What are the key features of SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR?

  • 28-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with floating (F) contact design that accommodates up to ±0.5 mm PCB misalignment during mating
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place assembly at high production rates with zero manual intervention
  • High-reliability gold-plated contacts maintain low contact resistance across all 28 positions over extended temperature and cycle life
  • Surface mount termination compatible with standard SMT reflow soldering processes for streamlined PCB fabrication

What is SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR used for?

The SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR is designed for applications requiring misalignment-tolerant board-to-board interconnections, such as plug-in module interfaces, daughter card connectors, and removable peripheral boards in industrial and embedded computing systems. Its floating contact technology compensates for PCB-to-PCB alignment offsets that are common in chassis-mounted or hand-assembled systems. With 28 positions at 1.27 mm pitch and tape-and-reel packaging, it is well-suited for automated SMT production in telecommunications, defense, and medical electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 'F' suffix mean in SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR and when is it beneficial?

The 'F' suffix designates a floating contact design, which allows the mating header to self-align within a tolerance of approximately ±0.5 mm during board-to-board connection. This is especially beneficial in chassis-mounted assemblies or hand-soldered dual-board systems where PCB-to-PCB alignment cannot be held to tight tolerances, preventing contact stress and reducing mate/unmate forces across all 28 positions.

How does the 28-position count of the SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR fit common bus architectures?

With 28 total positions in dual-row format (14 per row) at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, this connector can carry a 24-bit bus with 4 control lines, or a 16-bit address bus combined with 12 control/data signals. This makes SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR a practical choice for embedded processor daughter cards, FPGA expansion modules, and custom peripheral interface boards.

What production advantages does tape-and-reel packaging provide for the SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR?

Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging allows automated pick-and-place equipment to place SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR directly onto PCBs at production speeds exceeding hundreds of placements per hour, eliminating hand-placement errors. The 28-position connector reflows in standard lead-free solder profiles, integrating seamlessly into high-volume SMT lines without any special tooling or fixtures.

Which Samtec mating headers are designed to pair with the SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR socket?

The SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC-TR mates with Samtec TSM and SFM dual-row headers at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with 28 positions. If tape-and-reel is not required, the SFM-114-L2-F-D-LC (no TR suffix) offers the same floating 28-pin dual-row socket in tray packaging for prototype or low-volume builds.
