I am a big fan of the TV show Modern Marvels and I recently watched an episode on the evolution of the Assembly Line. The clip focused on the basic principles of the assembly line techniques, and how they have not changed in over 100 years, but the people and the products that exploit the assembly line have. Technological advancements like the assembly line has revolutionized the collaboration efforts of man and machine, ushering in a new era of automation, digitization, and connectivity. … [Read more...]

Using Board Stacking Connectors in Industrial Applications
Many of our Samtec blogs focus on high-speed, high-bandwidth, cutting-edge connector applications rather than simple board stacking connectors. This makes sense because Signal Integrity is a critical issue for many of our customers, and because it’s a more flashy, attention-grabbing, sexy topic. And yes, I did just use the word “sexy” to describe a connector application. And yes, I do need a vacation … Having said that, two-piece, standard pitch (2.54, 2.00, 1.27 mm centerline), … [Read more...]
Micro, Rugged Industrial Connectors: Do They Exist?
The Loch Ness Monster? There's that old, grainy picture. Big Foot? I've seen the video. UFO's? Who knows? But micro, rugged industrial connectors? Come on, that's really hard to believe ... But, industrial electronics is Samtec’s largest selling industry sector, and that's because Samtec has a full line of micro, rugged industrial connectors. Applications include factory automation, embedded computing, robotics, monitoring, vision systems, measurement, motion and process controls, and … [Read more...]
Rugged Interconnects For Industrial Applications
Many industrial electronics OEM designers use the word "rugged" to describe their board-level interconnect needs. While rugged can mean different things to different people, it usually includes the ability to withstand high shock and vibration applications, maintain mechanical and electrical integrity after exposure to both harsh environments and high mating cycles, and provide EMI shielding attributes, to name a few. Designers in the mil/aero, high-performance computing, telecom, and datacom … [Read more...]

Shielded Interconnects For Industrial Applications
Samtec continues to expand its line of shielded interconnects, both board-to-board and cable-to-board systems. These are used in a variety of industries and applications, one being industrial equipment. Shielded interconnects are a good thing because EMI is a four-letter word for most designers. I do and don't mean that literally, although I do know there are three types of people in this world: those who can count and those who can't. Anyway, not to be Captain Obvious, but most … [Read more...]
Connectors Driving Industrial Sensors
In almost any electrical application, you will find hundreds, if not thousands of sensors. Whether they are photoelectric, magnetic, infrared, or retroreflective, all sensors play a crucial part in any automated system. Some applications include tracking, monitoring, communicating, and measuring, all of these taking place simultaneously at rapid rates. As a result, everything from a manufacturing plant to a laboratory becomes much more accurate and efficient. It's easy to see that without … [Read more...]
