What are the key features of SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P?
- 12 positions at ultra-fine 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling very high signal density in compact PCB designs
- Short-tail low-profile (STL) housing minimizes board-to-board mating height for slim stacked assemblies
- High-reliability socket design with gold-plated contacts rated for extended mating cycles
- Dual-row configuration on standard 0.050" grid compatible with SFM/TSM-series mating headers
What is SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P used for?
The SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P is designed for fine-pitch mezzanine card interconnects, high-density FPGA daughter boards, and compact communication modules where 12-position dual-row 0.050" pitch sockets are required on space-constrained PCBs. Its short-tail low-profile construction supports tightly stacked board assemblies in aerospace, instrumentation, and high-speed data acquisition systems. The surface mount attachment allows placement on both PCB sides without through-hole drilling, simplifying multilayer board design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.050" pitch of SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P compare to standard 0.100" connectors in terms of PCB density?
The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of the SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P provides twice the contact density per linear millimeter compared to standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connectors. For 12 positions in a dual-row layout, this results in a footprint roughly half the length of an equivalent 0.100" connector, enabling higher signal counts per unit area on fine-pitch PCB designs.
Which mating connectors are compatible with the SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P socket strip?
The SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P mates with SAMTEC TSM-series and SFM-series header strips on the same 0.050" dual-row footprint. Corresponding headers such as TSM-106-series at the same pitch provide a 12-position plug-and-socket pair rated for over 200 mating cycles, supporting modular board-to-board assembly in test fixtures and reconfigurable embedded systems.
What temperature range does the SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P support in industrial applications?
The SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P is rated for an operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for industrial automation, automotive, and defense electronics that experience wide thermal excursions. The gold-plated contacts maintain contact resistance below 20 milliohms across this temperature range, ensuring reliable signal integrity across all 12 positions.
For a space-critical avionics PCB, what advantage does the STL housing of SFM-106-02-STL-D-A-P provide?
The Short-Tail Low-profile (STL) housing reduces the connector's mated height above the PCB, typically achieving less than 4 mm total stack height when mated with a matching header. This allows avionic LRUs and embedded compute cards with strict height budgets to incorporate 12-position dual-row 0.050" connectivity without violating chassis clearance constraints.
