Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pitch and row configuration of the SFM-106-T2-L-D-A-P connector?
The SFM-106-T2-L-D-A-P features a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout with 12 total positions, providing a compact high-density interconnect solution. This configuration allows up to 6 positions per row within a very small PCB footprint of approximately 7.62 mm in length.
Which PCB assembly processes are compatible with the SFM-106-T2-L-D-A-P surface-mount connector?
This connector uses a surface-mount termination style, making it fully compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes at peak temperatures up to 260°C. It is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly lines, enabling high-volume production with consistent solder joint quality across all 12 contacts.
When should a designer choose the SFM-106-T2-L-D-A-P over a through-hole socket strip?
Designers should choose this surface-mount socket strip when PCB real estate is limited and board-side height must remain below 3 mm, as SMT connectors eliminate the need for drilled through-holes. The SFM series also supports finer 1.27 mm pitch than many through-hole alternatives, enabling 12 contacts in a significantly smaller mounting area.
What mating connector is recommended for use with the SFM-106-T2-L-D-A-P?
SAMTEC's SFM series socket strips mate with corresponding SFM or TFM series plug connectors also built on the 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch standard. Proper mate selection ensures gold-to-gold contact engagement across all 12 positions, maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ throughout the connector's rated lifecycle.
