What are the key features of SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR?

  • 46-position dual-row SMT socket strip at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch providing high-density board-to-board signal connectivity in a compact footprint
  • L2 extended contact length with SM tail style accommodating larger board-to-board stack heights for components protruding between mated PCBs
  • Gold-plated (A) contacts combined with P polarization key ensuring low contact resistance and orientation-safe mating across high-cycle industrial applications

What is SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR used for?

The SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR is suited for FPGA mezzanine card interfaces, industrial sensor expansion modules, and embedded processor daughterboards where 46 dual-row signals must be routed at 0.050 inch pitch between stacked PCBs. Its polarization key and gold contacts provide assured mating and reliable performance in telecom, defense, and test-and-measurement equipment requiring high interconnect density with minimal footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many signal positions does the SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR provide, and at what pitch are they arranged?

The SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR provides 46 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This gives 23 positions per row, enabling dense routing of data buses, control lines, and power signals between stacked boards in a surface mount footprint that occupies significantly less PCB area than equivalent through-hole connectors.

What is the advantage of the SM tail style in the SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR compared to standard surface mount tails?

The SM tail style on the SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR provides solder tail geometry optimized for reflow soldering with controlled stand-off height, ensuring coplanarity across all 46 positions during automated SMT assembly. This reduces solder joint voids and open-circuit defects compared to standard tails, which is especially important in high-reliability industrial boards where 100% solder joint integrity across all 46 pins is mandatory.

When should an engineer select the SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR over a 40-position SFM connector for an embedded I/O expansion board?

The 46-position SFM-123-L2-SM-D-A-P-TR is the right choice when the I/O expansion board requires simultaneous routing of a 32-bit address or data bus plus at least 14 additional control, interrupt, or power signals in a single connector. Splitting connectivity across a 40-position and a separate smaller connector would increase PCB routing complexity; consolidating all 46 signals at 0.050 inch pitch in one SMT package simplifies layout and reduces assembly cost.
