Key Features
- 96-position dual-row SMT socket strip at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch for maximum signal density on compact PCBs
- High-reliability SAMTEC contact system engineered for consistent performance across extended mating cycles in demanding environments
- Surface mount footprint compatible with standard reflow soldering processes for streamlined SMT board assembly
Applications
The SFM-148-T2-L-D-A is designed for high-signal-count board stacking applications in FPGA development platforms, server mezzanine cards, and telecommunications line cards. With 96 positions at 0.050" pitch, it enables routing of nearly 100 parallel signals in a footprint smaller than equivalent 0.100" pitch alternatives, reducing PCB area requirements for dense multi-layer designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What signal capacity and pitch does the SFM-148-T2-L-D-A socket strip provide?
The SFM-148-T2-L-D-A provides 96 positions in a dual-row configuration at 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, with 48 contacts per row. This capacity accommodates wide parallel buses of 64-bit or 96-bit width needed in FPGA mezzanine boards, server expansion cards, and high-throughput data acquisition systems.
How does the 0.050" pitch of SFM-148-T2-L-D-A benefit PCB area budgets compared to coarser-pitch alternatives?
At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFM-148-T2-L-D-A occupies roughly half the board length of a 0.100" pitch socket carrying the same 96 signals. For FPGA and DSP mezzanine boards where connector rows compete with BGA and decoupling capacitor placements, this 50% length reduction can be decisive in meeting form-factor constraints such as the PCIe half-length card outline.
Is the SFM-148-T2-L-D-A compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly, and what are the key assembly considerations?
Yes, the SFM-148-T2-L-D-A is a surface mount socket designed for standard lead-free reflow assembly with peak temperatures up to approximately 260°C. For a 96-position dual-row part, even paste deposit and controlled reflow profiling are essential to ensure all contacts reach the correct solder joint temperature without thermal damage to the socket housing.
