What are the key features of SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K?

  • 10-position dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with Tiger Eye contact technology for enhanced normal force and low-resistance mating
  • 10 micro-inch gold (Au) plating on mating contacts ensures reliable, corrosion-resistant connections across hundreds of mating cycles
  • Positioning pin (board mounting option) guarantees accurate placement of the 0.375-inch body on high-density PCBs during assembly

What is SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K used for?

The SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K is designed for high-density mezzanine and board-to-board socket applications in medical devices, aerospace electronics, and precision instrumentation where contact reliability is critical. The Tiger Eye contact geometry delivers higher normal force than standard stamped contacts, ensuring stable low-resistance connections across 10 dual-row positions even after repeated mating cycles. Its compact 0.375-inch body and positioning pin allow accurate SMT placement on densely populated PCBs without manual alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tiger Eye contact feature in the SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K, and why does it matter?

Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's proprietary contact geometry that increases the normal force applied to the mating pin at each of the 10 dual-row positions. Higher normal force reduces contact resistance and maintains reliable electrical connections across more mating cycles compared to standard stamped contacts. Combined with 10 micro-inch gold plating, it is particularly valuable in medical and aerospace applications requiring thousands of reliable insertions.

How does the SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K positioning pin aid PCB assembly accuracy?

The positioning pin on the SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K registers the 0.375-inch connector body into corresponding holes on the PCB before soldering, ensuring the 10 dual-row contacts align precisely to their 0.050-inch pitch pads. This eliminates rotation or shift during reflow soldering, which is especially important for fine-pitch SMT connectors where even small misalignment can cause open or bridged solder joints.

In which demanding application environments does the SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K outperform standard socket strips?

The SFM-105-02-L-D-A-K outperforms standard socket strips in medical instrumentation, mil-aero electronics, and high-cycle test fixtures where its Tiger Eye contacts and 10 micro-inch gold plating on 10 dual-row positions must maintain contact resistance well below 50 milliohms across hundreds to thousands of mating cycles. Its compact 0.050-inch pitch and 0.375-inch body also suit space-constrained wearable medical and portable communications designs.
