What are the key features of SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR?

  • 48-position dual-row SMT socket on ultra-fine 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch for high-density layouts
  • Right-angle (L2) termination enables board-edge or side-exit mating in space-constrained enclosures
  • Polarization key (K) prevents incorrect mating orientation, reducing assembly errors in multi-connector designs
  • Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated SMT pick-and-place for high-volume production

What is SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR used for?

The SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR is used in high-density mezzanine and daughter-card interconnects for embedded computing platforms, FPGA expansion boards, and communications modules where a 0.050-inch pitch saves significant PCB area compared with 0.100-inch alternatives. Its right-angle profile suits rack-mounted equipment where cables must exit parallel to the PCB surface within tight backplane clearances. The keyed polarization and high-reliability gold contacts make it suitable for defense, aerospace, and industrial systems that demand consistent performance over thousands of mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 0.050-inch pitch of SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR compare with standard 0.100-inch headers in terms of board space savings?

At 0.050-inch (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR occupies roughly half the footprint length of an equivalent 0.100-inch connector with the same 48-position count. A 48-position dual-row 0.050-inch socket spans approximately 30 mm, versus about 60 mm for a 0.100-inch version, enabling significant PCB area savings in compact embedded computing and FPGA expansion card designs.

What does the ZZ suffix indicate for SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR in terms of contact or plating options?

The ZZ suffix in Samtec's SFM series designates a no-option or default plating configuration, typically indicating gold-plated contacts over a nickel underplate for the mating interface. Gold plating ensures low contact resistance below 20 milliohms, prevents oxidation over time, and supports reliable signal integrity across thousands of mating cycles, which is critical for removable daughter cards in industrial and test-and-measurement systems.

Can SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR mate with Samtec TFM or TSM series headers, and what should I check before designing it in?

The SFM series mates with Samtec's corresponding 0.050-inch pitch header series such as the TFM family. Before designing the SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR, verify the mating header's pitch (1.27 mm), row count (dual-row), and position count (24 per row, 48 total) align with your header choice. Also confirm the right-angle exit angle (L2) suits your PCB-to-cable or board-to-board geometry, as a vertical version would require a different suffix.

Is SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR suitable for high-speed differential signals in FPGA or SerDes applications?

The SFM-124-L2-ZZ-D-A-K-TR can support moderate-speed differential signals; however, for SerDes links above 3 Gbps, Samtec's high-speed controlled-impedance connectors (such as the FireFly or SEARAY series at 50 ohms) are recommended. The SFM series is better suited to general-purpose I/O and low-speed differential buses such as LVDS at frequencies up to a few hundred MHz on a 1.27 mm pitch layout.
