Frequently Asked Questions
How many signal contacts does the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P provide and what is the pin pitch?
The SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P provides 84 contacts arranged in a dual-row configuration on a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high pin density is well suited for backplane and daughtercard designs where many signals must be routed across a compact PCB interface.
In which harsh-environment applications is the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P typically deployed?
SAMTEC SFM-series connectors including the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P are used in telecom base stations, military-grade test rigs, and industrial automation panels. The connector handles temperatures from -55°C to +125°C, making it reliable across environments subject to thermal cycling, vibration, and humidity.
What current rating should engineers use per contact when designing power distribution through the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P?
SAMTEC SFM-series contacts are typically rated at approximately 1 A per pin at room temperature. For the 84-pin SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P, designers should derate contact current in elevated-temperature enclosures and account for mutual heating from adjacent loaded contacts per SAMTEC's published derating curves.
Does the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P comply with RoHS and lead-free manufacturing requirements?
Yes, the SFM-142-02-FM-D-A-P is manufactured to RoHS-compliant, lead-free standards, using tin-over-nickel or gold plating on contact surfaces. This ensures the connector meets EU RoHS 2 and REACH regulations for export to international markets in Europe and Asia.
