Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the SFM-136-02-STL-D-A connector provide?
The SFM-136-02-STL-D-A provides 72 total positions arranged in a dual-row layout, with 36 pins per row on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density configuration supports a large number of signals in a compact SMT footprint suitable for modern high-speed board-to-board interfaces.
What PCB mounting method does SFM-136-02-STL-D-A use and what are the solder pad requirements?
SFM-136-02-STL-D-A uses surface-mount technology (SMT) with gull-wing or surface-mount leads on a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. Pad design follows SAMTEC's standard footprint for the SFM series, allowing standard reflow soldering at up to 260°C peak temperature per IPC J-STD-020 guidelines for SMT components.
Which mating connector family is compatible with SFM-136-02-STL-D-A?
SFM-136-02-STL-D-A is designed to mate with SAMTEC's TSM and SFM series header connectors sharing the 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch and dual-row footprint. The gold-plated contacts accommodate a minimum of 500 mating cycles, making this socket suitable for modular systems that require frequent card insertion and removal.
Is SFM-136-02-STL-D-A suitable for high-speed digital signal applications?
Yes. The SFM-136-02-STL-D-A is engineered for high-reliability signal integrity with gold-plated contacts providing low contact resistance below 20 milliohms. The 0.050 inch pitch reduces crosstalk between adjacent pins, supporting data rates up to several hundred MHz in board-to-board interconnect applications within test equipment and FPGA platforms.
What is the current carrying capacity per pin for SFM-136-02-STL-D-A in power distribution designs?
Each pin of the SFM-136-02-STL-D-A can carry approximately 1 A of current at standard operating temperatures up to 105°C. With 72 pins available across two rows, designers can parallel multiple pins to deliver higher current levels for power rails in embedded computing and industrial control boards.
