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

  • 8-position dual-row (4 pins per row) socket at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for ultra-compact SMT board interconnects
  • Low-clearance (LC) design minimizes stacking height for applications with tight vertical board spacing requirements
  • STL (straight lead) surface mount termination for clean, precise solder attachment in automated reflow assembly
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging and high-reliability construction for consistent automated production and long service life

What is SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR used for?

The SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR is ideal for compact PCB-to-PCB interconnect applications in wearable electronics, handheld instruments, and small form-factor embedded systems where minimal stacking height and a tiny 8-pin footprint are critical. Its low-clearance design is particularly valuable in enclosure-constrained products where board-to-board spacing must be minimized without sacrificing signal reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and rows does the SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR provide, and what is its contact pitch?

The SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR provides 8 total positions arranged in 2 rows of 4 contacts each, with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) contact pitch. Despite its small 8-position count, the dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch enables a very compact SMT footprint for dense board-to-board connections in space-constrained embedded and wearable designs.

What does the LC suffix mean for the SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR, and why is it important for stacked PCB designs?

The LC suffix in SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR stands for Low Clearance, indicating a reduced overall connector height compared to standard SFM variants. This low-profile design is critical in board-to-board stacking configurations where the mechanical gap between PCBs is constrained to just a few millimeters, enabling tighter Z-axis integration in compact embedded systems and handheld instruments.

In which compact electronics applications is the SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR most commonly used?

The SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR is used in wearable electronics, compact IoT modules, and small-form-factor sensor boards where only 8 pins at 0.050" pitch are needed for board-to-board communication. The combination of 4 signals per row, 1.27 mm pitch, and low-clearance profile makes it especially well-suited for space-critical designs such as body-worn medical devices and miniaturized industrial sensors.

When would an engineer choose the SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR over a larger SFM connector with more positions?

Choose the SFM-104-02-STL-D-LC-TR when your interface requires only 8 signals at 0.050" pitch in the smallest possible surface mount footprint with minimal stacking height. Upsizing to a larger SFM connector would waste board space and increase connector cost when the design needs just 4 data or power lines per row, such as in a simple SPI, I2C, or 4-wire power interface on a compact PCB.
