemblies where the back side clearance between boards is limited to 1 mm or less, preventing the connector from interfering with adjacent components or the opposing board surface.
What mating header from the SAMTEC TSW or TFM family mates with the SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC socket strip?
The SFM-102-T2-S-D-LC mates with SAMTEC TFM or TSW series .050-inch pitch dual-row headers of the same 2-row, 2-position-per-row (4-position total) configuration. Selecting the matching TFM or TSW header with the same pin length ensures the 4-position socket engages fully on the .050-inch grid, providing the specified contact normal force and electrical continuity across all 4 circuits.
