Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K offer, and why does that matter for dense PCB layouts?
The SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K provides 36 positions at a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch in a dual-row surface-mount configuration. This fine pitch combined with dual rows allows 36 signal connections within a small footprint, making it ideal for FPGA mezzanine cards and compact signal boards where board area is limited and high interconnect density is required.
Can SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K be used in automated PCB assembly, and what assembly process does it support?
Yes, the SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K is a surface-mount (SMT) component compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and reflow soldering processes. Its SMT footprint with 0.050 inch pitch pads is designed for consistent placement accuracy across production runs, reducing manual assembly costs and enabling high-volume manufacturing of dense interconnect boards.
What SAMTEC plug strip mates with the SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K, and what is the guaranteed mating interface?
The SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K mates with SAMTEC SFM series plug strips designed for 0.050 inch pitch dual-row board-to-board connections. This socket strip provides 36 positions across 2 rows at 1.27 mm pitch, with the mating interface engineered to SAMTEC's high-reliability specifications for consistent electrical performance across multiple mating cycles in instrumentation and industrial environments.
Which application domains are best served by the SFM-118-L2-FM-D-A-K socket strip?
Industrial embedded computing, test and measurement instruments, FPGA-based signal processing boards, and communication modules with space constraints benefit most from this 36-position, 0.050 inch pitch SMT dual-row socket. The high-reliability rating supports applications requiring stable performance over thousands of mating cycles, including removable daughter cards and modular system architectures needing reliable board-to-board interconnect at 1.27 mm pitch.
