New Products, Technologies At electronica China
We all know the widespread havoc that Covid-19 wreaked in 2020. While the electronics industry in general, and connectors in particular, took an initial hit, the industry rebounded in the second half of 2020 and is rolling into 2021. Travel came to an almost stand-still in 2020, and the industry was quick to respond by converting in-person exhibitions, conferences, and shows to virtual events. In the U.S., many conferences are returning to live venues this summer. China has hosted several … [Read more...]
Silver Creek Dragons Foundation, Samtec Cares Partner to Deliver PCs to Community
A couple of weeks ago, associates in New Albany probably noticed a wall of PCs and related equipment in the MIS Help-Desk area, and then later in the Break Room. If you were in either room, it was difficult to not see them. Their presence raised a lot of questions, including why are they here, and what are we going to do with them? The Silver Creek Dragons Foundation (SCDF) and Samtec Cares recently partnered to serve our community by providing 54 refurbished computers to ten local … [Read more...]
New High Speed Connector System: 56 Gbps PAM4 SI Evaluation Demonstration
Here's a live product demonstration of a new high speed connector system which achieves excellent SI results while running at 56 Gbps PAM4. Jean-Remy Bonnefoy, Systems Engineer at Samtec, explains how Samtec partnered with Credo for this active product demonstration. Credo’s mixed signal 56 Gbps PAM4 Bald Eagle 2 silicon generates two bi-directional channels of QPRBS-31 signal data at 56 Gbps PAM4. The differential signals travel through 2" of traces on a MEG4 PCB, to a Samtec … [Read more...]
New 56 Gbps PAM4 Connector SI Evaluation Kit Demo
Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, walks us through a live product demonstration of a Samtec high-speed connector running at 56 Gbps PAM4, with incredible performance. It can also be run up to 28 Gbps NRZ. This active product demonstration uses a Xilinx® Virtex® UltraScale+ 56 Gbps PAM4 VCU 129 FPGA Evaluation Kit. The connector we’re evaluating is a Samtec HSEC8-DP. It’s a micro-pitch, high-speed edge card connector, for differential pair configurations. Check-out HSEC8-DV … [Read more...]
The New Connectors In The New Catalog
Years ago it was a big deal when Samtec released a new catalog. It was a chance to showcase new connectors, new technologies, and new services. Obviously our digital world has greatly reduced the need for printed materials. But, while it's down considerably from previous years, there's still demand for our printed catalogs. Did I just say that there's still people who read printed catalogs? Yes, I did. According to Harvard Business Review, catalog mailings have been on the increase since … [Read more...]
New COM-HPC Connectors Increase Density and Speed
The embedded world 2021 DIGITAL exhibition and conference recently concluded. A hot topic was the introduction of the PICMG® (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) COM-HPC® standard. COM-HPC® The COM-HPC standard is intended to coexist with the existing COM Express® standard. COM-HPC supports two different module types – one for high performance computing and one for embedded computing. COM-HPC improves on what is achievable in COM Express today. It uses a new high-speed connector … [Read more...]
What Would Agnes Say About These Micro Power Connectors?
Ever seen Despicable Me? It’s got some great quotes.(1) My favorite is Agnes’s line when she sees the giant stuffed unicorn: “It’s so fluffy I’m going to die!” How does this possibly, in any way remotely relate to connectors? Just when I thought we couldn’t add any more design flexibility into the mPOWER® line of power connectors, we somehow did. IOW, it’s so easy to design and find the right connector that I’m going to die! OK, it’s not as short and sweet as Agnes’s line, but you get the … [Read more...]
Is This The Swiss Army Knife Of Connectors?
New Edge Rate High Speed Connector Set Is Micro, Rugged Years ago, while hiking the Colorado River Trail in Rocky Mountain National Park with my two sons, the older one found a really nice Swiss Army Knife. By "really nice" I mean it was one of those big knives with about 15 different tools. Later that night I thought about how they packed so much versatility into one knife. I'm not going to compare a connector to a Swiss Army Knife, but the new connector set I'm telling you about … [Read more...]
