What are the key features of SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR?

  • 180-position open-pin-field array socket on 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch enabling extremely high-density board-to-board interconnects
  • SEARAY high-speed architecture supports signal integrity requirements for GHz-class FPGA, processor, and memory interfaces
  • Tape-and-reel packaging (TR suffix) with keyed alignment (K option) for automated assembly and error-free mating

What is SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR used for?

The SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR is designed for high-performance computing, FPGA development boards, and advanced telecom line cards where 180 high-speed signal lines must cross a board-to-board interface in minimal PCB area. The SEARAY open-pin-field architecture allows designers to assign any pin function freely, maximising routing flexibility for differential pairs, power, and ground connections. Its fine 0.050" pitch makes it a preferred solution for space-constrained multi-board assemblies in servers, data acquisition systems, and software-defined radio platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many positions does the SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR provide, and what is the connector pitch?

The SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR provides 180 positions on a fine 0.050" (1.27 mm) pitch. This high-density configuration allows up to 180 signals, power, or ground connections within a compact PCB footprint, making it ideal for FPGA and processor board-to-board interfaces where pin count exceeds 100.

For an FPGA development board operating at multi-GHz data rates, how does the SEARAY architecture support signal integrity?

The SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR uses SAMTEC's SEARAY high-speed open-pin-field architecture, which is engineered to support differential pair routing and controlled impedance at data rates exceeding 10 Gbps per channel. The open-pin-field design allows engineers to assign ground and signal pins flexibly, optimising return current paths for superior signal integrity in high-speed designs.

What does the K option in the SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR designator indicate, and why is it important?

The K option in the SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR indicates a keyed connector body that mechanically prevents incorrect orientation during mating. On a 180-position array with 0.050" pitch pins, mating in the wrong orientation could instantly damage a large number of signal lines, so the keying feature is critical for safe assembly and field servicing of multi-board systems.

When would a designer select the SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR over a lower-density 0.100" pitch alternative?

A designer selects the SEAF-30-05.0-STL-06-2-A-K-TR when a design requires more than 100 board-to-board signal connections within a PCB area budget that rules out 0.100" pitch connectors, which would occupy roughly 4 times more area for the same pin count. The 0.050" pitch provides a significant footprint reduction, critical for compact server blades, high-density FPGA carrier boards, and stacked daughtercard assemblies.
