What are the key features of SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR?

  • 42-position dual-row socket at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch provides high signal density for mezzanine and FMC module interfaces in a compact SMT footprint
  • Gold-plated contact finish (A suffix) ensures contact resistance below 20 mΩ and supports over 500 mating cycles, ideal for test fixtures and field-replaceable modules
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enables automated pick-and-place SMT assembly at production volumes exceeding 2,000 units per reel

What is SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?

The SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine interconnects, FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) interfaces, and signal acquisition modules where 42 closely spaced connections are required at 0.050" pitch. Its gold-plated contacts and tape-and-reel packaging make it well suited for high-volume production of test-and-measurement equipment, communications line cards, and embedded computing modules where contact reliability over repeated insertions is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the gold contact finish on the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR benefit a high-cycle test fixture application?

The gold-plated contacts (A suffix) on the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR maintain contact resistance below 20 mΩ across more than 500 mating cycles, preventing oxidation-related failures in automated test fixtures where the connector is engaged and disengaged multiple times per day.

What is the total position count and physical layout of the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR?

The SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR provides 42 total positions in a dual-row configuration with 21 contacts per row at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. The contact field spans approximately 27 mm in length and 2.5 mm in row-to-row spacing, fitting standard 0.050" mezzanine PCB footprints.

For an FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) application, why would a designer choose the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR over a 0.100" pitch socket?

FMC carrier board standards require 0.050" pitch connectors to accommodate up to 160 signal pins in a 30 mm × 10 mm area. The SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR at 0.050" pitch allows 42 signals in the same linear space that would carry only 21 signals with a 0.100" connector, meeting FMC module density requirements.

What is the advantage of tape-and-reel packaging for the SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR in a contract manufacturing environment?

Tape-and-reel packaging places each SFM-121-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR connector in a 24 mm carrier pocket, enabling uninterrupted automated pick-and-place at placement rates above 5,000 components per hour with less than 0.1% placement error, versus tray-fed manual loading that can slow output by 50% or more.
