What are the key features of SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P?
- 12-position dual-row SMT socket strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivering 12 signals in a minimal PCB footprint
- High reliability gold-plated contacts for low contact resistance and extended mating cycle durability
- Surface mount termination style simplifies PCB layout and supports reflow soldering for efficient production
- Dual-row design doubles pin density versus single-row strips of equivalent length
What is SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P used for?
The SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P is used in compact board-to-board and module-to-backplane interconnect applications in industrial, medical, and instrumentation electronics where 12 signal lines must be routed through a 0.050" pitch interface. Its dual-row surface mount format fits in small form-factor designs where space is at a premium. The high reliability contact rating makes it suitable for telecom equipment and test systems requiring stable connectivity over many mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts does the SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P provide and what is the contact pitch?
The SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P provides 12 total contacts arranged in 2 rows with 6 contacts per row, on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact dual-row configuration spans approximately 7.62 mm along the contact row direction, making it one of the smaller socket strip options in the SFM family for applications needing 12 signal positions.
In what types of industrial or embedded designs is the SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P a good fit?
The SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P is well-suited for daughter-card connectors in compact embedded modules, FPGA expansion headers, and industrial sensor interface boards where 12 signals must be routed at 0.050" pitch. The high reliability designation makes it appropriate for automation controllers and instrumentation equipment that require contact resistance below 20 milliohms over hundreds of mating cycles and temperature ranges from -55°C to +125°C.
What is the difference between the SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P and a tape-and-reel variant for production use?
The SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P is supplied in strip or tray packaging rather than tape-and-reel, which means it is typically used in manual or semi-automated assembly processes. For fully automated pick-and-place SMT lines processing more than 500 boards per day, a tape-and-reel (-TR) variant of the SFM series is preferred as it feeds directly into standard 0.050"-pitch component feeders without operator intervention.
How does the dual-row layout of the SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P compare to a single-row 12-position connector in PCB area usage?
The dual-row layout of the SFM-106-L2-S-D-A-P halves the connector's linear length compared to a single-row 12-position strip at the same 0.050" pitch. A single-row 12-position connector at 0.050" pitch would span approximately 13.97 mm in one direction, whereas the dual-row SFM-106 spans only about 7.62 mm, saving roughly 6 mm of PCB length and reducing the required routing channel width for 12 signal traces.
