What are the key features of SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR?
- 12-position dual-row layout at 0.050" pitch enabling compact high-density signal routing in small PCB areas
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging optimized for automated pick-and-place SMT production lines
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides superior normal force and reliable gas-tight electrical connections
- Low-clearance (LC) design allows mating with reduced vertical stack height for space-constrained applications
- Dual-row surface mount configuration eliminates through-hole drilling and streamlines PCB manufacturing
What is SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR used for?
The SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine card interconnects, small form-factor computing modules, and compact instrumentation boards requiring 12 reliable signal connections at 0.050" pitch. Its low-clearance dual-row design is particularly valuable in layered PCB assemblies where vertical space is limited to a few millimeters. The tape-and-reel format makes it well-suited for high-volume automated SMT production in consumer electronics and industrial control devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR provide, and how are they arranged?
The SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR provides 12 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 6 contacts per row. This compact dual-row layout enables reliable signal routing for small interface headers on mezzanine cards, processor modules, and embedded boards where minimizing connector footprint is essential.
What does the LC suffix mean in SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR, and how does it affect stacking height?
The LC suffix in SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR designates a low-clearance variant, meaning the mated stack height between two boards is reduced compared to standard SFM connectors. This low-profile mating design is critical for compact layered assemblies where the vertical board-to-board gap must be kept under a few millimeters, such as in portable instruments and embedded computer modules with tight 5 mm to 8 mm inter-board spacing.
Is the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR supplied in tape-and-reel format, and what production volumes does this support?
Yes, the TR suffix confirms that the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel format, which is compatible with standard automated pick-and-place SMT assembly lines. Tape-and-reel packaging supports production runs from hundreds to tens of thousands of units per reel, making this 12-position connector well-suited for medium to high-volume manufacturing without manual placement overhead.
What contact technology does the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR use, and what reliability benefits does it offer?
The SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR uses SAMTEC's Tiger Eye contact technology, which provides an elevated normal contact force compared to standard stamped contacts. This results in a gas-tight mating interface that resists oxidation and maintains low contact resistance over many mating cycles. The design is validated for harsh operating environments with temperature ranges of -55°C to +125°C, suitable for industrial and defense electronics applications.
How does the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR compare to a through-hole dual-row header for a compact PCB design?
Unlike through-hole headers that require board drilling and wave soldering, the SFM-106-T2-F-D-LC-TR is a surface mount connector that can be placed and reflowed using standard SMT processes. This reduces PCB layer stackup complexity and enables the 12 positions at 0.050" pitch to be placed on either side of the board, offering greater layout flexibility and a smaller minimum footprint compared to equivalent through-hole dual-row solutions.
