Frequently Asked Questions
What configuration does the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-K offer and what is its contact pitch?
The SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-K provides 42 positions in a dual-row (2 rows of 21) socket strip on a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This fine pitch enables high-density PCB routing and is mating-compatible with SAMTEC TSM and TFM series headers at the same 0.050 inch spacing.
How does the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-K differ from SFM-122-L2-FM-D-A-K in terms of pin count and target use case?
The SFM-121 provides 42 positions versus 44 positions on the SFM-122, both at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch in a dual-row SMT socket format. The 2-pin difference makes SFM-121 suitable for designs requiring 42 signals where the mating header footprint dictates 21 pins per row rather than 22.
For a rugged avionics module, how many mating cycles can the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-K typically support compared to standard commercial sockets?
SAMTEC SFM high-reliability socket strips are designed for a minimum of 100 mating cycles, well above the 30 to 50 cycle rating of typical low-cost commercial SMT sockets, making them appropriate for field-maintainable avionics and defense modules where boards are swapped regularly during service intervals.
