What are the key features of SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR?

  • 36-position dual-row socket on ultra-fine 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling high-density mezzanine board interfaces
  • High-reliability SMT socket strip with gold-plated contacts for low-resistance, corrosion-resistant mating cycles
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) format supports automated pick-and-place assembly in volume SMT production lines

What is SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR used for?

The SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine and module-to-baseboard interconnections in space-constrained embedded computing, RF, and aerospace designs where a 36-position 0.050" pitch socket is required. Its surface-mount form factor supports single-pass reflow assembly without through-hole tooling, reducing PCB layer count and board thickness. The high-reliability gold-plated contacts make it suitable for applications requiring stable low-impedance connections across repeated mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pitch and position count does the SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR offer for mezzanine board designs?

The SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR is a 36-position dual-row socket strip on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This fine pitch allows 36 contacts to occupy significantly less board space than a standard 0.100 inch pitch connector, making it ideal for compact mezzanine and high-density module interfaces where PCB real estate is limited.

When does a design benefit from the SFM series 0.050" pitch socket over a standard 0.100" pitch alternative?

Choosing the 0.050 inch pitch SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR over a 0.100 inch pitch socket halves the connector footprint length for the same 36-position count, which is critical in compact RF modules, small form-factor computing boards, and aerospace payloads with strict size budgets. The trade-off is finer PCB land patterns requiring tighter fabrication tolerances, typically 4-mil trace and space.

Is the SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR compatible with automated SMT assembly and what packaging does it ship in?

Yes, the SFM-118-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel (TR) format, which is directly compatible with automated pick-and-place machines used in surface-mount production lines. The SMT termination style means the 36 socket contacts are placed and reflowed in a single pass alongside other surface-mount components, eliminating manual insertion steps.
