What are the key features of SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P?

  • 6-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch providing a minimal-footprint high-reliability SMT socket for compact PCB interconnect
  • Gold-plated contacts with 2A per pin rating and extended T2 tail length for improved SMT solder joint formation on multi-layer PCBs
  • High-reliability construction rated -55°C to +125°C supporting demanding aerospace, industrial, and military application environments

What is SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P used for?

The SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P is suited for space-constrained board-to-board socket applications in small embedded modules, sensor interface boards, and avionics sub-assemblies that require only 6 signals at a compact 0.050" pitch. Its extended T2 tail and no-lead SMT termination improve solder joint reliability during 260°C reflow assembly on high-layer-count PCBs. The wide operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C qualifies the connector for military avionics, satellite electronics, and harsh-environment industrial instrumentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal contacts does SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P provide, and in what arrangement?

SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P provides 6 contacts in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 3 contacts per row. This minimal 6-pin layout is ideal for compact sensor interfaces, SPI or I2C bus connections, and small power-plus-signal bridges where board real estate is extremely limited and a full-size header would be impractical.

For a small satellite payload module, does SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P meet the -55°C to +85°C operating range?

Yes, SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P is rated from -55°C to +125°C, which fully covers the -55°C to +85°C range required by most small satellite and space-grade electronics specifications. Its gold-plated contacts maintain stable contact resistance and 2A per pin current capacity across this range, supporting reliable signal and power delivery during on-orbit thermal cycling.

What does the T2 tail designation mean for PCB pad design when assembling SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P on a 6-layer board?

The T2 designation indicates an extended SMT tail length of approximately 2.03 mm, longer than the standard T1 tail. On a 6-layer board with 35 µm copper layers and solder mask defined pads, the longer T2 tail provides more solder wetting area, improving joint strength and coplanarity tolerance during 260°C lead-free reflow. This reduces open-solder defect rates in automated SMT assembly compared to shorter-tail variants.

How does SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P compare to SFM-103-02-FM-D-K-TR in applications requiring tape-and-reel packaging?

SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P and SFM-103-02-FM-D-K-TR both provide 6-position dual-row layouts at 0.050" pitch and 2A per pin, but the TR suffix on SFM-103-02-FM-D-K-TR confirms tape-and-reel packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly. If production volumes exceed 500 pieces and automated placement is required, the TR variant is preferable; SFM-103-T2-STL-D-A-P without the TR suffix is typically supplied in trays or tubes better suited to prototype and low-volume runs.
