Key Features
- 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) fine pitch delivers high contact density in a minimal PCB footprint for space-critical designs
- 6-position dual-row layout provides 6 mating contacts in a very compact surface mount package
- High-reliability socket contact system ensures consistent normal force and low contact resistance across repeated mating cycles
- Surface mount termination integrates into standard reflow soldering processes for automated SMT production
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables high-volume pick-and-place assembly with precise feeder-compatible supply
Applications
The SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR is ideal for compact module-to-carrier board connections in wearable electronics, portable medical devices, and miniaturized IoT sensor nodes where only 6 signals need to be transferred at fine 0.050 inch pitch. The high-reliability socket design suits products that undergo repeated plug-in and removal of daughter modules during calibration, servicing, or configuration. Its SMT format and tape-and-reel packaging support automated assembly in high-volume production environments with minimal footprint impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR provide, and how small is its PCB footprint?
The SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR has 6 positions on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row arrangement. The fine 1.27 mm pitch means the 3-position-per-row dual-row footprint occupies roughly 5 mm or less in total length, making it one of the most compact socket options available for 6-signal board-to-board interfaces.
How does the high-reliability contact rating of the SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR compare to standard socket strips for detachable module applications?
High-reliability SAMTEC SFM contacts maintain consistent mating force and contact resistance below specified limits across a higher number of insertion cycles than standard socket strips, typically hundreds of cycles rather than tens. This makes the SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR the preferred choice for plug-in sensor modules, replaceable wireless radios, or configurable daughter cards that are frequently swapped in the field.
Which compact product categories most commonly use the 6-position 0.050 inch pitch dual-row socket of the SFM-103-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR?
Wearable health monitors, miniature GPS receivers, BLE sensor nodes, and small camera modules frequently use 6-position fine-pitch dual-row sockets to connect a module to a host PCB over a 0.050 inch pitch interface. The 6-pin count suits I2C plus power (4 pins), SPI with chip select (5-6 pins), or UART with power rails in a single connector occupying under 5 mm of board edge.
