SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P SAMTEC Connector (Other) In Stock
SAMTEC SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P is a 12-position dual-row surface-mount socket strip with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, flush F-series mated stack height, and gold-plated A-P contacts. Designed for high-reliability compact board-to-board stacking, it provides 500+ cycle durability without tape-and-reel packaging for prototype and low-volume use.

What are the key features of SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P?
- 12-position dual-row (2 x 6) at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for minimal-footprint 12-circuit board-to-board connections
- Flush F-series mated stack height achieves the lowest possible profile at approximately 3.5 mm above the PCB
- Gold-plated A-P contacts sustain contact resistance below 30 mΩ through over 500 mate-unmate cycles
- Non-TR format available for prototype and small-batch builds without full tape-and-reel tooling requirements
What is SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P used for?
The SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P is ideal for ultra-compact 12-circuit board-to-board stacks in sensor fusion modules, miniature RF front-ends, and wearable device PCBs where connector footprint must remain under 8 mm in length at 0.050" pitch. Its flush stack height keeps mated board-to-board clearance near 3.5 mm, enabling slim form-factor assemblies targeted at enclosures with under 6 mm internal height. Gold-plated contacts make it a reliable choice for removable daughtercards and test adapter boards requiring repeated mating without contact degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total position count and board footprint length of the SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P?
The SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P provides 12 total positions in a 2 x 6 dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, resulting in a connector body length of approximately 7.6 mm. This is one of the smallest 12-circuit SMT dual-row options in the Samtec SFM series, making it ideal for miniature sensor modules and RF front-end boards with footprint constraints under 10 mm.
What mated stack height does the F-series flush mount achieve, and how does it compare to the H-series on the same SFM platform?
The F-series flush mount achieves a mated stack height of approximately 3.5 mm above the PCB, which is roughly 1 mm to 1.5 mm lower than the H-series variant's 4 mm to 5 mm profile. This difference is significant in wearable and IoT sensor enclosures where the internal PCB cavity is constrained to 5 mm to 6 mm, leaving less than 0.5 mm of tolerance for component height deviation.
For a removable sensor daughtercard mated hundreds of times in a lab calibration setup, how do the gold A-P contacts perform?
The A-P gold plating sustains contact resistance below 30 mΩ through over 500 mate-unmate cycles, maintaining signal integrity on 3.3 V logic and 1.8 V analog reference lines even after repeated insertions. Tin alternatives degrade past 50 mΩ within 50 cycles due to fretting corrosion, making the gold-plated SFM-106 A-P variant the correct choice for calibration rigs that cycle boards 5 to 10 times per day.
How does the non-TR packaging of SFM-106-L2-F-D-A-P suit prototype or small-volume orders compared to the TR variant?
The non-TR bulk or strip packaging allows ordering in quantities as low as 10 to 100 pieces without paying the tape-and-reel minimum-order surcharge, which typically adds 200 to 500 pieces to the minimum quantity. This is advantageous for engineering prototype runs building 5 to 50 boards, where hand-placement or semi-automated assembly is used rather than full SMT lines requiring 8 mm reel feeders.
