A few weeks ago as I write this post, we rolled out a brand new version of our product configurator. This tool allows users to configure all of the options of a product to arrive at a full part number. These are options such as rows, positions, plating, orientation, latching, packaging, and more. The upgrade brings a new user interface that is easier to use, as well as enhanced tools throughout various products. It's also much more clear what the user needs to do once they see the … [Read more...]

3D Models in Under a Minute, No Login Required
The number of 3D models requested from Samtec.com has skyrocketed over the last few years. Our previous online 3D model tooling worked fairly well, and our internal support group was able to accommodate requests when it didn't, but being the connector industry service leader, we just weren't satisfied with the user experience and speed of that old tooling, and neither were a number of our web users. Because of this, one of our main goals with the website this year has been to beef up our … [Read more...]

This system allows users to control various personalized settings that improve user experiences throughout the website. To start out, we added things such as shipping preferences, address management, distributor preferences, password settings, and a few more. These have been well received and used widely by Samtec.com users with an account. We're happy to announce that we've just launched a new … [Read more...]
3D Printing Connectors
In a time of 3D printers in many engineers' (and future engineers) shops, labs, or basements, we keep looking for ways to produce parts faster. You may be asking how far away are we from 3D printing connectors. When is Samtec going to replace all its automation with a bunch of shiny 3D printers? Can I get my parts faster if I make them myself? As a director of a regional makerspace, we deal with 3D printers every day and get questions from every direction of “what can I make with … [Read more...]

100,000+ Connector ECAD Models Now Available on SnapEDA
Samtec is releasing new digital ECAD models for over 100,000 of its products on SnapEDA, the industry-leading circuit board design library. Traditionally, designers have spent days creating digital ECAD models - such as symbols and footprints - for each component in their designs. Creating ECAD connector models is especially time-consuming due to their non-standard shapes, pitches, pads, and cutouts. With this new collaboration designers can now easily discover, download, and design with … [Read more...]
Best Practices For Connector Models
Eric Bogatin, Signal Integrity guru and friend of Samtec, recently posted a blog on “Best Practices For Connector Models.” He posted this on his Signal Integrity Journal website. Eric spoke with two of the worlds’ experts on high frequency electrical characterization of interconnects: Samtec’s own Jim Nadolny, our Principle SI Engineer, and Heidi Barnes, the ADS application engineering specialist with Keysight Technologies. Heidi and Jim cover a lot of topics, from S-parameter … [Read more...]
