Samtec SEARAY right-angle pitch socket array

Samtec’s right-angle SEARAY 0.80 mm pitch socket array is suitable for micro backplane applications, with up to 50% board space savings compared to 1.27 mm pitch SEARAY interconnects. The open pin field design allows for maximum grounding and routing flexibility with up to 500 total Edge Rate contacts.

The ultrahigh-density right-angle socket array (SEAF8-RA Series) features a choice of eight or 10 rows, up to 50 contacts per row and high-speed performance of 28+ Gbps. Optional guide post holes are available for blind mating. Individual high-power modules with press fit tails (UBPT/UBPS Series) are an add-on option for greater system flexibility. Additionally, the mating micro coax cable assembly (ESCA Series) features 34 AWG micro ribbon coax cable, a signal-to-ground ratio of 4:1 and optional screw downs.

Samtec’s Edge Rate contact system increases cycle life and minimises the effects of broadside coupling, which decreases cross-talk for good signal integrity performance and impedance control. The rugged contact system is also less prone to damage when ‘zippered’ during unmating. Lead-free solder charge terminations simplify IR reflow termination and improve solder joint reliability.
