Edge Card sockets
Samtec's Edge Card sockets with signal-integrity-optimised Edge Rate contacts are suitable for high-speed micro-board-to-board and micro-backplane applications.
They are said to offer excellent performance in a cost-efficient, one-piece, direct card-to-board design.
The 0.8mm (.0315) pitch High Speed Edge Card sockets (HSEC8 Series) are available in vertical, edge-mount and right-angle designs for perpendicular and coplanar applications, with up to 60 contacts per row.
The system draws on the electrical performance of the Edge Rate contacts, which are optimised for signal-integrity performance and reduced crosstalk to achieve performance ratings to 8GHz (SE) and 10.5GHz (DP) at -3dB insertion loss.
The sockets accept standard 0.062 (1.60mm) PCB cards and also mate with Samtec's high-speed 100 and Dagger; Twinax Edge Card Cable Assembly (EEDP Series); and high-speed Flex Data Links (HSF8 Series).
Optional rugged board locks and cable latches, as well as application-specific guide rails, are also available.
Samtec offers a number of high-speed and high-density board-level, cable and I/O interfaces that may be used for add-on boards, creative packaging solutions, or increasing I/O density.
