What are the key features of SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC?
- 40-position dual-row Tiger Eye socket strip at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch for ultra-high-density SMT mezzanine card connections
- 30 micro-inch gold contact finish on mating interface with tin-nickel barrier termination for long-term corrosion resistance and reliable solderability
- High-reliability construction with 9.4-year end-of-life rating, compatible with automated SMT reflow at 260 °C for high-volume production
What is SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC used for?
The SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC is ideal for high-density mezzanine and daughter card sockets in aerospace avionics, military embedded computing, and telecom line cards requiring reliable 1.27 mm pitch interconnects at 40 positions. Its Tiger Eye dual-beam contact design accommodates PCB coplanarity tolerances, ensuring consistent mating force and low contact resistance across temperature extremes from -55 °C to +125 °C. The surface mount LC (low-clearance) configuration minimizes board height in stacked PCB assemblies used in rack-mounted computing systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What contact finish does the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC use and how many positions does it provide?
The SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC provides 40 contact positions in a dual-row layout with 30 micro-inch gold plating on the mating contacts and a tin finish with nickel barrier on the SMT termination side. The 30 micro-inch gold finish ensures low contact resistance and durability across multiple mating cycles in high-reliability applications.
How does the Tiger Eye contact technology in the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC reduce contact resistance issues in vibrating environments?
The Tiger Eye contacts in the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC use a dual-beam wiping mechanism that maintains a contact resistance below 20 milliohms even when subjected to vibration and PCB coplanarity variations up to ±0.1 mm. This wiping action displaces surface contamination during mating, preserving reliable signal integrity across the 40-pin interface from -55 °C to +125 °C.
Which board stacking and mezzanine applications best suit the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC socket strip?
XMC, PMC, and AMC mezzanine card sockets in defense and aerospace systems best suit the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC because its 1.27 mm pitch dual-row 40-position layout provides high pin density in a body measuring only 1.015 inches long by 0.19 inches deep. The low-clearance LC variant minimizes the stack height between boards in compact embedded computing chassis operating at -55 °C to +125 °C.
What is the factory lead time for the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC and is it available for immediate procurement?
The standard factory lead time for the SFM-120-L2-S-D-LC is approximately 3 weeks when ordering from stock-depleted production runs. Distributor stock is available for immediate shipment, providing 40-position SMT Tiger Eye socket strips with 30 micro-inch gold contacts without the 3-week factory wait in standard procurement scenarios.
