Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR use and why is it important for connector reliability?
The SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR uses 30 µin gold on the mating contacts and tin-over-nickel on the termination side. The 30 µin gold mating finish provides superior wear resistance, supporting 200 or more mating cycles with minimal contact resistance increase. Nickel barrier plating prevents tin diffusion into the base material, while the tin termination ensures excellent solder wettability for lead-free reflow processes at 240°C to 260°C.
How does the SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR tape-and-reel packaging benefit high-volume PCB assembly?
The tape-and-reel (TR) packaging format of the SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR allows it to be loaded directly into automated pick-and-place machines for high-throughput surface-mount assembly. This format supports reel quantities of 500 to 2000 pieces, reducing manual handling, improving placement accuracy to within ±0.1 mm, and enabling consistent throughput speeds of thousands of placements per hour in automated SMT lines.
What PCB footprint does the SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR require and how does it fit in compact designs?
The SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR body measures 0.765" in length, 0.145" in breadth, and 0.185" in depth, requiring approximately 0.11 square inches of PCB area for the connector footprint. Its 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row layout accommodates 30 contacts (15 per row) within this compact space, making it compatible with SOM boards, mezzanine modules, and dense multilayer PCBs where signal density per unit area must exceed 270 contacts per square inch.
In which embedded and industrial designs is SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR preferred over single-row alternatives?
The SFM-115-02-S-D-K-TR is preferred over single-row alternatives when routing 30 signals in a board length under 1 inch, since a comparable single-row connector would need at least 1.5" to accommodate the same pin count at 0.050" pitch. Applications such as FPGA mezzanine cards, industrial I/O modules with 16-bit digital buses, and compact motor-drive control boards regularly select this dual-row socket to minimize connector length while maintaining full signal capacity.
