Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and what pitch does the SFM-136-02-F-D-A-K provide?
The SFM-136-02-F-D-A-K offers 72 positions in a dual-row configuration at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This tight spacing enables routing of 72 signals within a compact SMT footprint, making it a practical choice for high-density PCB designs in embedded computing and test equipment.
What mating cycles and current rating are typical for SAMTEC SFM series connectors at 0.050-inch pitch?
SAMTEC SFM series connectors at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch are typically rated for 1 A per contact at up to 150 V AC/DC and are designed for at least 100 mating cycles. These specifications make the SFM-136-02-F-D-A-K reliable for systems where boards are regularly inserted and removed, such as test jigs and modular instrument platforms.
When would a designer select SFM-136-02-F-D-A-K over a standard 72-pin through-hole socket connector?
A designer would choose the SFM-136-02-F-D-A-K when PCB real estate is limited and automated SMT assembly is preferred over through-hole drilling. The 1.27 mm pitch surface mount design reduces connector footprint by approximately 75% compared to a 2.54 mm through-hole alternative carrying 72 signals, while the keying feature prevents orientation errors in automated assembly lines.
