Key Features
- 36 positions in dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch surface mount configuration for high-density board-to-board connections
- High-reliability gold-plated socket contacts rated for extended mating cycles in demanding applications
- Latch-mount (LM) mechanical retention for secure, vibration-resistant mating in rugged environments
- Surface mount termination compatible with automated SMT assembly processes on compact PCBs
Applications
The SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K is deployed in board-to-board stacking applications in high-reliability industrial, aerospace, and military electronics where secure mating at 0.050" pitch and vibration resistance are required. Its 36-position dual-row socket configuration supports dense signal routing between daughter cards and backplanes. The latch-mount retention makes it suitable for rugged systems that experience shock and vibration during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K provide?
The SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K provides 36 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, enabling high-density board-to-board connections in compact PCB designs where standard 0.100" pitch connectors would occupy twice the board area.
What retention mechanism does the latch-mount (LM) feature provide for this SAMTEC socket strip?
The latch-mount (LM) feature on the SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K provides mechanical retention that secures the mated connector pair against vibration and shock. This is critical in industrial, aerospace, or military systems where 36-pin dual-row connections at 0.050" pitch must maintain contact integrity under dynamic mechanical stress.
In which high-reliability applications is the SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K typically used?
The SFM-118-L2-LM-D-A-K is used in board-to-board stacking for aerospace avionics, military electronics, and industrial control systems requiring 36-position dual-row connectivity at 0.050" pitch with gold-plated contacts rated for hundreds of mating cycles. Its surface mount design allows integration into automated assembly workflows for high-reliability PCB assemblies.
