Key Features
- 32-position dual-row female socket with 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch supporting high pin-density board-to-board connections in compact SMT layouts
- Polarized housing feature prevents incorrect mating orientation, eliminating mis-insertion errors during field assembly or automated board-to-board joining
- High-reliability SAMTEC SFM series construction with robust socket body designed for consistent mating force across extended product service life
Applications
The SFM-116-L2-S-D-A is ideal for mezzanine card, daughter-board, and module-to-backplane connections in embedded computing, telecommunications, and industrial control systems where a 0.050" pitch polarized socket prevents incorrect assembly. Its 32-position dual-row layout enables 32 signal or power lines to be routed in a space-efficient footprint well-suited to high-density PCB designs. The surface-mount format integrates seamlessly into standard SMT reflow assembly processes used in production electronics manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the polarization feature of the SFM-116-L2-S-D-A prevent field assembly errors?
The SFM-116-L2-S-D-A housing includes a mechanical polarization key that physically blocks mating with a misaligned header, ensuring correct pin-1 orientation every time on its 32-position dual-row 0.050" pitch interface. This eliminates reverse-insertion damage to sensitive circuits and reduces rework costs during both automated and manual board assembly operations.
What board-to-board pitch does the SFM-116-L2-S-D-A support and how does it compare to 0.100" pitch alternatives?
The SFM-116-L2-S-D-A uses a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, which is half the spacing of standard 0.100" (2.54 mm) pitch connectors. This allows the same 32 positions to occupy roughly half the board length, enabling significantly denser PCB layouts in space-constrained designs such as SBCs, FPGA modules, and compact instrument boards.
For a mezzanine card design with 32 signals, what board stacking height does the SFM-116-L2-S-D-A target?
The SFM-116-L2-S-D-A is part of SAMTEC's SFM socket series, which mates with corresponding male headers to achieve defined stacking heights typically ranging from 4 mm to 11 mm depending on the paired header stack height suffix. With 32 contacts across 2 rows at 1.27 mm pitch, it provides a compact 16-column interface that fits within standard mezzanine card footprint guidelines.
