Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and contact count does the SFM-118-L2-SM-D-A-K-TR provide for high-density SMT interconnects?
The SFM-118-L2-SM-D-A-K-TR features a 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch with 36 positions arranged in a dual-row layout, delivering 18 contacts per row and enabling compact board-to-board connections with minimal PCB footprint.
Which high-reliability embedded computing designs are suited for the SFM-118-L2-SM-D-A-K-TR socket strip?
FPGA mezzanine cards, rugged embedded computing modules, and military avionics boards benefit from this connector. Its dual-row 36-pin configuration handles data and power routing simultaneously, while the SMT termination withstands over 500 mating cycles in vibration-prone environments.
How does the tape-and-reel packaging of SFM-118-L2-SM-D-A-K-TR support high-volume PCB assembly?
The TR (tape-and-reel) suffix indicates the connector ships on reels compatible with standard 8 mm or 12 mm pick-and-place feeders, enabling automated SMT assembly lines to place 36-pin socket strips at rates exceeding 1000 placements per hour without manual handling.
