Samtec ships 2mm PCB connectors with 28Gbps NRZ

SLH/TLH PCB board-to-board connectors are part of Samtec’s Ultra Micro line of products that maximise overall space and offer reliable connections in high data rate rugged environments such as automotive, industrial IOT, robotics, and military and aerospace.

Space savings

For overall space savings, in addition to an extremely low 2mm stack height, the SLH/TLH mated board-to-board connector set has a narrow width of 4.70mm (.185") and a dense length of 9mm (0.356") with 20 total positions. Higher density signal routing is available with connectors of 40- or 60-total pins at slightly longer lengths. High pin density of the stacking board-to-board connectors is enabled by use of a micro blade and beam contact system, which has a blade on one side and beam on the other, on a 0.50mm (.0197") ultra-fine pitch.

Ease of processing

Precision placement onto the printed circuit board is enabled by the pick-and-place polyimide film pad that allows a vacuum machine to lift the surface mount technology (SMT) board-to-board connector and place it onto a printed circuit board. Samtec makes adhering to tight processing tolerances for ultra micro interconnects easy by having supporting documentation accessible on samtec.com.

SLH/TLH Ultra Micro, 2mm stack height board-to-board PCB connectors are in stock and available now directly from Samtec or through authorised distributors.
