What are the key features of SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR?

  • 6-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch for minimal footprint board-to-board connections
  • STL (short-tail) solder termination reducing standoff height for low-profile PCB assemblies
  • Tape-and-reel packaging for high-throughput automated pick-and-place SMT manufacturing
  • High-reliability gold-plated contacts with contact resistance below 20 milliohm
  • Compatible with SAMTEC TSM-103 header series for consistent mating performance

What is SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?

SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR suits low-profile module attachment and compact daughter-card interfaces in portable medical devices, IoT sensors, and wearable electronics where board clearance is constrained. The 6-position 0.050 inch pitch allows only 6 power or signal connections in a footprint under 10 mm long. Tape-and-reel format supports volume production on automated SMT assembly lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the STL designation mean for SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR and how does it affect PCB assembly?

STL stands for short-tail solder termination, which reduces the solder tail length below the standard configuration, lowering the connector standoff height by approximately 1 mm to 2 mm. This is beneficial in applications where board-to-board clearance is restricted to under 5 mm, such as compact wearable devices and thin portable instruments.

How many contacts and at what pitch does SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR provide for a small module interface?

SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR provides 6 contacts arranged in 2 rows of 3 pins on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. Each contact is rated at 1 A continuous current up to 125 V AC/DC with contact resistance below 20 milliohm, covering a PCB footprint of approximately 5 mm x 3.5 mm.

Which applications benefit from using SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR instead of a through-hole 6-position connector?

Surface-mount designs targeting automated reflow assembly benefit most, since SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR eliminates hand-soldering of through-hole pins and reduces placement cycle time. Medical wearables, IoT sensor nodes, and industrial wireless modules gain both a lower profile under 3 mm and tape-and-reel packaging for pick-and-place equipment.

What is the mating header for SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR and what stack heights are available?

SFM-103-02-STL-D-A-P-TR mates with SAMTEC TSM-103 series headers on the same 0.050 inch dual-row 6-position footprint. Mating stack heights in the SAMTEC SFM/TSM family range from approximately 4 mm to 20 mm, and the operating temperature range spans -55°C to 125°C for industrial-grade reliability.
