Samtec - High-speed Edge Rate interface family expanded

With a new line on 0.5mm pitch options, Samtec has expanded its established
line of 0.8mm pitch Edge Rate contact interfaces (ERM8/ERF8 Series) for
board stacking applications.
Featuring rugged Edge Rate contacts, the systems are seen as ideal where
signal integrity and durability are critical. They provide superior
impedance matching, reduced broadside coupling and crosstalk, low insertion
and withdrawal forces, and high cycles.
The ERM5/ERF5 Series initial offering provides from 20 to 100 I/Os with 7mm
and 10mm stack heights. The system is robust when 'zippered' during
unmating. For perpendicular board applications, a mating right-angle socket
strip is already in development.
The 0.8mm pitch system offers performance to 10.5GHz at -3dB IL for 10 to
150I/Os. It is the interconnect of choice for emulation applications and
specified by NEXUS5001.org, POWER.org, and ARM/HSSTP. It is also available
for perpendicular and co-planar applications along with mating high speed
jumper cables, says the company.
