Frequently Asked Questions
What is the contact pitch and row configuration of the SFM-142-T2-F-D?
The SFM-142-T2-F-D features a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch with a dual-row layout, providing 84 total positions. This compact pitch allows high-density interconnects on space-constrained PCB designs used in industrial and telecom applications.
How many mating cycles is the SFM-142-T2-F-D rated for, and what plating is used on the contacts?
SAMTEC SFM series socket strips are typically rated for 500 or more mating cycles. Contacts use gold plating over nickel, which ensures low contact resistance below 20 milliohms and reliable signal transmission in demanding environments including test and measurement equipment.
Which PCB assembly processes are compatible with the SFM-142-T2-F-D surface mount package?
The SFM-142-T2-F-D uses a surface mount (SMT) package compatible with standard reflow soldering processes at peak temperatures up to 260°C. This supports automated pick-and-place assembly for high-volume PCB production in telecommunications, data storage, and industrial control systems.
When would an engineer choose the SFM-142-T2-F-D over a through-hole socket strip of the same 84-position count?
Engineers choose the SFM-142-T2-F-D surface mount variant over through-hole alternatives when board space is limited and double-sided PCB mounting is required. The SMT footprint reduces board thickness requirements and enables higher placement density, especially in 1.27 mm pitch dual-row configurations used in compact embedded computing modules.
