What are the key features of SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR?
- 18 dual-row positions at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch for high-density mezzanine interconnects
- T2 contact tail and polarization key (K) for accurate alignment and secure engagement in high-reliability assemblies
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supporting automated SMT pick-and-place production at scale
What is SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR used for?
SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR serves high-reliability board-to-board and mezzanine stacking applications in aerospace, defense, and industrial instrumentation. The polarization key prevents misorientation of the 36-contact interface, protecting sensitive signal and power lines during assembly and maintenance. The 1.27 mm pitch allows integration in compact multilayer PCB stacks where standard 2.54 mm connectors would exceed the available footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
What role does the polarization key (K) play in SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR for a 36-contact dual-row assembly?
The K designation on SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR adds a polarization key that physically prevents incorrect 180-degree mating of the 36-contact, dual-row connector. Without keying, misalignment at 1.27 mm pitch is easy to miss visually, and an incorrect connection could damage up to 18 signal or power pins per row simultaneously in test or field maintenance scenarios.
How does SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR's 0.050 inch pitch improve density versus SFM connectors at 2.54 mm pitch?
At 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR fits 18 dual-row positions within approximately 23 mm of row length, compared to roughly 46 mm for an equivalent 2.54 mm pitch part. This roughly 2x reduction in footprint is critical for compact processor modules, FPGA daughter cards, and high-density instrument PCBs where every square millimeter matters.
For which procurement scenario is the tape-and-reel (-TR) version of SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR preferred over cut-strip packaging?
The TR (tape-and-reel) variant of SFM-109-T2-H-D-A-K-TR is the appropriate choice when production volume exceeds a few hundred units per run and the SMT line uses automated pick-and-place equipment. At volumes below 50 to 100 units or during prototyping, cut-strip or tray packaging avoids the minimum tape-and-reel order quantity, typically 1000 to 3000 pieces per reel.
