Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the SFM-104-L2-F-D-A?
The SFM-104-L2-F-D-A uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row arrangement, providing 8 total positions in a compact SMT footprint. This pitch allows high-density interconnect routing in space-constrained PCB designs requiring 4 positions per row.
Which industrial or telecom applications benefit most from the SFM-104-L2-F-D-A socket strip?
This socket strip is ideal for mezzanine card stacking, FPGA daughter-card interfaces, and backplane interconnects operating at signal rates up to several hundred MHz. Its high-reliability gold contacts support thousands of mating cycles, making it suitable for test fixtures, industrial controllers, and 3.3 V or 5 V logic systems.
How does the SFM-104-L2-F-D-A compare to through-hole socket strips for board-to-board connections?
Unlike through-hole alternatives that require hole drilling and wave soldering, the SFM-104-L2-F-D-A uses surface-mount termination compatible with standard reflow ovens operating at 260°C peak temperature. This reduces assembly time and enables placement on both sides of a PCB, saving board space compared to through-hole variants while maintaining electrical performance.
What is the operating temperature range for the SFM-104-L2-F-D-A?
The SFM-104-L2-F-D-A is rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C, consistent with SAMTEC's high-reliability socket strip series. This wide temperature range makes it suitable for automotive-adjacent, industrial, and outdoor telecom deployments subject to large thermal excursions.
