What are the key features of SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC?

  • 86 positions in a dual-row 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch layout providing high signal density for mezzanine card and embedded computing module sockets
  • Female (FM) through-mount contacts with precision-stamped design ensuring low contact resistance across hundreds of mating cycles
  • Low-clearance (LC) profile minimises board-to-board stacking height, enabling slim form-factor enclosures and tight inter-board gaps
  • High-reliability contact construction rated for demanding environments including military, aerospace, and industrial operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C

What is SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC used for?

SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC is commonly used in FPGA daughter card sockets, mezzanine expansion modules, and embedded computing carrier boards requiring an 86-pin interface at 1.27 mm pitch with through-mount mechanical retention. Its low-clearance design suits sealed industrial enclosures and portable avionics units where board stacking height is limited to a few millimetres. The connector is also deployed in high-channel-count data acquisition modules and signal conditioning boards that demand reliable low-resistance contact performance across the full military temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pin count and pitch does SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC provide for mezzanine board interfaces?

SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC delivers 86 total contacts in a dual-row arrangement at a 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) pitch, with 43 pins per row, accommodating wide data buses and differential signal pairs in a footprint roughly half the size of equivalent 2.54 mm pitch socket strips.

How does the through-mount (T2) termination of SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC affect mechanical retention compared to surface-mount variants?

The through-mount T2 termination inserts contact tails through plated-through holes in the PCB and is soldered from the opposite side, providing stronger mechanical pull-out force than surface-mount pads — beneficial for mezzanine modules subject to shock loads above 50 g or vibration in aerospace and defence equipment.

What does the low-clearance (LC) designation specify for SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC in stacked-board assemblies?

The LC designation limits the above-board connector profile to under 3 mm, enabling total board-to-board stacking heights of 5 mm or below when mated with a compatible 1.27 mm pitch header, which is essential for blade server, embedded-SOM, and compact avionics applications with strict vertical space budgets.

Which thermal range does SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC support and what does it mean for harsh-environment deployments?

SFM-143-T2-FM-D-LC is rated for operating temperatures from -55 °C to +125 °C, allowing the connector to maintain reliable contact resistance of a few milliohms in environments ranging from arctic outdoor deployments to hot chassis-mounted industrial controllers and under-hood automotive test equipment.
