Frequently Asked Questions
What stack height and contact technology does LSEM-120-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR provide for board-to-board designs?
The LSEM-120-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR provides a 3.0 mm mating stack height using Samtec's Razor Beam contact technology. The Razor Beam design features a tuning-fork contact geometry that delivers low insertion force and consistent normal force across all 20 positions, maintaining reliable contact resistance below 20 mΩ. This 3.0 mm height suits thin embedded modules and compact multi-board assemblies where tighter stack heights of 1 mm or 2 mm would constrain component placement between boards.
How do the dual-verify (DV) retention pegs on LSEM-120-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR help during SMT reflow and board assembly?
The dual-verify retention pegs press into corresponding holes in the PCB to mechanically anchor the connector body before and during reflow soldering. This prevents the connector from shifting or tilting when the solder paste melts at reflow temperatures around 250°C, ensuring accurate pad alignment across all 20 positions. After reflow, the pegs provide additional mechanical retention against pull-out forces during repeated board mating cycles, reducing the risk of pad delamination in field-serviceable assemblies.
For which high-speed signal applications is LSEM-120-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR a better choice than a standard 0.100" pitch board connector?
The LSEM Razor Beam series is optimized for high-speed differential signals up to several gigabits per second with controlled impedance, unlike standard 0.100" pitch connectors designed for low-frequency logic signals below 100 MHz. Designers select the LSEM-120-03.0-L-DV-A-N-K-TR for PCIe, LVDS, SGMII, and similar high-speed interfaces on compute modules and FPGA boards where a 3.0 mm stack height and 20-position SMT socket must pass signals with minimal return loss and crosstalk at multi-GHz frequencies.
