What are the key features of SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR?

  • 240-position open-pin-field array on 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch delivers massive contact density for high-bandwidth board-to-board interconnects
  • SEARAY high-speed architecture supports signal transmission up to 56 Gbps per channel for next-generation PCIe, 100G Ethernet, and FPGA mezzanine designs
  • Gold-plated (GP) contacts with surface mount tail provide low contact resistance below 20 milliohms and corrosion resistance for long service life

What is SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR used for?

The SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR is engineered for high-bandwidth mezzanine board connections in data center switches, FPGA accelerator cards, and high-performance computing platforms. Its 240-position SEARAY open-pin-field array allows custom signal assignment including differential pairs, single-ended signals, and power pins within the same connector footprint. The 0.050-inch pitch and surface mount design enable compact PCIe Gen 4/5 and 100G Ethernet carrier board implementations with minimal insertion loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What signal data rate can the SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR support for PCIe or Ethernet mezzanine designs?

The SEARAY SEAF series supports signal speeds up to 56 Gbps per differential pair channel, making it compatible with PCIe Gen 5 (32 GT/s per lane), 100G Ethernet, and 400G PAM4 applications where insertion loss must remain below -3 dB across the full 28 GHz Nyquist bandwidth.

How does the 240-position open-pin-field array design of the SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR benefit FPGA daughter card implementations?

The open-pin-field configuration allows designers to freely assign any of the 240 contacts as differential pairs, single-ended signals, power pins, or ground returns without fixed signal mapping, enabling an FPGA daughter card to route exactly the required mix of 56 Gbps SerDes lanes, LVDS pairs, and 3.3 V power through a single 30-row by 8-column connector array.

What is the contact pitch of the SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR, and how does it compare to 0.100-inch alternatives for board space savings?

The SEAF series uses a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) pitch, which is half the grid of standard 0.100 inch connectors, allowing 240 contacts to be housed in an area that would require a 480-position connector at 0.100 inch pitch, reducing the connector footprint by approximately 75% and freeing PCB real estate for additional signal routing layers.

Does the tape-and-reel (TR) packaging of the SEAF-30-06.5-SM-08-2-A-GP-K-TR support automated SMT assembly in high-volume production?

Yes, the TR suffix confirms tape-and-reel delivery suitable for automated pick-and-place SMT machines, with the SM (surface mount) tail style providing co-planar solder contacts that reflow at standard 260°C peak temperature per J-STD-020, achieving consistent solder joint quality across production runs of thousands of assemblies.
