Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 0.050" pitch of the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR affect board layout density?

At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR offers twice the contact density compared to standard 0.100" pitch connectors. The 18-position dual-row arrangement fits 36 contacts in the footprint that a 0.100" single-row 18-pin connector would occupy, significantly reducing connector PCB area in compact designs such as FPGA daughter cards or embedded communication modules.

For a ruggedized military electronics system, which features of the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR support reliable operation?

The SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR incorporates polarized mating (P suffix) to prevent mis-insertion, and its high-reliability construction supports thousands of mating cycles. The dual-row 18-position configuration at 0.050" pitch keeps connector mass low, reducing stress on solder joints in vibration environments. Surface mount termination (T2) produces reflow-solderable joints suitable for military-grade board assemblies.

When should a designer choose the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR over a higher-pitch socket strip?

Designers should select the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR when 18 dual-row positions must fit within a constrained PCB area that a 0.100" pitch connector cannot accommodate. At 0.050" pitch, the connector body is approximately half the length of a 0.100" equivalent. This trade-off is appropriate for portable instrumentation, telecom line cards, and compact processor modules where PCB area is at a premium.

What does the tape-and-reel (TR) packaging mean for SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR procurement in volume?

Tape-and-reel packaging allows the SFM-109-T2-S-D-A-P-TR to be fed directly into automated pick-and-place machines at typical reel quantities of 250 to 2000 pieces per reel. This reduces per-unit handling cost, improves placement consistency, and eliminates manual loading at the SMT line. Volume buyers should verify minimum order quantity and reel count with distributors to optimize procurement economics.
