Frequently Asked Questions
What stack height and pitch does the SEAF-20-06.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR provide, and which mezzanine card standards does that support?
The SEAF-20-06.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR provides a 6.5 mm board-to-board stack height on a 0.8 mm contact pitch. This stack height is compatible with the VITA 57.1 FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) standard, where 8 mm and 6.5 mm heights are common options. The 0.8 mm pitch supports high-density differential signal routing for multi-gigabit interfaces such as PCIe and JESD204B.
How does the polarization post (K option) on the SEAF-20-06.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR prevent assembly errors in board stacking?
The -K option adds a mechanical polarization post that mates with a corresponding notch or hole in the plug connector. This physically blocks incorrect 180-degree rotation of the mezzanine board during assembly, preventing contact damage on the 40-position 0.8 mm pitch array. It is especially valuable on automated pick-and-place lines processing boards with symmetric-looking connectors where visual inspection alone would miss mis-orientation.
What are the body dimensions of the SEAF-20-06.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR and how do they fit within a standard FMC module footprint?
The body measures 1.229 inches (31.2 mm) in length and 0.421 inches (10.7 mm) in width, with a 0.258 inch (6.5 mm) mated height. These dimensions fit within the VITA 57.1 FMC module boundary, which reserves a defined area for the stacking connector pair, leaving adjacent PCB space for decoupling capacitors and signal escape routing from the 0.8 mm pitch contacts.
For which automated assembly workflows is the tape-and-reel (TR) packaging of the SEAF-20-06.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR most beneficial?
The -TR suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging on a carrier compatible with standard pick-and-place nozzles, typically supporting feeders for connectors with a body up to 32 mm in length. This enables automated SMT placement on high-volume or mixed-technology PCB lines at rates exceeding 1000 placements per hour, eliminating manual connector loading steps that would be required with tray or tube packaging.
