What are the key features of SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR?
- 12 contacts in compact dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for minimal PCB footprint interconnects
- High-reliability construction with gold-plated contacts resists corrosion and ensures low-resistance mating over thousands of cycles
- Surface mount, tape-and-reel packaging enables automated SMT pick-and-place assembly in production environments
- Low-profile L2 variant provides reduced mated stack height ideal for thin or densely stacked PCB assemblies
What is SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR used for?
The SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR is suited for compact board-to-board and mezzanine card interconnect applications where a 12-pin dual-row, 0.050" pitch socket is required in minimal PCB area. It is commonly used in embedded sensor modules, wearable electronics, and small form-factor computing platforms. The low-profile design makes it particularly valuable in portable medical devices and industrial wireless nodes where height is tightly constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions
How compact is the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR, and what does the L2 designation indicate?
The SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR has 12 contacts arranged in dual-row formation on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, giving it one of the smallest footprints in the SFM socket family. The L2 designation specifies a low-profile mating height, reducing the stacked board-to-board height compared to standard mating configurations, which is critical for applications with a PCB stack height budget under 5 mm.
Can the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR be assembled using standard automated SMT equipment?
Yes, the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR is a surface mount device supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) format, fully compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly lines. The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch footprint can be processed through standard SMT reflow profiles up to 260°C, matching IPC-J-STD-020 requirements for lead-free solder paste commonly used in production electronics manufacturing.
In which embedded or compact designs is the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR most appropriate?
This socket strip is most appropriate in embedded sensor modules, small-form-factor processor boards, and wearable or portable electronics where a low pin-count (12 pins) dual-row interconnect is needed in minimal space. Medical wearables requiring 3.3 V I2C or SPI buses with fewer than 12 signals, and industrial wireless nodes routing control and power over a compact mezzanine interface, are typical deployment scenarios.
How does the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR's 0.050" pitch benefit signal routing compared to 0.100" alternatives?
The 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch of the SFM-106-L2-FM-D-LC-TR reduces the connector footprint by approximately 50% per row compared to 0.100" pitch alternatives, freeing PCB area for additional components or routing channels. For a 12-position dual-row connector, this translates to a body length of roughly 7 mm versus 14 mm at 0.100" pitch, a significant saving in wearable or handheld product enclosures.
