Frequently Asked Questions
How does the SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K differ from the SFM-126 series in pin count and mating options?
The SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K provides 50 contacts versus 52 contacts on the SFM-126 series, both using a dual-row 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch layout. The -FM suffix on the SFM-125 designates a female mating interface with a specific tail length variant, whereas the -ZZ suffix on SFM-126 indicates an alternative tail configuration. Both families share the same 0.050" grid, so mating headers are interchangeable within the series.
What current rating and working voltage apply to the SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K signal contacts?
SAMTEC SFM series socket strips are typically rated at 1 A per contact at room temperature and a working voltage of 125 V AC/DC. With 50 contacts available, the connector can carry multiple power or ground rails alongside signal lines in a single compact footprint, provided the total current load per pin stays within the 1 A thermal limit to avoid localized heating on the PCB.
Does the L2 standoff designation affect the mating stack height for the SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K?
Yes. The L2 suffix specifies a defined post length that sets the board-to-board mating stack height when combined with a matching header. SAMTEC L2 variants typically establish a controlled air gap of approximately 8.38 mm between mated PCBs, allowing clearance for components on the lower board. This is critical in stacked PCB designs where passive components or decoupling capacitors sit beneath the upper board.
Can SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K handle high-speed differential signals up to 1 GHz?
Yes. SAMTEC SFM series connectors are engineered for high-speed signal integrity, supporting differential pairs at data rates up to several Gbps with characteristic impedance close to 50 Ω per contact. At 1 GHz, the insertion loss is typically below 1 dB per contact, making the SFM-125-L2-FM-D-A-K suitable for LVDS, SGMII, and DDR3/4 address lines in FPGA and processor daughter card designs.
