Introduction:
This 20-pin SMT SFP socket mounts directly onto host PCBs to interface with standard optical and copper transceivers. It is designed to work inside SFC series cages, which provide mechanical port guidance and EMI containment. Copper alloy contact terminals feature 30u” heavy gold plating over a nickel underplate. This thick gold barrier delivers superior fretting corrosion protection, extending mating durability in demanding deployments. Molded from high-temperature UL 94V-0 thermoplastic, the housing withstands automated SMT reflow soldering without warping. Surface-mount solder tails maintain precise coplanarity for dependable board attachment. Operating across -40°C to +85°C, this socket suits enterprise core switches, optical transport nodes, and telecom base stations.
