Samtec offers Searay coax cable assembly

The system offers 180 or 240 contacts (six or eight rows, 30 positions per row) on .050in (1.27mm) pitch and mates with Searay open pin field sockets (SEAF-LP series).

Half the contacts are dedicated to grounds.

A 36 AWG, 50ohm coax cable provides single-ended routing ideal for longer assemblies and more complex pin-outs.

The Searay high-density coax cable assembly features Samtec's Edge Rate contact system, which is optimised for signal integrity, low insertion/extraction forces and robust 'zippering' during unmating.

It also comes standard with a positive latching system for increased retention/withdrawal force.

Searay high-density array products also include board-level terminals and sockets, right-angle sockets for perpendicular and micro backplane applications, and high-density flex jumpers.

They feature an open-pin field configuration for maximum routing and design flexibility along with Edge Rate contacts, optional guide ports, and a selection of tin-lead or lead-free solder charged terminations for ease of processing.

Press-fit tail terminations are also in development.
