Key Features
- Tiger Eye contact design delivers enhanced normal force and improved mating reliability over standard stamped contacts
- Gold (10 µin) over nickel (50 µin) contact finish provides low contact resistance and outstanding corrosion resistance
- 40-position dual-row 0.050" pitch layout maximizes signal density on space-constrained PCBs
Applications
The SFM-120-02-L-D is well suited for high-reliability board-to-board and mezzanine interconnect applications in telecommunications, test and measurement equipment, and aerospace electronics where dependable signal integrity across 40 dual-row positions is critical. Its Tiger Eye contact geometry offers increased normal force compared to standard contacts, making it ideal for environments subject to vibration or repeated mating cycles. The 1.27 mm pitch design enables compact routing in densely populated PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Tiger Eye contact in SFM-120-02-L-D different from standard socket contacts?
The Tiger Eye contact geometry used in the SFM-120-02-L-D applies a higher normal contact force than conventional stamped contacts, ensuring reliable electrical connections across up to 500 mating cycles. The 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel plating further reduces contact resistance and protects against oxidation in harsh environments with temperature ranges down to -55°C.
How many positions does SFM-120-02-L-D provide, and what pitch separates each contact?
The SFM-120-02-L-D provides 40 total positions arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact spacing allows designers to route 40 signals within a body length of approximately 1.015 inches, making it efficient for high-density backplane or mezzanine PCB applications.
For which procurement scenarios is SFM-120-02-L-D readily available, and what is the typical factory lead time?
The SFM-120-02-L-D carries a factory lead time of approximately 1 week from SAMTEC, with RoHS-compliant (Pb-free) versions available through authorized global distributors. Its E.L.P. (Extended Life Performance) contact option further supports procurement for long-lifecycle defense and industrial programs requiring traceability and 40-position socket availability over extended product support windows.
