Samtec SEARAY SEAFP-RA Series press-fit right-angle socket array

Samtec’s range of SEARAY open pin field arrays has expanded to include a right-angle socket with press-fit terminations for increased design flexibility and high retention. The socket is a high-density solution for micro backplane applications, featuring Samtec’s Edge Rate contact system optimised for signal integrity.

Available in 8- and 10-row designs with up to 500 total I/Os on a 1.27 mm pitch grid, the SEAFP-RA Series press-fit right-angle socket array delivers maximum grounding and routing flexibility, low insertion/extraction forces and high cycle life. Optional guide post holes aid in proper alignment when mating with SEARAY terminal arrays, which are also available in right-angle and press-fit terminations.

The featured Edge Rate contact system increases cycle life and minimises the effects of broadside coupling, which decreases crosstalk for good signal integrity performance and impedance control. The rugged contact system is also less prone to damage when ‘zippered’ during unmating.

SEARAY high-speed, high-density open pin field arrays support 28+ Gbps applications and are Final Inch certified for Break Out Region trace routing recommendations. The open pin field arrays feature a 1.27 x 1.27 mm pitch grid and stack heights from 7 to 40 mm.
