What are the key features of SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K?
- 74-position dual-row configuration on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch enables very high contact density in a compact SMT footprint
- High-reliability socket strip construction with stamped-and-formed contacts suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly
- Surface-mount termination style with kinked tails provides excellent solder joint strength and coplanarity for high-cycle applications
What is SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K used for?
The SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K is ideal for high-density PCB-to-PCB mating in rack-mount servers, industrial controllers, and test-and-measurement equipment where 74 signal lines must be routed in minimal board space. Its surface-mount design with 0.050 inch pitch integrates cleanly into automated SMT assembly lines, reducing through-hole tooling costs. The high-reliability socket construction is also used in aerospace avionics and ruggedized embedded computing platforms where connector integrity over thousands of mating cycles is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 0.050 inch pitch of the SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K compare to standard 0.100 inch headers in terms of board space savings?
The SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, which is half the spacing of standard 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) headers. This halves the row-to-row distance and reduces the total connector footprint by approximately 75%, allowing 74 dual-row contacts to occupy roughly the same area as a 37-position standard connector, freeing board space for other components.
In which high-density signal routing applications is SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K most commonly used?
This 74-position surface-mount socket strip is commonly used in rack servers, FPGA development boards, and industrial automation controllers where 74 or more signal lines must be interconnected between PCBs. The dual-row 0.050 inch pitch layout supports data buses running at speeds above 100 MHz and current ratings up to 1 A per contact in these high-signal-count systems.
What is the mating connector family for the SFM-137-L2-STL-D-A-K and how do I select the correct pin header?
The SFM series mates with SAMTEC's TSM or TMM series pin headers at the same 0.050 inch pitch and dual-row count. For the 74-position (37 per row) version, the corresponding pin header would be a 37-position dual-row part from the TMM family. Verify the stacking height requirement, which is typically 4 mm to 11 mm, before selecting the mating connector.
