What are the key features of SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC?

  • 8-position dual-row socket strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, providing 16 contacts in an ultra-compact SMT footprint
  • High-reliability (HR) grade construction with female-male (FM) contact interface for secure board-to-board mating in demanding environments
  • Low-clearance (LC) design minimizes the board-to-board stack height, enabling tight PCB sandwich configurations in space-constrained assemblies

What is SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC used for?

The SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC is optimized for high-reliability defense, aerospace, and medical electronics applications where dense 0.050" pitch SMT socket strips must interconnect two PCBs with minimal stack height. Its 16-contact dual-row configuration handles both signal and low-power lines in processor daughtercard and memory module assemblies. The low-clearance architecture is especially valuable in multi-board stack-ups found in avionics, portable medical monitors, and rugged embedded computing platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and total contact count does the SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC provide for SMT board-to-board connections?

The SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 8 positions in a dual-row layout, delivering 16 total contacts in a surface-mount package. This fine pitch allows high-density signal routing between two PCBs within a very compact footprint, suitable for aerospace and medical electronics with strict space budgets.

How does the low-clearance (LC) feature of the SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC benefit multi-board stack-up designs?

The low-clearance design of the SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC minimizes the vertical distance between mated PCBs, reducing the total stack height compared to standard board-to-board socket strips at 0.050" pitch. This is critical in avionics and portable medical devices where enclosure depth is tightly constrained and every millimeter of board separation translates directly into product volume.

Is the SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC suitable for high-cycle-count applications such as daughter card swaps in test systems?

The SFM-104-02-FM-D-LC is built to a high-reliability (HR) grade, incorporating contact materials and finishes engineered to maintain stable resistance over repeated insertions and removals. At 0.050" pitch with 16 contacts, it supports the repeated daughter card swaps typical in automated test equipment and modular instrumentation without significant degradation in contact integrity or signal quality.
