Frequently Asked Questions

What does the H suffix indicate in the SFM-138-L2-H-D-LC, and how does it affect PCB stack height?

The H suffix designates a high mating height variant in Samtec's SFM series. This increased mating height creates more clearance between two stacked PCBs compared to standard or low-profile variants, accommodating taller components such as heatsinks, capacitors, or modules mounted on the mezzanine board within 76-pin dual-row configurations.

How many total contact positions does the SFM-138-L2-H-D-LC provide, and what pitch does it use?

The SFM-138-L2-H-D-LC provides 76 total positions arranged in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, giving 38 contacts per row. This high contact count at fine pitch enables dense parallel bus routing, multi-channel analog, and differential pair signaling in mezzanine board applications.

Which high-density applications are best served by the 76-position SFM-138-L2-H-D-LC over smaller pin-count connectors?

Applications requiring parallel bus interfaces wider than 32 bits, multi-channel FPGA I/O expansion, or combined power and signal routing across a mezzanine board benefit most from the 76-position count. High-speed data acquisition boards, FPGA carrier cards with 38 differential pairs, and server blade interconnects needing more than 64 pins per connector are ideal use cases for the SFM-138-L2-H-D-LC.
