What are the key features of SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P?

  • 8-position dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch for compact high-density SMT signal interconnect
  • High-reliability gold-plated contacts ensuring stable low-resistance mating across thousands of insertion cycles
  • Surface-mount termination style compatible with automated reflow soldering and standard SMT assembly processes
  • Dual-row configuration provides 8 contacts in a space-efficient footprint shorter than a single-row 8-pin alternative
  • No tape-and-reel suffix (non-TR) suited for prototype, low-volume, or hand-assembly applications

What is SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P used for?

The SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P is used in compact board-to-board interconnect designs such as FPGA mezzanine cards, sensor interface modules, and prototype development boards where only 8 signals need to be routed in a 1.27 mm pitch SMT footprint. Its high-reliability construction makes it a strong fit for industrial, aerospace, and defense electronics where connector durability over repeated mating cycles is essential. The non-tape-and-reel format suits prototyping and low-to-medium volume production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions and at what pitch are the contacts in the SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P socket strip?

The SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P provides 8 contact positions arranged in a dual-row format at a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, giving 4 contacts per row. This fine pitch allows very compact PCB footprints compared to standard 2.54 mm pitch alternatives, making it ideal for space-constrained embedded and mezzanine card interconnect designs.

Why would an engineer select the SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P over a standard 2.54 mm pitch socket strip for a low-pin-count interface?

The SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P uses a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch that occupies roughly half the PCB length of an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch connector carrying the same 8 signals. This makes it the preferred choice when board real estate is limited, such as in miniature sensor modules, wearable electronics, or compact FPGA mezzanine designs where saving even a few millimetres of board edge matters.

What reliability features make the SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P suitable for defense or industrial applications?

The SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P is rated as a high-reliability connector with gold-plated contacts that maintain low contact resistance below 20 milliohms across extended mating cycles. Samtec's high-reliability socket strip series meets requirements for industrial and defense electronics, supporting applications such as ruggedized avionics modules, military field equipment, and industrial PLCs that experience vibration and thermal cycling over the product lifetime.

Is the SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly, and does it come in tape-and-reel format?

The SFM-104-L2-H-D-A-P uses surface-mount termination compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering at 1.27 mm pitch, making it suitable for automated PCB assembly. However, this variant does not carry a TR suffix, so it is packaged in trays or tubes rather than tape-and-reel, making it best suited for prototyping, engineering samples, or low-to-medium volume production runs of up to a few thousand units.
