What are the key features of SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR?
- 12 positions in a compact dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, minimizing PCB real estate for small-form-factor modules
- Gold-plated contacts (K option) delivering reliable low-resistance connections over hundreds of mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) format enabling direct pick-and-place loading for high-throughput SMT assembly lines
What is SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR used for?
The SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR is suited for compact board-to-board interconnects on IoT sensor nodes, wearable devices, and small embedded modules where 12 signals must pass through a 1.27 mm pitch socket with minimal footprint. Its gold contact finish also makes it attractive for test sockets and portable instrumentation that require repeated mating without degradation.

Frequently Asked Questions
For a wearable device PCB, how much board space does the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR occupy compared to a 2.54 mm pitch alternative?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 12 positions across 2 rows, the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR requires a mating zone of approximately 6 x 2.54 mm, roughly half the footprint of an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch 12-position connector. This space reduction is significant for wearable PCBs where every square millimeter is contested.
How does the gold contact finish on the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR affect its suitability for high-cycle test fixture use?
The gold-plated K-option contacts of the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR maintain stable contact resistance below a few milliohms even after hundreds of mating cycles, far outlasting tin-plated alternatives in repeated-insertion scenarios. This makes the 12-position socket a reliable choice for functional test fixtures where boards are inserted and removed frequently during QA.
Can the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR be used in a reflow soldering process, and what reflow temperature should designers plan for?
Yes, the SFM-106-L2-L-D-K-TR uses surface-mount termination compatible with standard SMT reflow processes up to 260°C peak temperature per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. Tape-and-reel packaging allows it to feed directly into pick-and-place machines, so the 12-position socket can be assembled in the same reflow pass as all other SMT components without any additional hand-soldering steps.
