What are the key features of SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR?

  • 8-position dual-row SMT socket strip at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch offering a minimal-footprint fine-pitch interconnect for space-critical PCB designs
  • Gold-plated (A) contacts with L contact length providing low contact resistance and reliable performance over extended mating cycles on high-reliability boards
  • P polarization key combined with tape-and-reel (TR) packaging ensuring orientation-safe mating and automated pick-and-place compatibility for volume production

What is SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR used for?

The SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR is used in compact sensor interface boards, wireless module connections, and low pin-count mezzanine applications where an 8-pin dual-row socket at 0.050 inch pitch provides sufficient signal density in a minimal SMT footprint. It is well-suited for IoT edge devices, medical wearable modules, and precision instrument daughterboards where board area is tightly constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions

For an 8-pin interface at 0.050 inch pitch, what board area does the SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR occupy compared to a 0.100 inch pitch alternative?

At 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 8 positions in a dual-row layout (4 positions per row), the SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR occupies a row length of approximately 3 x 1.27 mm = 3.81 mm, roughly half the 7.62 mm row length of an equivalent 0.100 inch pitch connector. This halved footprint is critical in IoT and wearable designs where every square millimeter of PCB area is budgeted.

Which low-pin-count board-to-board scenarios benefit most from the polarized design of the SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR?

The P polarization key is most valuable in 8-pin interfaces carrying mixed power and signal lines, such as a 3.3 V power pair plus 6 signal lines, where reversing the connector would apply power to signal inputs. In portable medical or industrial sensor modules where field technicians connect daughterboards without using schematics, the physical key prevents 8-pin misconnection that could immediately damage the host board's signal circuits.

How does the gold contact plating (A option) in the SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR affect long-term reliability compared to tin-plated contacts?

Gold plating on the SFM-104-02-L-D-A-P-TR contacts maintains contact resistance below 30 milliohms over 1000 or more mating cycles and resists oxidation in humid or contaminated environments, whereas tin-plated contacts can develop oxide layers that increase contact resistance over time. For 8-pin connectors in high-reliability medical or defense applications, gold plating ensures signal integrity is preserved even at low signal voltages such as 1.8 V LVDS or sub-1 V sensor outputs.
