Low-profile connector system
17 April 2013
Interconnection
Samtec’s line of Razor Beam interconnects now includes a new ultra-low-profile, micro pitch system ideal for high-speed performance in space-saving applications.
New Razor Beam LP low-profile socket and terminal strips (SSH/STH series) achieve a low 2,00 mm stack height with surface mount termination to the board (2,50 mm and 3,00 mm stack heights are currently in design). This 0,50 mm pitch interconnect system features contacts designed for micro-pitch and low-profile interfaces.
This system features a double-row, slim body design for increased PCB board space savings with 20, 40 and 60 total pin counts (80 and 100 total pin counts are in development). Weld tabs are optional for easy board processing as well as for more rugged applications.
Razor Beam LP products also include a low-profile, ultra-fine 0,40 mm pitch system (SS4/ST4 series) with stack heights from 4,00 mm to 6,00 mm. The socket and terminal strips feature up to 100 positions on a double-row, extra narrow body design for PCB real estate savings.
