Introduction

SFM-140-02-S-D-SN-P-TR is a rectangular connector designed for board-to-board and board-to-cable applications. It can be categorized as a header, receptacle, and female socket connector. It features two rows of 14 gold-plated, bifurcated sockets of 2mm pitch. This connector has a surface mount (SMT) pitch which makes it highly compatible for use in space-constrained applications. It is primarily designed to provide a reliable connection between two boards or two horizontal cables.

Application Field

SFM-140-02-S-D-SN-P-TR rectangular connectors with their wide range of features make them suitable in applications such as consumer electronics, automotive, medical equipment, communications, automotive interior lighting, and general lighting. These connectors are also commonly used in various industrial applications where their compact size an vibration resistant design make them very suitable. They are popular in the automotive industry, being used for infotainment and telematics systems.

Working Principle

SFM-140-02-S-D-SN-P-TR is equipped with two rows of 14 gold-plated, bifurcated sockets that are 2mm pitch for board-to-board and board-to-cable applications. The connector is designed with a press-fit option which allows for a secure and reliable connection between the two pieces. The press-fit option uses metal pressure pins which insert into the contact holes on each side of the connector. These contact pins provide a strong, low-resistance connection with minimal cable rattle. Additionally, the gold-plated contacts provide excellent corrosion resistance and ensure the connector offers reliable performance in tough environmental conditions.

Conclusion

SFM-140-02-S-D-SN-P-TR is a highly versatile connector which can be used in a variety of applications. Its low-resistance connections and its ability to withstand tough environmental conditions makes it an ideal choise for board-to-board and board-to-cable applications. Its compact size and press-fit option makes it highly compatible for use in space limited applications. As a result, it is very popular with industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics markets.
