What are the key features of SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR?
- 180-position open-pin-field array at 0.050 inch pitch enabling scalable high-density board-to-board interconnect
- SEARAY high-speed design supporting differential signaling at multi-gigabit data rates for FPGA and ASIC interfaces
- 6.0 mm mating height providing predictable PCB-to-PCB spacing in stacked-board and mezzanine card designs
- Tape-and-reel (TR) packaging enabling automated SMT pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production environments
- Open-pin-field array architecture allowing flexible signal assignment and mixed signal/power pin configuration
What is SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR used for?
The SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR is used in high-speed mezzanine card and daughtercard applications within FPGA development platforms, network switches, and data center line cards where 180 differential or single-ended signals must be routed at multi-gigabit rates between stacked PCBs. Its SEARAY architecture supports SerDes lanes, LVDS busses, and parallel memory interfaces in signal-integrity-sensitive backplane designs. The 6.0 mm stack height accommodates passive components on the lower PCB while maintaining a compact overall board stack profile in server blades and communications equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What data rate performance can be expected from the SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR in a high-speed differential signal application?
Samtec SEARAY connectors are characterized for high-speed differential signaling and are typically rated to support data rates of 10 Gbps or higher per differential pair when properly terminated. The 0.050 inch pitch open-pin-field array minimizes crosstalk between adjacent signals, making it suitable for PCIe, SRIO, and JESD204B interfaces in FPGA and ASIC carrier board designs.
How does the 6.0 mm mating height of the SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR influence PCB stack design in a mezzanine card application?
The 6.0 mm mating height defines the fixed PCB-to-PCB separation between the carrier and mezzanine boards. This spacing accommodates SMD components up to approximately 5 mm in height on either board surface within the stack, allowing designers to place decoupling capacitors, voltage regulators, and other passive components in the inter-board space without mechanical interference.
With 180 positions in an open-pin-field array, how does a designer assign power and ground pins in the SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR footprint?
The open-pin-field format of the SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR allows any of the 180 positions to be assigned as signal, power, or ground by the PCB designer, unlike fixed-function connectors. Best practice dictates distributing power and ground pins uniformly across the array at a ratio of at least 1 ground pin per 4 to 6 signal pins to provide return current paths and impedance control at multi-gigabit data rates.
Is the SEAF-30-06.0-SM-06-1-A-K-TR compatible with Samtec's SEAM series for a matched board-to-board mating pair?
Yes, the SEAF socket series mates with Samtec's SEAM plug series to form a complete SEARAY board-to-board connector pair at the same 0.050 inch pitch and matching mating height. A SEAF-30-06.0 socket on the carrier board mates with a SEAM-30-06.0 plug on the mezzanine card, providing 180 contacts at the specified 6.0 mm stack height with the high-speed signal integrity characteristics of the SEARAY system.
