What are the key features of SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR?
- 16-position dual-row socket on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling ultra-compact board-to-board mating
- High-reliability contact system with metal locking hardware (K option) for secure mating retention
- Surface mount (SM) termination compatible with standard reflow soldering for automated assembly
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting high-volume pick-and-place production at precise tolerances
What is SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR used for?
The SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR is ideal for compact mezzanine and module interconnects in embedded computing, aerospace, and medical devices where 16-pin dual-row connectivity at 1.27 mm pitch is required. Its high-reliability contact design and locking retention make it suitable for applications subject to vibration or mechanical stress. The surface mount format enables integration in dense multilayer PCB designs with automated soldering processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR provide, and what contact pitch does it use?
The SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR is a 16-position dual-row socket strip with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) center-to-center contact pitch. This fine pitch enables high-density interconnects in space-constrained PCB designs, making it compatible with SAMTEC TSM, TSW, and SSM series mating headers of the same 1.27 mm pitch.
For avionics or industrial equipment subject to vibration, how does the K (locking) option in SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR help maintain reliable connectivity?
The K locking hardware on the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR adds a metal retention mechanism that holds the mating connector securely under mechanical shock and continuous vibration, preventing intermittent contact opens. This feature is critical in avionics, automotive, and industrial motor-drive systems where G-forces up to several dozen g can act on unlatched connectors, causing signal dropouts across all 16 positions.
Why is the 0.050" pitch of the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR preferred over a 0.100" pitch socket in high-density PCB layouts?
A 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch socket like the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR occupies roughly half the PCB footprint of an equivalent 0.100" pitch connector for the same 16-pin count. In designs where routing space is under 5 mm between connectors, the finer pitch allows additional signal traces to run between pads, reducing layer count and overall board size compared to a 2.54 mm pitch alternative.
Can the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR be used in high-volume SMT production, and how does its tape-and-reel packaging help?
Yes, the TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging that feeds directly into automated pick-and-place machines, enabling placement rates of hundreds of parts per hour with positional accuracy within ±0.05 mm. Combined with the SMT pads, the SFM-108-T2-LM-D-K-TR passes through standard reflow ovens at peak temperatures up to 260°C, making it fully compatible with lead-free solder profiles used in high-volume electronics manufacturing.
