Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tiger Eye contact in SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR superior to standard socket contacts?
The Tiger Eye contact in SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR generates higher normal contact force compared to standard stamped contacts, resulting in more stable low-resistance connections. Combined with 30 micro-inch gold plating, it maintains reliable electrical performance across hundreds of mating cycles and in environments with vibration or thermal cycling between -55°C and +125°C.
How does the 1.27 mm pitch of SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR compare to standard 2.54 mm headers for dense PCB designs?
The 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch of SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR is half the spacing of standard 2.54 mm pitch headers, allowing a 12-position dual-row connector in a body footprint of only 0.375 × 0.145 inches. This high-density configuration frees up to 50% more PCB area compared to equivalent 2.54 mm connectors, critical for compact aerospace and computing modules.
For high-volume production, what packaging options are available for SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR?
SFM-106-02-S-D-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) packaging, directly compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place equipment and reflow soldering processes. The peg board mounting feature holds the connector in position during solder reflow, achieving consistent placement accuracy within 0.1 mm. Standard factory lead time is approximately 4 weeks for volume orders.
