What are the key features of SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC?
- 12-position dual-row socket strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with longer mating length (LM) contacts providing increased normal force and insertion depth for higher reliability mating cycles
- Lead-clearance (LC) body design creates additional clearance beneath the connector body, accommodating PCB traces or vias routed under the component
- High-reliability surface-mount design with gold-plated contacts suitable for repeated mating cycles in test, measurement, and modular embedded applications
What is SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC used for?
The SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC is suited for modular embedded systems, test fixture interfaces, and data acquisition boards where 12 dual-row positions at 0.050" pitch must support frequent mating cycles without contact wear. Its longer mating length contacts provide enhanced retention force and deeper engagement, making it reliable for module swap applications in field-serviceable equipment. The lead-clearance body style frees routing space under the connector, benefiting high-density PCB designs where trace routing beneath the component is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the longer mating length (LM) designation provide for SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC in a module-swap application?
The longer mating length (LM) on SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC increases the pin engagement depth between the socket and the mating pin header, generating higher normal force on the 12 contacts at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This deeper engagement improves resistance to vibration-induced intermittent contact and provides more reliable electrical connections across all 12 positions in module-swap or hot-swap applications where connectors may be cycled dozens to hundreds of times.
How does the lead-clearance (LC) body style of SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC benefit PCB routing in high-density designs?
The lead-clearance (LC) body style of SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC raises the connector body above the PCB surface, creating a gap that allows PCB traces, vias, or copper pours to be routed directly beneath the 12-position, 0.050" pitch footprint. In high-density PCB designs where routing channels are scarce, being able to pass signal traces under the connector body can significantly reduce layer count requirements and improve signal routing efficiency.
For a 12-signal mezzanine interface at 0.050" pitch, how does SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC compare to a standard mating-length SFM socket in terms of durability?
Compared to a standard mating-length SFM socket, the SFM-106-02-LM-D-LC with its longer mating length (LM) contacts maintains reliable electrical contact through more insertion-withdrawal cycles due to the increased contact overlap and normal force across all 12 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. For mezzanine applications where cards are frequently swapped during development or field maintenance, the LM variant is the preferred choice to extend connector service life and reduce the risk of intermittent signal failures from worn contacts.
