Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and pin count does the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR offer?
The SFM-108-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR is a 16-position dual-row socket strip with 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch, providing 8 contacts per row. This fine pitch allows high signal density in compact PCB footprints used in portable instrumentation, medical, and industrial embedded applications.
How does the locking mechanism on SFM-108-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR improve reliability in vibration environments?
The integral locking mechanism (LM) latches the mated connector pair together, preventing inadvertent disconnection caused by vibration or mechanical shock. This feature is essential in transportation electronics, factory automation equipment, and ruggedized portable devices where connectors at 1.27 mm pitch must maintain electrical continuity under dynamic mechanical loads.
What are the assembly advantages of using the tape-and-reel version of the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-A-K-TR?
Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging feeds directly into automated pick-and-place machines, eliminating manual handling of these small 1.27 mm pitch connectors and reducing placement errors on SMT production lines. This format supports thousands of components per reel, minimizing reel changeovers and improving throughput during high-volume PCB manufacturing.
