Samtec Micro Card Connectors with Edge Rate Contacts Offer High Speed Design Flexibility
Samtec's High Speed Edge Card Connector System (HSEC8 Series) increases interconnect flexibility through a variety of features and mating options. Connectors may be oriented on boards vertically or edge-mounted and have latching and board lock options for rugged applications.
They have Edge Rate(TM) contacts designed for superior signal integrity through improved impedance control and reduced broadside coupling. These contacts are designed to expose the maximum surface area to pads on the boards while minimizing the area exposed to adjacent leads for the best data transfer rates. Depending on the application, connectors can operate as high as 2.5 GHz in single-ended and 3.5 GHz in differential systems. In some applications, the connector may also allow for looser PCB tolerances than traditional edge-mount connectors.
Typical applications include mating with high speed PCB card interfaces (HSC8 Series), high speed flex jumpers (HSF8 Series), and high speed coax cables (EEDP Series) available from Samtec or other third party suppliers.
Pricing begins at $.11 per contact.
