Space-Saving High Speed Interconnect System from Samtec

Samtec has recently expanded its high speed, micro rugged interconnect offering with the addition of a self-mating, high speed connector system that maximizes PCB real estate with its super-slim body design.

The high speed, high density .635mm (.025”) hermaphroditic terminal/socket strip (LSS Series) features a slim row-to-row design for superior real estate savings and is rated 9GHz DP.  A .5mm (0197”) pitch version is currently in design.

The self-mating system is available with up to 50 pins per row in a double-row design and offers stack height variety and flexibility with a range of mated heights from 6mm to 12mm.

Low cost Razor Beam™ contacts and the inventory-reducing, self-mating design make this strip a cost-effective solution for high speed board level applications.  The rugged design offers an insertion depth of 2,36mm (.093”) and a contact wipe of 1,78 mm (.070”) system also includes a standard friction lock for increased normal force and a shroud with an audible click when properly mated.  An application specific locking clip is also available.
