Samtec SS5 Series Straight Surface PCB Socket 160-Contact 2 Row 0.5 mm Pitch Solder SS5-80-3.00-L-D-K-TR

Samtec SS5-80-3.00-L-D-K-TR is a Straight Surface PCB Socket from the SS5 series, designed for 160 contacts arranged in 2 rows with a 0.5 mm pitch suitable for solder termination.

This micro blade and beam slim body socket strip provides high-density interconnects with a maximum stacking height of 4 mm, saving valuable board space. The socket is fabricated from liquid crystal polymer housing to withstand the harshest operating conditions, from -55°C up to +125°C.

Constructed with phosphor bronze contacts plated in gold, the socket ensures reliable electrical connections and durability under repeated mating cycles. The current rating of 1.6A supports typical board-to-board electronic applications where medium power capacity is required.

Its surface mount design and straight orientation facilitate easy integration into compact PCB layouts, supporting advanced board-to-board connector systems with a row pitch of 1.41 mm. The female contact gender is optimized for mating with corresponding male connectors.

The SS5 series supports ultra-low mated stack heights down to 4 mm, enabling high-performance signal transmission at up to 56 Gbps PAM4, making it ideal for advanced high-speed digital and communication equipment.

The socket features a slim body design to maximize PCB real estate available for other components. It operates reliably under extended temperature ranges, making it suitable for industrial, telecommunications, and computing applications.

High-quality gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure low contact resistance and long service life. Compatible with board-to-board connector systems requiring precise 0.5 mm pitch spacing. Ideal for use in electronic manufacturing, research labs, and assembly of embedded systems.
