What are the key features of SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 30 positions in dual-row 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch configuration delivering dense SMT board-to-board signal interconnect across 15 contacts per row
  • Low-profile mounting (LM) reduces above-board connector height enabling tight mezzanine stack clearances below 5 mm
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging with polarization (P) keying prevents mis-mating and supports automated SMT assembly at high production volumes

What is SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR used for?

SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR is suited for high-density mezzanine board interfaces in compact embedded systems, wireless communication modules, and medical electronics where 30 signal connections must be routed through a narrow PCB footprint with minimal stacking height. The low-profile mounting option allows adjacent components to be placed closer to the connector without exceeding component height restrictions set by enclosure mechanical constraints. The polarized (P) keying feature prevents incorrect board orientation during assembly and field installation, reducing costly assembly errors in high-reliability production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the low-profile mounting (LM) suffix on SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR benefit compact embedded computing designs?

The LM (low-profile mounting) suffix reduces the above-board height of SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR to below 3 mm, compared to standard SFM configurations that stand 4 mm to 6 mm above the PCB surface. This lower profile is critical in slim embedded modules, industrial panel computers, and wearable medical devices where the total board assembly height including connectors must remain under 10 mm to fit within the product enclosure without mechanical interference.

What does the polarization (P) suffix on SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR prevent during board assembly, and why is it valuable in production?

The P (polarization) suffix on SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR indicates a keyed connector body that physically prevents 180-degree misorientation during mating with the matching polarized header. Without polarization on a symmetric 30-position dual-row connector, a reversed board could energize the wrong 15 pins, potentially damaging ICs connected to the 1.27 mm pitch signal lines. In high-volume production runs of 5,000 or more boards, polarization keying eliminates 100% of orientation errors that would otherwise require costly board rework or cause warranty returns.

What connector family mates with SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR to complete a 30-position board stack?

SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR mates with SAMTEC TFM-115 series dual-row 1.27 mm pitch header strips in the 30-position polarized configuration. The TFM-115-xx-xx-D-xx-P series headers provide a defined mating stack height when combined with the low-profile SFM socket, creating total board-to-board separations of 4 mm to 8 mm depending on header post length, suitable for Raspberry Pi HAT-style or Arduino Shield mezzanine boards measuring up to 65 mm × 56 mm in standard form factors.

When should SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR be specified over a larger 42-position SFM connector for an FPGA expansion board?

SFM-115-02-LM-D-A-P-TR with its 30 positions should be specified when the FPGA expansion interface requires 24 to 30 data or control signals and PCB edge space is limited to under 20 mm connector length at 1.27 mm pitch. A 42-position connector would extend approximately 27 mm and require additional routing for 12 unused pins, increasing trace congestion near the connector. For designs using all 30 pins for mixed-voltage I/O banks at 1.8 V and 3.3 V logic levels, SFM-115 provides the exact capacity with minimal connector overhead.
