Right-angle interconnect

Samtec has expanded its Searay high-density open pin field interconnect family with a range of right-angle sockets for perpendicular and high-speed micro backplane applications.

The SEAF-RA series sockets have a 1.27 x 1.27 mm grid array for maximum grounding and routing flexibility and are optimised to reduce skew and impedance mismatch.

They feature Edge Rate contacts - designed for signal integrity - reduced broadside coupling and crosstalk, and high cycles.

The sockets are available in four-row (up to 200 contacts) and six-row (up to 300 contacts) configurations. Eight-row (up to 400 contacts) and 10-row designs (up to 500 contacts) along with a right-angle terminal (SEAM-RA series) are in the final stages of development.
