Samtec's robust Edge Rate™ system minimizes side coupling, reduces crosstalk between adjacent contacts, and offers low insertion/extraction forces, while also supporting a high number of connection and disconnection cycles.
The Edge Rate ™ right-angle (EFM8-RA/ERF8-RA) and edge (ERM8-EM/ERF8-EM) terminals and sockets offer up to 150 I/O in single or differential-pair configurations, with a choice of 10 to 75 contacts per row as standard, depending on the orientation. These are highly rugged connectors suitable for harsh environments.
™ ERM8/ERF8 series plate stacking system . Cable couplings for these connectors include the EyeSpeed ™ 34 AWG micro-coaxial high-speed cable-connector assemblies (ERCD series) and “Direct to Lead” signal integrity assemblies (ERCDA series), high-speed twinax (ERDP series), and high-speed Flex Data Link with Edge Rate™ contacts (ERDL2 series).
