What are the key features of SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR?
- 12-position dual-row layout on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch providing 6 contacts per row in a minimal PCB footprint
- High-reliability socket strip construction for extended insertion cycles in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications
- Surface-mount form factor with stacking hardware (STL) enabling controlled board-to-board separation heights
- Tape-and-reel packaging for automated SMT pick-and-place compatible with 260 °C lead-free reflow profiles
What is SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR used for?
The SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR is designed for space-constrained board-to-board mating in applications such as small-form-factor avionics modules, wearable medical devices, and compact industrial sensor nodes requiring reliable 12-pin interconnect on a 0.050" pitch. Its stacking hardware maintains precise board separation to control impedance and mechanical alignment in mated assemblies. The high-reliability construction ensures consistent electrical contact over thousands of mate/unmate cycles in vibration-prone or thermally cycled environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact count and pitch does the SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR provide, and how does this compare to 0.100" alternatives?
The SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR provides 12 contacts arranged 2×6 on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This is half the pitch of standard 0.100" connectors, so the same 12 contacts occupy roughly 8 mm of connector length versus 16 mm on 0.100" pitch, which is a significant advantage for compact PCB layouts in portable or miniaturized electronics where every millimeter of board space is critical.
How does the STL stacking hardware in the SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR affect board-to-board assembly?
The STL (stacking) hardware maintains a defined separation between the two mated PCBs, typically 2 mm to 8 mm depending on the selected stack height, which helps control signal integrity by keeping trace lengths predictable and provides mechanical rigidity against lateral board movement. This is particularly useful in vibration-prone environments such as automotive engine-bay modules or industrial motor controllers that must survive 5 g to 20 g vibration loads over extended operational lifetimes.
Is the SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR suitable for high-reliability or qualified military-grade circuit board applications?
Yes. SAMTEC's SFM high-reliability series is built to withstand temperature cycling from -55 °C to +125 °C and is designed for multiple insertion cycles in demanding environments. The surface-mount construction with controlled gold-plated contacts meets the electrical performance requirements of MIL-grade interconnect specifications, making the SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR a viable choice for defense electronics, satellite subsystems, and other programs that mandate high insertion-retention force and low contact resistance below 20 mΩ.
What is the procurement advantage of ordering the SFM-106-T2-STL-D-K-TR in tape-and-reel format?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix means the connector ships on a continuous reel, typically 100 to 500 pieces per reel, enabling uninterrupted automated SMT pick-and-place runs without operator reload stops. This reduces assembly cycle time per board and minimizes handling damage to the fine 0.050" pitch contacts compared to bulk or cut-tape packaging, which is especially important in production builds of 500 to 10,000 units where placement accuracy and yield are closely monitored.
