What are the key features of SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K?
- 74-position dual-row socket strip at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch delivers high signal density for compact mezzanine and board-to-board stacking configurations
- Solder-tail-less (STL) construction enables direct surface mount mating with precise controlled stack height, simplifying board-to-board assembly in space-constrained enclosures
- Gold-plated high-reliability contacts maintain stable electrical continuity through thousands of mating cycles, meeting the demands of industrial, aerospace, and defense applications
What is SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K used for?
The SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K is used in mezzanine card and module interconnect designs for aerospace avionics, military electronics, and high-performance computing where 74-pin dual-row capacity at 0.050" pitch with controlled stack height is required. Its solder-tail-less design allows precise board separation and mating force control, making it ideal for field-replaceable module interfaces in ruggedized systems. Medical instrumentation and test equipment manufacturers also specify this socket strip for daughterboard interfaces requiring repeatable contact resistance under vibration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many contact positions does the SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K offer, and what is the contact pitch?
The SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K features 74 contacts in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, with 37 positions per row. This high-density arrangement allows a large number of signal and power connections across a narrow board edge in compact mezzanine and stacked PCB designs.
What does the STL suffix mean in SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K, and how does it affect assembly?
The STL suffix designates a solder-tail-less termination style, meaning the socket mounts directly without conventional solder tails protruding through or onto the PCB. This allows the connector to establish board-to-board contact at a precisely controlled stack height, typically within ±0.5mm tolerance, which is critical for RF shielding enclosure fits and conformal coating clearances.
What current rating does each contact pin carry in the SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K?
Each contact in the SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K is rated at 1A. With 74 total pins, designers can dedicate 6 or more pins per power rail to handle 6A or higher currents while routing dozens of signal lines on the remaining contacts, providing full flexibility for mixed power-and-signal mezzanine board interfaces.
In what rugged application environments is SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K preferred over a standard 0.100" pitch socket strip?
In aerospace, defense, and industrial control environments where PCB real estate is constrained and vibration resistance is mandatory, the SFM-137-02-STL-D-A-K at 0.050" pitch provides twice the contact density of 0.100" alternatives in the same linear board space. Its gold-plated high-reliability contacts maintain electrical continuity through thousands of mating cycles and exposure to temperature extremes from -55°C to +125°C.
