If you're wondering why we missed a month for the web update, it's because in January we took some time to review the previous year and just recently we shined a light on things to come next. Take a look at those two posts for things you may have missed from 2023 and things that are yet to come. Now let's get back to your regularly scheduled monthly web updates! In January, we shined more light on our Reserve® program across the website, built an entirely new Industrial Automation product … [Read more...]

The Role of Components in Safety and Reliability
The industrial world creates a dangerous workplace. From the highly automated factory floor to heavy industries such as mining, it is vital that we apply standards that ensure workers and equipment are kept safe from harmful conditions, and that our systems deliver reliable service. In some applications, it is possible for engineers to use products that are tested to recognized international standards. When protecting equipment from tough environments, manufacturers have adopted the … [Read more...]

The Challenge of Vertical Farming – Part 2
In the first article of this series about vertical farming, we looked at the trends that have led to the emergence of this new technology. The challenges of a growing global population, climate change and competing uses for agricultural land mean that farmers are looking for alternative ways of producing food. Vertical farming is one approach to solving this problem by using urban or industrial spaces to grow crops. In this article, we will look at some of the technology that is making … [Read more...]
An Optical Illusion? Maximum Signal Density and Design Flexibility
Samtec FireFly™ mid-board optical cable systems boast the industry’s leading miniature footprint, enabling maximum signal density, and of course signal integrity over longer distances. That's a good thing because designers are facing longer-reach applications, increasing bandwidths, and tighter spaces. FireFly™ mid-board optical cable assemblies provide high-performance versatility for data rates up to 28 Gbps per channel. The miniature footprint allows for higher density and closer proximity … [Read more...]
The Challenge of Vertical Farming – Part 1
This is the first part of a two-part series about some of the most exciting innovations in the world of agriculture - vertical farming. We will look at the challenges it presents to the designers tasked with making it a reality. In the second part, we will investigate how Samtec customers are at the forefront of this new technology, and some of the innovative ways they can turn any space into a farm. Farmers have always been amongst the first to adopt new ways of working. From the wheel and … [Read more...]
Benefits of Edge Card Connectors: Let Me Count The Ways
Benefits of Edge Card Sockets Whereas most Samtec board-to-board connectors are two-piece systems, edge card connectors provide an interface between two boards with just one connector. There are several reasons why a designer may choose an edge card socket over a two-piece system. First, edge card connectors are great for modular designs; designers can easily upgrade or configure their system by swapping out the board. Also, they make it easy to plug and unplug a mating card that … [Read more...]
Bishop and Associates: The Impact of China and COVID-19
I get dizzy when I think about the changes that took place in the connector industry in the last decade or so. New technologies, industries, processes, markets, products, and systems, from AI, to EV, to 5G, to robotics, to the cloud, to globalization, to exploding data rates, and to infinity and beyond. Two major changes in the world of connectors were the explosion of manufacturing in China, and more recently, COVID-19's impact on the industry. Who better than our friend Ron Bishop, of … [Read more...]
