Embedded systems and Artificial Intelligence seem to be the leading trends in the Mil/Aero Market. Industry manager Chuck Grantz agrees with articles written in COTS Journal, Military & Aerospace Electronics, and Electronic Specifier, to name a few. Increasing embedded systems and sensors closer to the end use, as well as utilizing Artificial Intelligence to assist and improve performance seem to be mentioned across all applications. How is Samtec prepared for this? Are … [Read more...]

Love Connection… Samtec’s most loved connector
Love is in the air around Samtec. As we make it through February, we are reminded of Valentines Day and how much we love our families, our jobs, and you! Plus, it is very cool around our headquarters in Southern Indiana. We had a lovely ice warning and woke up to about ½” (12.7mm) of ice coating most things around the factory. What else can you do except stay home and be with the ones you love… or maybe it is time to find that love connection you have been looking for! Electronic … [Read more...]
Worried about Connector Skew, or… Skew It!
A mechanical look at connector skew in your systems. Electrical and Mechanical requirements collide when looking at interconnects in your electrical system. What can you do about it, how do you plan for it, and how do you pick the most rugged solution that still carries the data rate you are looking for? As a 20 year mechanical engineer with Samtec, my early years were focused on making sure our MHz speed connectors would pass lead free reflow temperatures and the newer … [Read more...]
Break Out Region Design By Inspection
Samtec gEEk® spEEk is a series of free online seminars, covering a wide-range of topics, all commercial-free. gEEk spEEk allows engineers the opportunity to interact with signal integrity thought leaders and experts like DesignCon Engineer of the Year Istvan Novak, Scott McMorrow, and a number of other Samtec engineering leaders. Travis Ellis, a Signal Integrity Engineer at the Samtec Wilsonville (OR) Cable Facility, recently presented "Break Out Region Design By Inspection." The purpose of … [Read more...]
A Performance Comparison of Air-Cooled vs. Immersion Cooled Connector Systems
As computing power continues to increase, air cooled systems cannot meet current thermal requirements for HPC hardware systems. Power consumption, space and performance must all be considered during system design. Immersion cooling is a fast-growing solution to economically combat system heat, noise, power consumption and compute density. Samtec’s Brian Niehoff presented “Thermal Management of HPC Hardware Architecture via Immersion Cooling” at the Exhibitor Forum at SC20. Brian’s … [Read more...]
Solder Processing with Success
Processing a component onto a PCB used to be fairly straightforward. Through-hole products, or a single or double row surface mount with a larger centerline rarely offer unique challenges obtaining a proper solder joint. However, as electronics continue to get smaller and connectors become more dense, there is a need to ensure that the inner rows of the connectors properly solder and obtain a strong solder joint. Connector manufacturers have addressed this in many ways, and one of the ways … [Read more...]
New Cable Management System Improves SI, Thermals
Samtec works with system architects in the early stages of their design to create solutions for cable management which provide even distribution of thermal load. Using ultra-low skew twinax cable to route signals over the board is a key performance enabler as signal integrity and reach continue to become ever more important in high-speed applications. I spoke to Aaron Tucker, Samtec's Engineering Director of High Data Rate Products, about the need for these cable management systems, design … [Read more...]
Connectors for Immersion Cooling
You might remember the last blog on Immersion Cooling where we introduced Samtec's new landing page for Immersion Cooling. The test results are in, and they look good. Samtec has partnered with Engineered Fluids to run a series of qualification tests on several of our product series. This was done to see how well they perform, and to prove the connectors function as they should in that environment. What Was Tested? So far, we have the test results for our popular SEARAYTM series and … [Read more...]
Here are the May 2020 Website Updates to Samtec.com
In May we rolled out several updates to our content to support the growing virtual needs of our customers. We also launched a brand new version of our Picture Search tool, which we'll detail in a separate post, updated our electrical model capacity and released several more minor content updates. Here are the major updates to Samtec.com for May of 2020. User Experience (UX) Updates to All 3D Explorers A few weeks back, we announced the release of several 3D interactive product … [Read more...]
Selecting the Right Connector, Part 1
Inventing the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture technologies, film, the mimeograph, and holding a record 1,093 patents is impressive. But, I bet Thomas Edison never had the truly difficult job of selecting the right connector system for his printed circuit boards (PCB), nor did he have to work with process or quality engineers to make sure said connector systems were designed-for-manufacturability. That's where Phil Eckert comes in. Phil is Samtec’s Customer Quality Engineering Manager … [Read more...]
