Frequently Asked Questions
What pitch and position count does the MLE-163-01-G-DV socket strip provide for high-density designs?
The MLE-163-01-G-DV is a 126-position single-row socket strip with a 1.00 mm pitch. This fine-pitch, high-count layout provides 126 simultaneous signal or power connections in a compact footprint, making it well-suited for high-density board-to-board interfaces in server blades, FPGA carrier cards, and telecom line cards where board space is at a premium.
How does the Tiger Beam single-beam contact design affect mating reliability in the MLE-163-01-G-DV?
SAMTEC's Tiger Beam single-beam contact design in the MLE-163-01-G-DV provides a controlled, consistent normal force at each of the 126 positions across the 1.00 mm pitch connector. This controlled contact force ensures stable low-resistance electrical connections during repeated mating cycles, even in vibrating industrial environments, while the single-beam configuration reduces per-contact cost versus dual-beam alternatives.
In which high-density interconnect applications is the MLE-163-01-G-DV most commonly specified?
The MLE-163-01-G-DV is most commonly specified in FPGA mezzanine card interfaces, server blade-to-backplane connections, and high-density embedded computing modules where 126 signals at 1.00 mm pitch must be routed reliably. Its compact single-row layout is also used in telecommunications line cards, medical imaging boards, and industrial motion control systems requiring many simultaneous signal paths in a constrained PCB area.
