What are the key features of SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K?
- 86-position dual-row configuration at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch enabling high signal-count SMT board-to-board connections
- STL (short tail) termination variant optimized for low-profile SMT solder joints with minimal standoff height
- Keyed housing (K suffix) enforces correct insertion orientation, eliminating mating errors in production and field use
What is SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K used for?
The SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K is designed for use in FPGA mezzanine cards, high-channel-count data acquisition boards, and industrial embedded modules requiring 86-pin dual-row socket connectivity with a low-profile SMT footprint. The short-tail (STL) termination style is particularly advantageous in applications where board clearance is minimal and consistent solder joint height is critical for reliable PCB assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the STL designation in SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K specify about the connector termination?
The STL designation stands for short tail, referring to the reduced length of the SMT termination leads on the SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K. This results in a lower solder joint standoff height compared to standard tail lengths, which is important in tight board-to-board stacking configurations where clearances are under 5 mm.
How many signal positions and at what pitch does SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K support?
The SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K provides 86 positions in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch. This combination delivers 86 signal channels within a compact SMT footprint, and the keying feature ensures all 86 positions are correctly aligned during mating in automated assembly or manual installation.
Is SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K a suitable alternative to SFM-143-T2-S-D-A for the same 86-pin application?
Both connectors serve 86-position dual-row applications at 1.27 mm pitch, but the SFM-143-02-STL-D-A-K differs in offering a short-tail SMT termination and mechanical keying, whereas SFM-143-T2-S-D-A uses a different tail variant without keying. Designers requiring at least 100 mating cycles, mismating prevention, and a lower SMT solder profile should prefer the STL-D-A-K variant.
