Frequently Asked Questions
How many positions and rows does the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A socket strip provide, and what is its pitch?
The SFM-150-L2-S-D-A provides 100 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This compact 2.515" body length accommodates 50 positions per row, enabling high-density signal routing in mezzanine card and board-to-board interconnect designs within a minimal PCB footprint.
What contact finish does the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A use, and why does it matter for long-term reliability?
The SFM-150-L2-S-D-A features gold (30 µin) plating on the mating contacts and tin with a nickel barrier on the termination side. The 30 µin gold finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains low contact resistance over thousands of mating cycles, which is critical for high-reliability industrial, defense, and aerospace applications.
What is Tiger Eye contact technology in the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A, and how does it improve connector performance?
Tiger Eye is SAMTEC's proprietary contact geometry that produces a higher normal force at the mating interface compared to standard stamped contacts. This enhanced spring force improves gas-tight electrical connections, reduces intermittent contact failures under vibration, and extends the rated mating cycle life — making the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A suitable for harsh-environment enclosures with temperatures ranging from -55°C to +125°C.
Is the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A surface mount or through-hole, and what does that mean for PCB assembly?
The SFM-150-L2-S-D-A uses a surface mount termination style, which is compatible with standard SMT reflow assembly processes. Its 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch dual-row footprint requires precise stencil printing and placement, but eliminates the need for through-hole drilling, reducing PCB layer stackup complexity and enabling placement on high-density boards with 100 SMT pads per connector.
How quickly can the SFM-150-L2-S-D-A be sourced, and is it suitable for production volumes?
The SFM-150-L2-S-D-A has a factory lead time of approximately 1 week, making it one of SAMTEC's fast-turnaround connector products. It is stocked globally and available for production volumes through SAMTEC's worldwide distribution network, supporting both prototype quantities and large-scale manufacturing runs with a body length of 2.515" and 100 contact positions per unit.
