Samtec SEAM Series Straight Surface PCB Header 160 Contacts 1.27 mm Pitch 8 Row Shrouded SEAM-20-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR

Samtec SEAM-20-03.5-S-08-2-A-K-TR straight surface PCB header features 160 male contacts arranged in eight rows with a 1.27 mm pitch, providing a high-density connection for board-to-board interfaces. It incorporates a shrouded design with a robust liquid crystal polymer housing that enhances mechanical strength and thermal stability, making it suitable for industrial and commercial electronics manufacturing.

The connector system is designed for surface mounting and uses gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure dependable electrical conductivity and resistance against corrosion, thereby ensuring longevity in demanding applications. The termination type is solder-based, which aligns with standardized PCB assembly processes.

This PCB header supports a continuous current of up to 1.8 amperes per contact and can safely operate at voltages up to 240 volts. Its operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C enables use in environments that experience extreme cold or heat, such as industrial controls, telecom infrastructures, and automated manufacturing equipment.

The .050" SEARAY™ open-pin-field arrays provide high speed and density, allowing for up to 500 input/output connections, which is ideal for complex electronic systems requiring efficient data transmission. Rugged Edge Rate® contacts minimize insertion and withdrawal forces, further improving connector reliability and ease of assembly.

Stack heights vary between 7 mm and 17.5 mm, allowing designers flexibility in vertical board spacing. This product is dual-sourced by Molex®, ensuring supply reliability for critical production runs. Its shrouded structure protects the contacts and prevents accidental damage during handling and installation.

Supports up to 1.8A current for each contact to maintain stable signal transmission. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts offer excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Liquid crystal polymer housing withstands normal and extreme temperatures effectively.

Shrouded configuration reduces risk of connector damage and wrong assembly. Designed for surface mount solder termination compatible with industry PCB standards. High-density arrangement with 160 contacts across 8 rows optimizes board space.

Ideal for industrial, telecommunications, and manufacturing applications. Compatible with design tools offering 3D models, schematics, and footprints for precise assembly.
