Frequently Asked Questions
What stacking height and pin count does the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR provide?
The SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR provides 100 positions in a single-row stacking configuration with a 3.50 mm stacking height and 8 mm post length. This precise stacking height ensures correct board separation in multi-board assemblies, maintaining signal integrity and mechanical clearance between stacked PCBs in compact computing and networking systems.
Why is gold-over-nickel contact finish significant for the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR in high-cycle applications?
The 30 µin gold over 50 µin nickel contact finish on the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR provides excellent oxidation resistance and maintains low contact resistance over many mating cycles compared to tin-finished contacts. Gold plating is particularly important in board stacking connectors for server and telecom equipment where connectors may be mated and unmated dozens of times during system integration, maintenance, or field upgrades.
How does the peg board mounting option on the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR improve assembly reliability?
The peg mounting feature on the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR physically anchors the connector body to the PCB before and during soldering, preventing movement and misalignment of the 100-position contact array. This is especially valuable for a 2.696-inch long connector where thermal expansion during reflow soldering could otherwise cause positional drift, resulting in solder bridges or insufficient solder joints across the full pin row.
In which multi-board system architectures is the SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR most commonly used?
The SEAM-50-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR is most commonly used in backplane-to-daughter-card interconnection in ATCA telecommunications systems, VME or VPX embedded computing backplanes, and server mezzanine card interfaces where a 3.50 mm board separation is required and 100 signals must be reliably routed between boards. Its single-row 2.696-inch body accommodates high signal counts in a narrow footprint suited to standard slot-pitch architectures in rack-mounted equipment.
