Frequently Asked Questions
What is the TIGER EYE contact feature in SFM-105-02-S-D-LC and why does it improve performance?
TIGER EYE is SAMTEC's proprietary stamped contact geometry that creates a multi-point contact interface within the 1.27 mm pitch socket. This design widens the contact engagement zone, lowering contact resistance and improving current-carrying capacity across all 10 positions compared to standard single-point contacts, which is especially beneficial in high-cycle mating applications and environments subject to vibration or thermal cycling.
How does the split board lock on SFM-105-02-S-D-LC secure the connector during operation?
The split board lock (E.L.P) consists of mechanical retention tabs that grip the mated connector pair, preventing accidental unmating under vibration or mechanical shock. For a 10-position, 1.27 mm pitch SMT socket, this is critical in portable instruments, industrial modules, and vehicle-mounted electronics where board-to-board connectors may experience forces of several Newtons that could otherwise dislodge standard SMT connectors without positive locking.
For a 10-signal interface on a compact PCB, how does SFM-105-02-S-D-LC compare to a single-row 10-position 2.54 mm pitch alternative?
The SFM-105-02-S-D-LC uses a dual-row 1.27 mm pitch layout with a body length of only 0.405", saving roughly 60% of board length versus a single-row 10-position 2.54 mm pitch connector spanning approximately 1.0". This makes the SAMTEC SFM option ideal for space-constrained FPGA mezzanine cards, wearable device PCBs, and compact sensor modules where minimizing connector footprint without sacrificing 10-signal capacity is a design priority.
