Samtec Introduces New High Speed Dual Stack Edge Card System
Samtec has recently introduced a new high speed edge card socket that accepts two PCB cards. The connector accommodates two .062” (1.6mm) thick PCB cards. This .8mm (.0315”) pitch system, in a right angled configuration, allows “dual stacked” cards at an industry standard 7mm (.276”) spacing between cards.
The Dual Stack Edge Card Socket (DSEC Series) is available with 30, 40 or 50 Edge Rate™ contacts per row. This rugged contact system is optimized for superior signal integrity and impedance control, high cycles, reduced broadside coupling, and low insertion/withdrawal force.
Lead-free solder charge terminations for easy board processing are standard with tin-lead solder charges available as an alternative option. Additional card spacings and an elevated single-card system are also available.
In addition to this right angle Dual Stack system, Samtec offers Edge Rate™ contact edge card sockets in surface mount and edge mount designs for parallel, perpendicular, and planar board mating. Right angle, edge mount, and vertical stamped contact sockets in .635mm (.025”) and 1mm (.0394”) pitches are also available.
