Frequently Asked Questions
What dimensional standards does the SFP structural part conform to?
The structural part is manufactured to conform to the SFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) mechanical specification, which defines the outer envelope, PCB edge connector interface, and bail latch geometry. This ensures compatibility with standard SFP host cages from all major connector manufacturers.
What die casting alloy is used and how does it affect EMI performance?
The part is cast from zinc or aluminum alloy, both of which provide good electrical conductivity for EMI shielding continuity when the module is seated in the host cage. The alloy selection and surface finish are optimized to maintain low-impedance contact with the cage ground path.
Can the SFP structural part be customized for proprietary module designs?
Yes, CZT supports custom die casting tooling for SFP structural parts with modified dimensions, additional mounting features, or proprietary form factors. NRE tooling costs and lead times apply. CZT provides DFM review, prototype samples, and first-article inspection before volume production release.
