What are the key features of SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC?
- 6-position dual-row socket configuration at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-density board-to-board signal routing
- Latching clip (LC) retention mechanism providing mechanical lock to prevent vibration-induced unmating in demanding environments
- High-reliability socket strip design with surface mount termination supporting compact PCB stacking and dense connector placement
What is SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC used for?
The SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC is designed for high-reliability board-to-board and board-to-module interconnect applications in defense electronics, industrial automation, and medical instrumentation. Its 6-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch layout with latching clip retention ensures secure connections in shock and vibration environments where accidental unmating cannot be tolerated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the latching clip feature on SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC improve connector retention compared to standard press-fit sockets?
The latching clip (LC) retention adds a mechanical lock that engages when the mated connector pair is fully seated, preventing accidental separation under vibration or shock loads. Standard socket strips rely solely on contact normal force for retention, while the LC mechanism on this 6-position 0.050 inch pitch connector provides a discrete positive lock requiring deliberate release force to unmate.
For a stacked PCB design using 6 signal lines, how does SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC's 0.050 inch pitch compare to 0.100 inch pitch alternatives?
At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC occupies roughly half the linear board space of a 0.100 inch pitch equivalent for the same 6-position dual-row circuit count. This enables denser PCB stack arrangements and tighter module spacing in compact systems where every millimeter of board area affects system volume and weight.
Which high-reliability industries commonly specify the SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC socket strip for board interconnect designs?
Defense avionics, industrial control modules, and medical device PCB assemblies frequently specify high-reliability socket strips at 0.050 inch pitch with latching retention. The SFM-103-T2-H-D-LC meets the connection security requirements of these 6-position dual-row applications where field maintenance access is limited and unplanned disconnection could cause equipment failure or safety hazards.
