What are the key features of SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K?
- 76-position dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch delivers high signal density in a compact SMT footprint
- Gold-plated contacts provide low insertion loss and corrosion resistance for high-cycle-count mating applications
- High-reliability construction tested for thousands of mating cycles ensures stable electrical performance in demanding environments
- Surface-mount termination compatible with automated reflow processes reduces assembly time and cost versus through-hole alternatives
What is SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K used for?
The SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K is designed for high-density mezzanine and daughter-card interconnects in telecommunications line cards, FPGA development boards, and high-speed data acquisition systems where 76 signals at 0.050" pitch provide compact routing without sacrificing reliability. Its SMT form factor supports automated assembly in volume production environments. The part also serves as a high-reliability interface in mil-aero and instrumentation applications requiring stable contact resistance over many mating cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions does the SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K provide, and what is the contact pitch?
The SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K provides 76 positions in a dual-row layout at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, making it one of the higher-density options in the SFM socket strip family and well-suited for FPGA mezzanine and high-speed daughter-card applications.
What current per contact does the SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K support, and how does the gold plating affect reliability?
Each of the 76 contacts is rated for approximately 1 A, and the gold-plated finish minimizes contact resistance and prevents oxidation, sustaining consistent electrical performance across thousands of mating cycles in environments with temperature cycling or humidity.
For a high-speed FPGA daughter card, why is the 0.050" pitch of SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K preferable to a 0.100" pitch connector?
At 0.050" pitch, the 76-position dual-row SFM connector occupies roughly half the board edge length of an equivalent 0.100" pitch part, leaving more room for power planes, decoupling capacitors, and signal routing traces that are critical for FPGA designs operating at hundreds of MHz.
What mating connector should be paired with the SFM-138-T2-FM-D-A-K in a board stacking assembly?
The SFM socket strip series is designed to mate with SAMTEC's corresponding header strips such as the TSW or TFM series at 0.050" pitch, with mating heights selectable from under 5 mm up to approximately 20 mm depending on the stacking height required by the mechanical design.
