Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key electrical specifications of the SFM-142-T2-H-D socket strip?
The SFM-142-T2-H-D features 84 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration at 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch. It is a surface-mount socket designed for high-reliability applications, with gold-plated contacts providing low contact resistance and supporting consistent performance across thousands of mating cycles in industrial and telecom environments.
For which PCB assembly processes is the SFM-142-T2-H-D designed?
The SFM-142-T2-H-D is specifically designed for surface-mount technology (SMT) PCB assembly, compatible with automated pick-and-place equipment and standard reflow soldering at typical lead-free profile temperatures. The 84-position dual-row footprint at 0.050 inch pitch integrates cleanly into high-density PCB layouts for server boards, telecom line cards, and test fixture interfaces.
When should a designer choose SFM-142-T2-H-D over a through-hole 84-pin connector alternative?
Designers should select the SFM-142-T2-H-D surface-mount socket when board thickness constraints, automated assembly, or double-sided PCB population make through-hole solutions impractical. The SMT 0.050 inch pitch dual-row design allows 84 connections in a smaller board area than most through-hole alternatives, making it ideal for compact embedded computing, network equipment, and industrial I/O expansion boards requiring dense signal routing.
What industries and application types are the best fit for the SFM-142-T2-H-D?
The SFM-142-T2-H-D excels in telecommunications infrastructure, server and storage systems, industrial automation, and test and measurement equipment. Its 84-position dual-row 0.050 inch pitch socket supports high channel-count interconnects needed in line cards, compute modules, data acquisition boards, and high-speed digital backplane interfaces where signal density and long-term contact reliability over thousands of mating cycles are critical.
