Edge Rate® Rugged, High-Speed Terminal and Socket Strips
Samtec’s ERF8/ERM8 series use the Edge Rate® contact system that is designed for high speed, high cycle applications. The surface of the Edge Rate® contact is milled creating a smooth mating surface area instead of a stamped contact that mates on a cut edge. This smooth mating surface reduces the wear tracks on the contact increasing the durability and cycle life of the contact system. It also lowers insertion and withdrawal forces allowing the connectors to be zippered when unmating.
