Fine-pitch connector achieves 25+ Gbps

2 April 2014 Interconnection

Samtec has expanded its Razor Beam LP product line to include a new ultra fine-pitch, low profile system for applications where space is limited and high-speed performance is required. The 0,50 mm pitch socket and terminal connector strips of the SS5/ST5 series are available in 4 mm, 4,5 mm and 5 mm stack heights. The 4 mm stack height system is rated at 13 GHz (26 Gbps) based on a -3 dB insertion loss point of the system.

This new double-row system increases design flexibility with a choice of 20, 30 or 40 positions. The narrow 5 mm body width of this two-piece system optimises PCB board space, gold plated contacts provide high reliability for increased mating cycles, and surface mount tails ensure board level stability.
