Key Features
- 28-position dual-row SMT socket strip on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density board-to-board signal routing in compact modules
- Flush (F) contact variant delivers an ultra-low mating height profile ideal for board stackup designs with tight z-axis clearance
- High reliability gold-plated contacts ensure contact resistance below 20 milliohms for stable performance over thousands of mating cycles
- Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place SMT production at high assembly throughput
Applications
The SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR is well-suited for ultra-low-profile daughter-card sockets, mezzanine module connectors, and compact embedded system interfaces where 28 signals must cross a board boundary at 0.050" pitch with minimal board separation. Its flush contact design is especially useful in stacked PCB assemblies with less than 3 mm of inter-board clearance, commonly found in wearable electronics, portable instruments, and miniaturized industrial sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal positions does the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR provide and what pitch does it use?
The SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR provides 28 total signal positions arranged in 2 rows of 14 contacts each, at a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The 14-contact row spans approximately 16.51 mm in length along the connector, delivering 28 signals in a compact SMT footprint that is roughly half the length of an equivalent single-row 0.050" pitch connector carrying the same pin count.
What does the F (flush) contact designation mean for the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR, and in which board stackup scenarios is it preferred?
The F designation on the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR indicates a flush contact profile, where the mating contact tips are recessed or flush with the connector housing to enable an extremely low mated height. This variant is preferred in board stackup assemblies where the two mating PCBs must be separated by less than 3 mm, such as in ultra-thin portable devices, stacked module designs, or sealed enclosures where mechanical clearance is the primary design constraint alongside the 28-pin signal requirement.
Which automation and assembly benefits does the -TR tape-and-reel suffix provide for the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR?
The -TR suffix on the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR indicates tape-and-reel packaging that feeds directly into standard automated SMT pick-and-place equipment. For production batches of 500 or more boards, reel packaging eliminates manual connector loading, reduces misplacement errors on the 0.050" pitch footprint, and enables throughput rates compatible with high-speed SMT assembly lines. Samtec typically supplies 2,000 pieces per reel for SFM-series connectors, making this format practical for medium-to-high volume builds.
How does the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR compare to a wire-to-board alternative for a 28-signal interface in portable equipment?
Compared to a 28-conductor wire-to-board connector, the SFM-114-02-F-D-LC-TR on a 0.050" pitch offers significant space savings — the dual-row SMT footprint is approximately 16.51 mm × 2.54 mm versus the much larger body of a typical 28-pin wire-to-board housing. The SMT socket also eliminates cable routing inside the enclosure, reducing assembly steps and improving reliability. However, wire-to-board is preferred when the two boards cannot be mounted parallel to each other within the 3 mm separation range the flush contact variant supports.
