Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR socket strip provide?
The SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR provides 42 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This layout delivers 21 signal positions per row in a compact length, making it suitable for high-density board-to-board connections in embedded computing and data acquisition systems where PCB space is limited.
What assembly method does the SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR use, and how does it fit into automated production?
The SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR uses surface mount technology (SMT) termination, compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow solder ovens. No through-hole drilling is required for the 42-position footprint, reducing PCB fabrication cost and supporting high-volume automated assembly on 1.27 mm pitch land patterns.
In which board-to-board applications does the SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR deliver the best performance?
This 42-position, 0.050" pitch SMT socket excels in mezzanine interconnects between a main board and a daughter card, such as FPGA expansion boards, processor modules, and industrial I/O cards. Its dual-row design at 1.27 mm pitch supports up to 42 signal lines in a short connector body, enabling compact stack heights below 8 mm in most mating configurations.
How does the SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR compare to a 2 mm pitch dual-row connector for the same signal count?
Compared to a 2 mm pitch dual-row connector carrying 42 positions, the SFM-121-02-FM-D-A-K-TR at 1.27 mm pitch reduces the connector body length by approximately 35%, freeing significant PCB real estate. The 0.050" pitch also allows finer escape routing on inner PCB layers, which is advantageous on 4-layer to 6-layer boards with dense via fields adjacent to the connector footprint.
