Frequently Asked Questions
What contact material and finish make the SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P suitable for high-reliability applications?
SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P uses beryllium copper female contacts plated with gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin). Beryllium copper provides superior spring force retention over many mating cycles, while the thick gold finish ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance in demanding military, medical, or aerospace environments.
How does the polarized feature of SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P reduce assembly defects?
The polarized housing on SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P physically prevents insertion in the incorrect orientation, eliminating reverse-mating errors during PCB assembly. This is especially valuable in compact 12-position, 0.050" pitch dual-row layouts where misorientation could damage sensitive circuits or cause intermittent connections.
When would a designer choose SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P over a standard 0.100" pitch socket for a compact PCB design?
When board real estate is limited, the 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of SFM-106-02-L-D-A-P provides the same 12-position dual-row connectivity in approximately half the length of a 0.100" pitch equivalent. This makes it preferable for dense mezzanine boards, medical devices, or military avionics modules where minimizing connector footprint is a design priority.
