Frequently Asked Questions
What pin count and pitch does the SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P provide for high-density designs?
The SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P provides 74 positions arranged in a dual-row layout with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, delivering 37 contacts per row. This fine pitch enables significantly higher pin density than standard .100" connectors, making it ideal for compact server blades, FPGA expansion boards, and signal-intensive industrial control modules.
How does the SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P compare to .100" pitch connectors in terms of board space efficiency?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P occupies roughly half the linear board space of equivalent .100" pitch connectors for the same 74-pin count. This makes it a strong choice for PCB designs where minimizing connector footprint is critical while still routing dozens of high-speed signals.
Is SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P suitable for automated SMT reflow soldering in production environments?
Yes. The surface mount termination style of the SFM-137-02-F-D-A-P is fully compatible with automated SMT reflow soldering processes. The socket strip's 74-position dual-row layout can be placed by standard pick-and-place equipment and processed through standard lead-free reflow profiles up to approximately 260°C peak temperature.
What industries and application domains commonly use the SAMTEC SFM high-reliability socket strips?
SAMTEC SFM high-reliability socket strips with 0.050" pitch are widely used in telecom line cards, server blade interconnects, FPGA mezzanine modules, and industrial test fixtures. Their 74-position dual-row design supports complex signal buses and is found in aerospace-adjacent, computing infrastructure, and data center hardware requiring consistent performance across thousands of mating cycles.
