Frequently Asked Questions

How many contact positions and what pitch does the SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC offer for mezzanine designs?

The SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC provides 46 positions in a dual-row layout with 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, yielding 23 contacts per row. This configuration fits a board footprint approximately 30 mm long, enabling compact daughter-card interfaces in embedded modules where board space is constrained to under 40 mm.

In which rugged or high-reliability environments is the SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC socket strip appropriate?

The SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC is designed for aerospace, defense, and industrial applications requiring connectors that maintain contact resistance below 30 mΩ over hundreds of mating cycles. Its gold-plated contacts resist oxidation in humid environments and remain stable over operating temperatures typically spanning -55°C to +125°C, making it suitable for avionics I/O modules and ruggedized field instruments.

How does the 1.27 mm pitch of SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC compare to a 2.54 mm pitch connector for the same 46-pin count?

At 1.27 mm pitch, the SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC connector body spans approximately 30 mm, roughly half the 60 mm length of a 2.54 mm pitch equivalent. This 50% reduction in footprint allows the remaining PCB area to be used for signal routing or power components, and the finer pitch also lowers parasitic inductance per contact, improving signal performance above 500 MHz.

Can the SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC withstand standard lead-free reflow soldering processes?

Yes, the SFM-123-02-SM-D-LC is designed for surface mount assembly and is compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles peaking at 260°C, as required by JEDEC J-STD-020. Its SMT pads allow automated pick-and-place placement within 0.1 mm accuracy, and the connector body material withstands the thermal stress of a 30-second soak at 260°C without warpage or contact deformation.
