Key Features
- 64-position dual-row socket at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch accommodates dense 32-signal-per-row configurations in a minimal PCB footprint
- Key-lock (K suffix) polarization feature prevents incorrect mating in multi-connector assemblies, protecting circuit integrity on dense module interfaces
- High-reliability SFM socket construction with precision contact alignment ensures consistent mating across the full 64 positions for signal integrity in high-speed digital applications
Applications
SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnects in FPGA carrier boards, communication modules, and high-performance computing daughtercards where 64 signals must be routed through a compact 0.050" pitch socket. The key-lock feature makes it especially suitable for field-replaceable module systems in network switches and industrial computing platforms where multiple adjacent connectors must be correctly oriented during hot-swap or maintenance operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contacts per row does SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K provide, and how does this benefit FPGA module designs?
SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K provides 32 contacts per row in a dual-row configuration, totaling 64 positions at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. For FPGA module designs, 64 I/O pins through a single connector at 1.27 mm pitch spans approximately 40 mm of board edge, allowing a full high-speed parallel bus—including address, data, and control lines—to fit within the width of a compact mezzanine card.
What does the K suffix indicate in SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K, and when is polarization critical?
The K suffix designates a key-lock polarization feature that physically blocks mating in the incorrect orientation. Polarization is critical in systems with multiple adjacent 64-pin 0.050" pitch sockets—such as multi-channel data acquisition boards or multi-module RF platforms—where incorrect insertion of a 3.3 V or 5 V powered module into an adjacent socket could damage I/O buffers or power rails across both boards.
How does SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K compare to the 60-position SFM-130 variant in terms of pin count and use cases?
SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K offers 64 positions versus 60 in the SFM-130 series, providing 4 additional contacts at the same 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. Those extra 4 pins are often used for power rails or differential pairs in high-speed serial interfaces running at multi-Gbps rates, making SFM-132 the preferred choice when design constraints require carrying dedicated supply pins alongside 60 signal lines in a single connector.
What stack height options are compatible with SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K for board-to-board assemblies?
The T2 suffix in SFM-132-T2-S-D-A-K designates a specific tail length for the socket, which sets the mating engagement depth and thus the achievable board separation when paired with a matching SAMTEC TSM or SMM header. SAMTEC's 0.050" pitch stacking system supports stack heights ranging from approximately 3 mm to 15 mm, allowing designers to select the appropriate standoff height to clear on-board components up to 13 mm tall between the two mated PCBs.
