What are the key features of SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P?
- 6-position dual-row socket on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides 3 contacts per row in a body length under 5 mm for ultra-compact PCB interconnects
- Polarization peg (P suffix) ensures keyed mating and prevents reverse connector insertion in multi-connector PCB assemblies
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers consistent low-resistance electrical connection through thousands of insertion cycles
- Surface mount footprint compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles for automated assembly integration
What is SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P used for?
The SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P is suited for ultra-compact board-to-board connections in wearable devices, small sensor modules, and portable instrumentation requiring only 6 signal contacts in a minimal footprint. The polarization peg ensures reliable field assembly and prevents misoriented mating in dense multi-connector layouts. Its SMT format integrates easily into automated production lines for high-volume consumer and industrial electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and total pin count of the SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P, and what PCB footprint does it occupy?
The SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P has 6 total positions in a dual-row layout with 3 contacts per row on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The body length is approximately 3.81 mm (3 positions × 1.27 mm). This very small footprint makes it one of the most compact dual-row SMT connectors in the SFM series, suitable for PCB areas under 5 mm × 3 mm.
How does the P polarization peg on SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P prevent assembly errors on boards with multiple adjacent connectors?
The P suffix denotes a mechanical polarization peg molded into the connector housing. This peg mates with a corresponding slot in the plug, physically blocking incorrect orientations. On PCBs with 2 or more adjacent 6-position connectors spaced close together, the peg ensures each mating half connects only to its designated counterpart, preventing mis-mating that could damage sensitive signal pins or cause 3.3 V or 5 V rail shorts.
When would an engineer choose SFM-103-02-SM-D-A-P over a through-hole 6-pin connector for the same application?
An engineer would choose the SMT SFM-103 over a through-hole alternative when board thickness is under 1.6 mm, when via drilling adds cost to low-layer-count PCBs, or when automated SMT assembly eliminates the hand-insertion step required for through-hole parts. The SMT version also allows placing connectors on both sides of the board, enabling double-sided mezzanine stacks with inter-board clearances as small as 4 mm.
