Samtec ships 0.80 mm pitch high-speed edge card sockets from stock New Products | January 30, 2026 By eeNews EuropeSamtec’s Generate 0.80 mm pitch edge card sockets are now available for next-day volume delivery. Advantages over two-piece connector systemsSamtec positions the Generate 0.80 mm pitch edge card sockets as an alternative to conventional two-piece connector systems. Edge card connectors are well suited to modular designs, allowing system upgrades or reconfiguration by simply swapping a printed circuit board. Micro edge card sockets benefit from a shorter signal path because they eliminate one connector interface, which can contribute to improved signal integrity at higher data rates. The Generate 0.80 mm pitch products form part of Samtec’s wider edge card socket strip portfolio, which spans pitches from 0.50 mm to 2.00 mm.
