What are the key features of SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR?

  • Tiger Eye beryllium copper female contacts with 10 µin gold over 50 µin nickel mating plating for long-life reliability
  • Ultra-compact body at 0.115" x 0.12" x 0.18" supporting high-density 0.050" pitch dual-row board interconnects
  • Flexible pin count socket strip design enabling scalable signal routing across modular PCB architectures
  • Tape-and-reel (-TR) packaging for automated SMD pick-and-place assembly with RoHS-compliant materials

What is SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR used for?

The SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR is used in compact mezzanine board connectors, FPGA daughter-card interfaces, and SOM module sockets where a minimal 0.050" pitch dual-row SMD footprint is required for high-density signal routing. Its Tiger Eye beryllium copper contacts ensure reliable mating across repeated insertion cycles in test-and-measurement fixtures and aerospace module interconnects. The flexible pin count form factor makes it adaptable for custom embedded computing modules requiring scalable 4-contact or larger socket strip configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What contact material and plating does the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR use, and how does this affect mating durability?

The SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR uses beryllium copper contacts with 10 microinches of gold over 50 microinches of nickel on the mating surface and tin over nickel on the termination. Beryllium copper provides superior spring force retention over thousands of mating cycles, while the gold plating maintains low contact resistance and prevents oxidation in demanding environments with 4 or more positions active.

How does the 0.050" pitch of the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR benefit space-constrained PCB designs compared to 0.100" connectors?

At 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch, the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR fits dual-row contacts into a body only 0.115" long, roughly half the length required for an equivalent 0.100" pitch connector. This enables engineers designing FPGA mezzanine cards, SOM carrier boards, and avionics modules to double the connector density on boards where PCB real estate is critically limited.

Is the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR suitable for automated production assembly, and what packaging does it ship in?

The -TR suffix indicates the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR ships in tape-and-reel packaging compatible with automated SMD pick-and-place equipment. This allows manufacturers to incorporate the 0.050" pitch socket strips directly into high-volume reflow soldering lines without manual handling, supporting consistent placement accuracy on boards with tight 0.12" x 0.18" body clearances.

What distinguishes the Tiger Eye contact design in the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR from standard stamped socket contacts?

Tiger Eye contacts in the SFMC-102-02-L-D-TR are machined beryllium copper contacts with a wiping action during mating, which clears surface contaminants and ensures a fresh metal-to-metal contact zone on each insertion. This differs from stamped contacts, which rely on spring force alone without wiping, making Tiger Eye connectors preferred for defense and aerospace boards where contact reliability over 500 or more cycles is specified.
