I can remember a time when most of Samtec's connectors were offered in a Tin-Lead plating option, and we weren't alone in that offering. Long before the days of REACH and RoHS, Tin-Lead was the standard plating offering. In came the early 2000's when the EU introduced the Restriction of Hazarodous Substances (RoHS), and Tin-Lead in electronics had to go in order to be sold within the EU. This left manufacturers in the electronics industry, and the engineers within them updating parts, … [Read more...]

Departing (Virtual) Thoughts from AI Hardware Summit Europe
"Another virtual trade show? Really?" That thought has entered this blogger's mind at least once. Virtual trade shows are the reality for many due to COVID-19, but some still see the benefits of in-person trade shows. With that being said, the trade show industry, especially high-tech, has made great strides in a short time. The diversity of topics and quality of presentations parallels in person events. Take the AI Hardware Summit Europe event as an example. It was originally … [Read more...]
200K+ Interconnect Symbols and Footprints Available via Samtec and SnapEDA

Samtec and its partner SnapEDA are giving engineers more tools to accelerate the design cycle. Our growing partnership has resulted in the availability of over 200,000 symbols & footprints of interconnect from across the Samtec portfolio. Shorter Design Cycles Engineers can spend days creating schematic … [Read more...]
AI Connectors and Solutions for AI Systems
2001: A Space Odyssey. The Terminator. The Matrix. Avengers: Age of Ultron. These and many other Hollywood blockbusters foreshadow the worst fears of some: humankind being cast aside into the ash heap of history by AI-based machine overlords. Is that reality? Not likely, but some AI researchers feel it COULD happen in the decades or centuries to come. It all sounds a bit cataclysmic, but there is no doubt AI is influencing many facets of everyday life. AI-based systems like … [Read more...]
DesignCon 2020: A Technical Renaissance
Samtec loves DesignCon. It’s an opportunity to present our new signal integrity optimized, high-performance interconnect and technology solutions, along with the highest level of support and expertise in the industry. To learn more about these products and solutions, stop by the Samtec Booth, #737. I’m trying to be objective here, but if you’re in California the last week of January (or if you're in any of the other 50 states (or Canada or Mexico)), you need to stop by booth #737 at … [Read more...]
Discrete Wire Component Data Now Available on Samtec.com
As you probably know, discrete wire component data is quite a bit different than just standard socket and terminal mating relationships. When we look at how Samtec approaches discrete wire products, there are several components involved. We not only sell the assemblies, but we also sell the housings, contacts, sockets, terminals, hand tools, and applicators that go into working with these types of products. I won't lie. When this project first came up, we figured it wouldn't be that bad, … [Read more...]

It’s Now Easier Than Ever to Find Product Availability on Samtec.com
One of the major reasons people love Samtec is because of our lighting fast lead times and product availability. While competitor lead-times are measured in multiple weeks or months, ours are often measured in days. Since the early 2000s, website users have always been able to go to our Pricing and Delivery page and run a lookup for a part, but we've now made this information even easier to find and have spread it around in more places throughout the website. We wrote over the summer … [Read more...]
AI, 5G and Automotive – Dispatches from XDF Silicon Valley
The FPGA (or ACAP) universe gathered at the San Jose Fairmount last week during the Xilinx Developer Forum. Engineers, data scientists, analysts, distributors, alliance partners and more came to learn about the latest hardware, software and system level solutions from Xilinx. Xilinx CEO Victor Peng set the theme of the event with his keynote. Xilinx (and thier partner's) business strategies revolve around three key growth drivers: Data Center, 5G and Automotive.
