What are the key features of SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A?
- 86-position dual-row SMT socket on 1.27 mm (0.050-inch) pitch enabling high-density board-to-board signal routing in mezzanine card and expansion module designs
- High-reliability gold-plated micro-terminal contacts rated for 200+ mate-unmate cycles with contact resistance below 20 milliohms for stable signal integrity
- T2-STL termination variant provides straddle-mount tail configuration for controlled-impedance PCB stack-ups supporting differential signals above 3 GHz
What is SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A used for?
The SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A is designed for high-density board-to-board interconnect on FPGA mezzanine boards, high-speed communication expansion cards, and industrial backplane systems where 86 signals must be routed in a compact 1.27 mm pitch SMT footprint. Its straddle-mount tail configuration suits applications requiring precise impedance control for multi-gigabit differential signaling across card edges. The high-reliability contact system also makes it appropriate for ruggedized computing and test equipment platforms subject to vibration and repeated insertion cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the position count, pitch, and contact rating of the SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A?
The SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A provides 86 positions arranged in dual rows on a 1.27 mm (0.050-inch) pitch. Each gold-plated micro-terminal contact is rated for up to 1 A continuous current with contact resistance below 20 milliohms, making it suitable for both high-density signal and light power distribution across board-to-board interfaces in SMT assemblies.
How does the straddle-mount (STL) tail configuration of the SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A benefit high-speed differential signal routing?
The STL straddle-mount tail places the contact tail at the PCB edge rather than on the surface, allowing PCB designers to route differential pairs with 100-ohm impedance directly to the connector without excess stub length. This geometry reduces discontinuities in the transmission line and supports signal integrity at frequencies above 3 GHz per differential pair, which is critical for PCIe, SATA, and similar high-speed protocols.
How does the 86-position SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A differ from the 88-position SFM-144 and which design scenario favors each?
The SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A has 86 pins while the SFM-144 series provides 88 pins, a difference of 2 positions and approximately 2.5 mm in connector body length at 1.27 mm pitch. Designs where the PCB edge length budget allows only 86 pins before reaching a mechanical keepout or board cutout benefit from the SFM-143; designs with available edge length and additional signal count requirements use the SFM-144.
Is the SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A compatible with lead-free reflow soldering and what peak reflow temperature does it support?
Yes, the SFM-143-T2-STL-D-A supports lead-free SMT reflow soldering at peak temperatures up to 260°C in accordance with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020. The connector housing withstands up to 3 reflow passes without dimensional distortion, making it suitable for double-sided SMT assemblies common in high-density production environments.
