Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Tiger Eye contact technology in the SFM-107-02-L-D-LC and how does it benefit signal integrity?
Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's proprietary contact geometry that uses a rounded, eye-shaped opening to engage mating pins along multiple contact points simultaneously, achieving contact resistance typically below 10 milliohms. This multi-point engagement reduces the risk of intermittent connections in the 14-position dual-row socket, making it reliable for high-speed signal lines operating at frequencies up to several gigahertz in board-to-board interconnect applications.
How does the split board lock (LC) option on the SFM-107-02-L-D-LC prevent connector displacement in vibrating environments?
The split board lock (LC) consists of two press-fit retention tabs that extend into plated through-holes on either side of the connector body, providing a mechanical retention force that supplements solder joint strength. In industrial environments with vibration levels exceeding 10 g, this feature prevents the connector from lifting off the PCB pads, maintaining the solder joint integrity across all 14 positions of the dual-row socket.
What PCB footprint dimensions should designers plan for when placing the SFM-107-02-L-D-LC?
The SFM-107-02-L-D-LC has a body length of 0.505 inch, body depth of 0.185 inch, and body breadth of 0.145 inch. Designers should add pad extension and courtyard clearance according to SAMTEC's recommended land pattern, typically requiring a keep-out zone of approximately 0.6 inch by 0.3 inch on the PCB to allow for solder paste stencil apertures and adjacent component spacing in high-density layouts.
Is the SFM-107-02-L-D-LC compatible with lead-free soldering processes used in RoHS-compliant assembly lines?
Yes, the SFM-107-02-L-D-LC is RoHS compliant and uses a tin-over-nickel (Sn/Ni) termination finish that is fully compatible with lead-free SAC305 solder paste and reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds. The connector body material is rated for this thermal excursion, making it suitable for automated SMT assembly lines that process boards at standard lead-free reflow temperatures without requiring special handling.
