Key Features
- 6-position dual-row socket in a compact 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch footprint ideal for low pin-count board stacking and mezzanine interconnects
- Tiger Eye beryllium copper contacts with gold over nickel plating deliver consistent low contact resistance across thousands of mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume SMT production runs
Applications
SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR is used in compact embedded modules, sensor interface boards, and small mezzanine card designs where 6 signals must connect between boards at minimum footprint using 0.050" pitch. The dual-row layout provides 6 connections in approximately 0.15" of board length, making it practical for miniature IoT nodes, wearable medical devices, and small form-factor compute modules. Its tape-and-reel packaging supports automated SMT production in cost-sensitive high-volume designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How small is the SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR footprint for a 6-position dual-row socket?
SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR provides 6 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 3 pins per row spanning approximately 0.10" (2.54 mm) along the connector body. This extremely compact footprint is suitable for miniature embedded modules, wearable electronics, and small sensor boards where connector area must be minimized to under 0.2" in length.
What contact material and plating does SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR use to ensure reliability?
SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR uses Tiger Eye beryllium copper contacts with gold plating over a nickel barrier. Beryllium copper provides superior spring-back force maintaining consistent contact pressure across all 6 pins, while the gold over nickel finish prevents oxidation and keeps contact resistance below 20 milliohms even after hundreds of mating cycles in industrial or medical environments.
For a compact IoT sensor board needing 6 high-speed signals, when does SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR outperform a through-hole alternative?
SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR eliminates through-hole drilling for 6 positions, freeing inner PCB layers for routing and allowing the connector to sit on a board as thin as 0.6 mm. The 0.050" pitch surface mount footprint is also approximately 75% smaller than a comparable 0.100" through-hole DIP socket, fitting comfortably on a 10 mm × 10 mm sensor module where every square millimeter of board space matters.
Over what temperature range does SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR reliably operate and what applications does this enable?
SFM-103-T2-FM-D-A-P-TR operates reliably from -55°C to +125°C, covering both consumer and full industrial temperature specifications. This enables its use in outdoor environmental sensors, automotive interior electronics rated for +105°C continuous, and industrial field devices mounted near heat sources, where a 6-pin socket connecting a 0.050" pitch daughter module must maintain reliable contact through wide thermal cycles.
