Overview

The ARF6-16-S-RA is a high-density, right-angle board-to-board socket from Samtec's ARF6 series, featuring 32 positions (based on distributor data) or 25 positions (based on series configuration) on a 0.635 mm pitch. This rugged connector is designed with shielding for signal integrity and integrated latches for secure mechanical retention in high-vibration environments. The right-angle orientation and surface-mount termination make it ideal for low-profile, space-constrained mezzanine or perpendicular PCB architectures.

Why Choose This Part

The connector features 30 micro-inches of gold plating on the contacts for high reliability and 1.2A current capacity per pin. Its shielded design minimizes EMI, while the slim right-angle form factor enables efficient airflow and dense packaging on the PCB edge.

Applications

Mezzanine Board Stacking
Ideal for connecting high-speed peripheral boards to a main system board where vertical height is limited.
High-Density Data Communications
Used in networking equipment requiring shielded high-speed signal paths in a compact footprint.
Rugged Industrial Computing
The integrated locking latches ensure connection stability in industrial systems subject to constant vibration.
