Frequently Asked Questions
What does the FlexYZ designation mean for the SQT-108-03-F-D, and how many axes of misalignment does it tolerate?
FlexYZ is SAMTEC's self-alignment technology built into the SQT-108-03-F-D socket that accommodates positional misalignment in the X, Y, and Z axes simultaneously. The spring-loaded contacts float within the housing to compensate for board-level tolerance stack-up of approximately ±0.3 mm in planar directions and up to 0.5 mm in the Z (stack height) direction, preventing contact damage and ensuring stable electrical connection in stacked PCB assemblies subject to thermal cycling or vibration.
How many positions does the SQT-108-03-F-D provide in its dual-row layout, and what is the contact pitch?
The SQT-108-03-F-D is an 8-position dual-row socket, providing 4 contacts per row. Based on the SAMTEC SQT series, the contact pitch is 0.100 inch (2.54 mm), compatible with the standard 0.100 inch grid used in evaluation boards, FPGA mezzanines, and industrial I/O modules. The 0.644 inch body length accommodates all 8 contacts with structural clearance for the housing latch features.
Is the SQT-108-03-F-D immediately available or does it require a factory lead time?
The SQT-108-03-F-D carries the Tiger Buy designation, which means SAMTEC maintains in-stock inventory of this part for immediate shipment, typically within 1 to 2 business days from authorized distributors. The factory lead time listed in specifications (approximately 5 weeks) applies only to custom or high-volume orders beyond the stocked quantity, so prototype and low-to-medium volume production orders can be fulfilled without waiting for factory manufacturing cycles.
What contact finish is used on the SQT-108-03-F-D mating interface, and how does it affect connector reliability over repeated mating cycles?
The SQT-108-03-F-D uses gold flash on its mating contacts, providing a thin gold layer (typically 0.1 µm to 0.4 µm) over nickel. Gold flash resists oxidation and maintains contact resistance below 20 milliohms for the expected service life, which is typically rated at 25 to 50 mating cycles for gold flash surfaces. For applications requiring more than 100 mating cycles, SAMTEC offers selective hard gold variants; gold flash is most cost-effective for board-stacking applications where connectors are mated once during assembly.
