What are the key features of SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC?

  • 90-position dual-row layout at 1.27 mm (0.050") pitch delivering very high pin-count SMT interconnects in a single connector
  • Low-clearance (LC) design for reduced mated height enabling compact stacked PCB configurations
  • Female (FM) precision-machined socket contacts providing secure mating with matching header pins
  • High-reliability construction suited for repeated mating cycles in defense and aerospace applications

What is SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC used for?

The SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC is used in high-density FPGA mezzanine boards, complex backplane systems, and modular data acquisition platforms requiring 90-pin dual-row connectivity at 1.27 mm pitch. Its low-clearance female socket design supports tightly stacked board pairs in ruggedized embedded systems and signal processing modules. The surface mount footprint enables integration into modern SMT production workflows for telecommunications and industrial automation hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 90-position count of SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC support high-density FPGA mezzanine designs?

With 90 positions in a dual-row layout at 1.27 mm pitch, the SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC provides 45 contacts per row, supporting FPGA I/O banks that require 80 or more signal lines per connector site. This allows FPGA mezzanine cards to route multiple high-speed interfaces including LVDS pairs, power rails, and control signals through a single compact 57 mm footprint.

What mated height does the SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC low-clearance version achieve in a board stack?

The low-clearance (LC) version of SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC achieves a mated stack height typically under 4 mm above the PCB surface, enabling board-to-board separation of approximately 5 mm in compact module assemblies. This is beneficial in avionics and mil-spec enclosures where inter-card spacing is limited to 6 mm to 8 mm.

When should a designer prefer SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC over a 90-position through-hole socket strip?

A designer should choose SFM-145-02-FM-D-LC when the PCB uses full SMT reflow soldering processes without through-hole wave soldering, reducing manufacturing steps for high pin-count connectors. The 1.27 mm pitch SMT footprint also saves approximately 40% PCB area compared to equivalent 2.54 mm through-hole dual-row socket strips with the same 90-pin count.
