Key Features
- 14-position dual-row SMT socket strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch providing high-density surface-mount receptacle connections
- High-reliability friction-mate (FM) contact design delivering consistent engagement force and resistance below 20 mΩ over 500+ mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling automated pick-and-place assembly at production rates exceeding 5,000 placements per hour
- Dual-row configuration routing 14 signals in a compact footprint suited for daughter-card and module attachment in miniaturized systems
Applications
The SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR is designed for high-reliability SMT socket applications in ruggedized embedded computing modules, avionics interface cards, and industrial sensor boards where consistent 14-position electrical contact integrity is required across repeated mating cycles. Its friction-mate contact retention ensures secure signal paths in vibration-prone environments such as robotics controllers and automotive ECU daughter cards. The tape-and-reel packaging format makes it well-suited for high-volume automated PCB assembly in consumer electronics, telecommunications modules, and medical monitoring devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the friction-mate contact design in SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR maintain reliable connections in high-vibration environments?
The friction-mate (FM) contact system in the SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR generates a controlled normal force against the mating header pins through spring-loaded contacts rated for consistent engagement across 500 or more mating cycles, maintaining contact resistance below 20 mΩ even under continuous vibration exceeding 20 G. This makes it suitable for 14-position signal routing in robotics, automotive electronics, and aerospace avionics where standard press-fit or zero-insertion-force sockets would loosen under mechanical stress.
For a compact SMT PCB, how much board area does the 14-position SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR require compared to a 0.100" pitch alternative?
The SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch occupies approximately 50% less board area than an equivalent 14-position socket at 0.100" pitch, fitting all 14 dual-row positions within a footprint roughly 9 mm long by 3 mm wide. This compactness is essential in miniaturized modules such as IoT sensor nodes, wearable medical devices, and compact FPGA daughter cards where board dimensions are constrained to under 30 mm on the connector side.
What mating header connectors are compatible with the SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR socket strip?
The SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR mates with SAMTEC's SHF, TFM, and compatible 0.050" pitch header series, accepting square-pin headers with pin sizes of 0.025" x 0.025" at the standard 1.27 mm dual-row pattern. The 14-position dual-row layout is cross-compatible with headers from the industry-standard 0.050" grid, allowing system designers to source mating headers from multiple qualified manufacturers to reduce supply-chain single-source dependency.
When is SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR preferred over a lower-cost non-high-reliability SMT socket for module design?
The SFM-107-T2-FM-D-K-TR is chosen over standard SMT sockets when the application requires guaranteed contact integrity across more than 100 mating cycles, operating temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, or environments subject to humidity exceeding 85% RH. In production test fixtures that mate and unmate a 14-position module board thousands of times during quality inspection, the high-reliability friction-mate contacts reduce connector replacement frequency and the associated downtime cost by maintaining sub-20 mΩ contact resistance throughout the connector's rated service life.
