Key Features
- 6-position dual-row socket on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-reliability SMT interconnects in compact PCB footprints
- High-reliability contact design with gold-plated finish for stable, low-resistance mating across thousands of insertion cycles
- Surface-mount termination eliminates through-hole drilling while providing secure board-level retention in vibration and shock environments
Applications
The SFM-103-T2-S-D-A dual-row socket strip is suited for high-reliability SMT board-to-board and board-to-module connections in aerospace avionics, military electronics, and industrial control systems. Its 6-position, 0.050" pitch configuration routes 6 signals in a minimal footprint, making it ideal for space-constrained daughter-card and mezzanine card designs. The high-reliability construction ensures consistent electrical performance across wide temperature ranges and in mechanically demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact pitch does the SFM-103-T2-S-D-A use, and how does this benefit high-density board layouts?
The SFM-103-T2-S-D-A uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row SMT socket format. This fine pitch allows 6 positions to fit in a footprint roughly half the size of a 0.100" pitch equivalent, saving significant PCB area in compact avionics modules, portable instruments, and miniaturized industrial controllers requiring 6-signal routing.
For which high-reliability applications is the SFM-103-T2-S-D-A socket strip most appropriate?
This part is designed for aerospace, defense, and high-end industrial electronics where vibration, shock, and temperature extremes can degrade connector performance. Its surface-mount, high-reliability construction supports operating temperatures typically from -55°C to +125°C and is suitable for mezzanine card sockets in ruggedized 6-signal interface designs.
How does the dual-row configuration of the SFM-103-T2-S-D-A compare to a single-row socket when routing signals?
The dual-row layout places 3 contacts per row on a 0.050" pitch, halving the body length needed compared to a single-row 6-position socket at the same pitch. This dual-row arrangement keeps the connector body under 0.2 inches long while maintaining 6 independent signal paths, which is critical when routing power and data lines in densely populated SMT boards.
