What are the key features of SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR?
- 64-position dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for compact high-density board-to-board signal routing
- Short tail (STL) contact design minimizes solder wicking and improves coplanarity in surface mount assembly
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging supports automated pick-and-place SMT production for medium and high volumes
- Tiger Eye contact technology provides high normal contact force for reliable gas-tight electrical connections
- Dual-row A-style configuration offers flexible mating with SAMTEC TSM and FLE series counterpart headers
What is SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR used for?
The SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR is designed for high-density mezzanine card interconnects, FPGA daughter boards, and compact embedded computing modules requiring 64 reliable signal paths at 0.050" pitch. Its short tail SMT contacts and tape-and-reel packaging make it well-suited for fully automated PCB assembly lines in high-volume production of industrial controllers, medical imaging modules, and communication interface boards. The dual-row A-style format is compatible with standard SAMTEC mating header families for system-level board stacking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR provide, and how are they organized?
The SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR provides 64 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 32 contacts per row. This 64-position count strikes a balance between signal density and manageable connector length, and is commonly used in mezzanine card interfaces, high-speed FPGA I/O expansion boards, and embedded computing modules requiring 64 parallel data or control lines per connector.
What does the STL suffix mean in SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR, and how does it affect SMT solder quality?
The STL suffix denotes a short tail contact variant, meaning the contact tail length protruding below the connector body is shorter than the standard design. A shorter tail reduces the risk of solder wicking up the contact during reflow, which helps maintain consistent solder joint height and coplanarity across all 64 positions. This is especially important for fine-pitch 0.050" surface mount connectors where solder joint uniformity directly impacts mechanical and electrical reliability.
Is the SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR compatible with automated PCB assembly, and what reel quantities are typical?
Yes, the TR suffix confirms that the SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR is supplied in tape-and-reel format, which is directly compatible with automated SMT pick-and-place machines. Standard SAMTEC tape-and-reel connectors are typically supplied in quantities of 100 to 500 units per reel depending on body size. This packaging enables consistent, high-speed placement of the 64-position connector without manual intervention, supporting production runs of hundreds to thousands of boards.
What connector family does the SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR belong to, and which mating headers are compatible?
The SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR belongs to SAMTEC's SFM (Socket Flex-Mount) series of high-reliability surface mount socket strips with 0.050" pitch. Compatible mating headers include SAMTEC's TSM, FLE, and THM series dual-row board-to-board headers at the same 0.050" pitch. The A-style and dual-row (D) coding ensures the 64-position socket mates correctly with the corresponding plug header in both stack height and contact alignment.
For which high-reliability applications is the SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR most commonly specified?
The SFM-132-T2-STL-D-A-P-TR is commonly specified in defense electronics, aerospace avionics, medical instrumentation, and industrial automation equipment where the Tiger Eye contact technology guarantees reliable electrical connections across temperature ranges of -55°C to +125°C and over thousands of mating cycles. Its 64-position dual-row format at 0.050" pitch is particularly valued in military-grade FPGA boards, ruggedized embedded computing modules, and mission-critical signal routing applications.
