Samtec SEAM connectors come in multiple heights, indicated in millimeters by the XX.X portion of the SEAM-40-XX.X-S-06-2 example part number. You can order a mating connector for the RMC connector from Samtec, the connector manufacturer, or from a distributor such as Arrow or Avnet.
The height of the mating connector you select to mate to the RMC connector determines the height of the standoffs you need. Samtec requires that standoffs be 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) taller than the combined height of the RMC and mating connectors. Therefore, to determine the required standoff height, you must add the heights of the connectors plus 0.15 mm (0.006 in.).
Component | Manufacturer, Part Number | Height |
---|---|---|
RMC connector | Samtec SEAF-40-06.5-S-06-2-A-K-TR | 6.50 mm (0.256 in.) |
Mating connector | Samtec SEAM-40-03.0-S-06-2-A-K-TR | 3.00 mm (0.118 in.) |
Required additional standoff height | — | 0.15 mm (0.006 in.) |
Total calculated standoff height | — | 9.65 mm (0.380 in.) |
Consult Samtec for alternative heights and options. You must observe keepaways and maximum heights with all RMC and mating connector combinations.
