What are the key features of SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS?
- 6-position dual-row configuration on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density surface-mount board-to-board connections
- High-reliability precision contacts with gold finish supporting repeated mating cycles in test, aerospace, and medical applications
- Surface-mount SMT footprint compatible with standard reflow processes, eliminating through-hole drilling and enabling double-sided PCB assembly
What is SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS used for?
The SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS is ideal for fine-pitch board-to-board and board-to-module interconnects in space-constrained designs such as medical devices, aerospace electronics, and high-density computing modules. Its 0.050-inch pitch dual-row layout maximizes signal density while keeping connector footprint minimal on SMT-assembled boards. The high-reliability contact design suits applications that require repeated mating and demating cycles without degradation, such as test and measurement fixtures and removable daughter card assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and row configuration does the SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS use, and why does that matter for high-density PCB layouts?
The SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row arrangement, providing 6 positions in a footprint smaller than equivalent 0.100 inch pitch connectors. This fine pitch enables designers to place high-density board-to-board interconnects in area-constrained zones of medical, aerospace, or compact embedded PCBs without sacrificing contact count.
How many mating cycles is the SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS designed to support, and which use cases benefit most from that rating?
SAMTEC's SFM series high-reliability socket strips with gold contact finish are rated for up to 500 mating cycles, making them well suited for removable daughter cards, test fixture probing, and field-replaceable module interfaces where connectors are inserted and removed frequently during the product's service life across at least 2 contact positions per mating.
Can SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS be assembled using standard SMT reflow processes, and what temperature profile is compatible?
Yes, the SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS is a surface-mount component compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly using a peak reflow temperature of up to 260°C per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SMT termination style eliminates the need for through-hole drilling, allowing it to be placed on double-sided PCBs alongside other fine-pitch components in a single reflow pass.
Which SAMTEC mating connector series is compatible with SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS for dual-row 0.050 inch pitch applications?
The SFM-103-02-SM-D-DS mates with SAMTEC's TSM and SSM series 0.050 inch pitch header strips, providing a matched 6-position dual-row interface. These mating headers are available in through-hole and surface-mount versions with contact heights from 0.6 mm to several millimeters, allowing designers to select the precise board-to-board stack height required for their application.
