What are the key features of SFM-103-02-L-D-A?
- 6-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivers high contact density in a 0.305 inch body length for space-critical SMT designs
- Tin-over-nickel barrier termination contacts ensure robust solderability and long-term corrosion resistance across industrial temperature ranges
- High-reliability socket strip construction with square pin contact style supports precise alignment and repeatable low-resistance mating in automated assemblies
What is SFM-103-02-L-D-A used for?
The SFM-103-02-L-D-A is used in compact board-to-board and module-to-baseboard interconnect applications across industrial instrumentation, medical devices, and embedded computing platforms where 6 dual-row signals must be routed within a 0.050 inch pitch SMT footprint. Its reliable tin-over-nickel termination and precise rectangular contact pattern also make it a preferred choice for FPGA mezzanine cards, sensor modules, and high-cycle test fixtures requiring stable low-resistance connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a compact sensor module running at 3.3 V logic, how does the SFM-103-02-L-D-A fit within a 0.050 inch pitch board layout?
The SFM-103-02-L-D-A body is only 0.305 inch long and 0.145 inch wide, accommodating 6 dual-row contacts at the 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch standard, which fits comfortably on sensor module PCBs needing 12 total signal connections in under 8 mm of linear board space.
How does the tin-over-nickel contact finish affect the soldering process for the SFM-103-02-L-D-A in an SMT reflow oven?
The matte tin with nickel barrier termination finish on the SFM-103-02-L-D-A is fully compatible with standard SAC305 lead-free solder paste reflow profiles peaking at around 250 °C, and the nickel barrier prevents tin diffusion into the copper lead frame, extending solder joint reliability across thermal cycling from -40 °C to 85 °C.
When is the SFM-103-02-L-D-A preferable to a through-hole dual-row socket for a compact industrial PCB design?
In designs where board thickness is under 1.6 mm or component clearance on the back side is under 2 mm, the SFM-103-02-L-D-A surface-mount profile of approximately 0.185 inch depth avoids drilling and wave-soldering constraints, and its 6-position SMT format reduces assembly steps compared with through-hole alternatives at the same 0.050 inch pitch.
