Samtec recommends mating the board-to-board connector by aligning the leads and then applying gentle pressure, starting from the center of the connector and working towards the edges to prevent damage.
The polarizing tabs on the CLM-118-02-LM-D connector should be oriented correctly to ensure proper mating. Make sure to align the tabs on the plug and receptacle during assembly to prevent mis-mating and ensure reliable connections.
The CLM-118-02-LM-D connector has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics.
While the CLM-118-02-LM-D connector is not specifically designed for high-frequency applications, it can be used up to 3GHz with careful PCB design and signal routing. However, for frequencies above 3GHz, Samtec recommends using their high-frequency connector series, such as the HF1 / HF2 series.
Samtec recommends a torque of 0.25-0.50 in-lbs (2.8-5.6 N-cm) for securing the CLM-118-02-LM-D connector to the PCB using the recommended screws and standoffs.
