BCS-116-L-S-TE – SAMTEC

Overview

The Samtec BCS-116-L-S-TE is a high-density 16-position receptacle connector designed for robust board-to-board interconnection. Its critical operational characteristic is the 0.100″ (2.54mm) pitch, enabling dense component placement, which is crucial for miniaturization in modern electronic systems. However, designers must carefully consider the trade-off between this high density and the potential for increased susceptibility to signal integrity issues at higher frequencies, necessitating meticulous layout and impedance control on the mating PCB. This ensures reliable data transfer and power delivery within demanding applications.
