NEW ALBANY, Ind. – Samtec Inc. in New Albany, Ind., is introducing ERF6 and ERM6 Edge Rate board-to-board connectors for 56-gigabit-per-second PAM4 high-speed, rugged mezzanine applications for industrial, embedded vision, instrumentation and monitoring, drones, and robotics.
These high-density mated set connectors are half the width of previous designs and offer a low-profile 5-millimeter mated height. The ERF6 and ERM6 have two rows of pins while maintaining 2.5-millimeter body width.
Body length of these board-to-board connectors is 11 to 42.8 millimeters with a 0.635-millimeter centerline. Available positions for each row are 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60.
If pull and shear force are a concern, weld tabs are available within the standard part number configuration. The connectors allow 0.9 millimeters of nominal contact wipe for a reliable connection.
To ensure connectors are consistently aligned, polarizing features are molded into the connector body. ERF6 and ERM6 connectors allow for angular and linear misalignment.
