What are the key features of SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR?

  • 30-position latched female board stacking socket with 5.0 mm stack height for precise and secure board separation control
  • SEArray architecture with matte tin over nickel contacts delivers reliable connectivity in demanding board-to-board stack applications
  • RoHS-compliant construction with tape-and-reel packaging supports automated SMT assembly and green electronics requirements

What is SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR used for?

The SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR is engineered for latched board-to-board stacking connections in industrial rack-mounted modules, ruggedized embedded computing platforms, and telecom line cards requiring mechanical retention at a controlled 5.0 mm stack height. The latching mechanism positively locks mating boards together, preventing accidental disconnection in vibration-prone or field-serviceable environments. Its 30-position single-row socket with matte tin contacts is optimized for low-profile board stacks where secure, repeatable connection is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stack height does the SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR maintain between mated boards, and why does that matter?

The SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR is designed for a 5.0 mm board-to-board stack height, providing a precise and controlled gap between mated PCBs. This fixed 5.0 mm separation is critical for enclosure designs where clearance between processor or power components on adjacent boards must be carefully managed to avoid mechanical interference and ensure adequate airflow in compact electronic assemblies.

How does the latching feature of the SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR improve reliability compared to non-latched board stacking connectors?

The latch mechanism on the SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR physically locks the mating boards together after insertion, requiring deliberate force to release. In vibration environments typical of industrial machinery operating at frequencies from 5 Hz to 500 Hz, or during transportation, non-latched connectors can partially unmount and increase contact resistance by several ohms. The latched design maintains full contact engagement across all 30 positions even under sustained mechanical stress.

What contact finish is used on the SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR, and which mating connector family is it compatible with?

The SEAF-30-05.0-S-08-2-A-LP-K-TR uses matte tin over nickel contact finish on both the mating and termination interfaces, suitable for standard reflow and wave soldering at up to 260°C. It is part of SAMTEC's SEArray family and mates with corresponding SEAM-series male board stacking headers. The 30-position single-row socket body measures 2.262 inches long, matching SEArray pitch and row geometry for consistent stack alignment.
