Choosing the right plating is critical to the success of a connector system. Plating affects the connector’s performance, life cycle, quality, and cost. A recent blog explains that pins and plating are usually the main cost drivers in board-to-board connector systems. That blog focused on the base metals in connector pins, and this one is […]

Comparing Base Metals In Connectors
I’ll start this blog with two questions. First, what are the major costs to build a connector? Second, which of these are the bigger costs? In other words, what is the most expensive part of a connector? (Quick aside: I can’t speak for all connector companies when it comes to costs. The majority of examples […]
A Vehicle For Insitu Glass Fabric Characterization (EDI CON 2017) – Glass Weave Skew
Glass Weave Skew. For most people it probably sounds like a progressive rock band. But we’re talking about Glass Weave Skew and differential signals. Brandon Gore, Senior Staff Signal Integrity Engineer, and the Manager of Samtec’s Signal Integrity Group, R&D Hub recently presented “A Vehicle For Insitu Glass Fabric Characterization” at EDI CON USA 2017. The […]

Creepage and Clearance and Connectors
While creepage and clearance sounds like something that’s a misdemeanor in most states, we are asked about it frequently. Why all the questions? Either it’s not a crime in Indiana, or designers are asking about higher voltage connector systems. Creepage and clearance is ultimately about safety and meeting regulatory standards, regardless of the system design. […]
Multiple Connector Alignment On Mating PCBs
Design and Processing Engineers frequently contact our Interconnect Processing Group (IPG) to discuss multiple connector alignment issues on mating PCBs. Our standard response is “it’s easy, don’t worry about the alignment, and we recommend you use as many mated connector sets as possible.” OK, I’m lying. The first part – that IPG receives a lot […]
Flyover Enables High Speed, Simplifies PCB Design
Bob Hult, our friend at Bishop and Associates and Connector Supplier, recently published High Speed Signals Take The High Road on the Connector Supplier website. Among other things, the article discusses the challenges of high-speed signals in printed circuit boards. As always, Bob’s article is well-researched and worth the read. But if you only have time […]
Real World 28 Gbps Connector Demonstration
The 28 Gbps Product Demonstrator is an active system that showcases Samtec interconnect products at 28 Gbps and beyond. In this brief video overview, Scott McMorrow, Samtec’s CTO of Signal Integrity Products, and Brian Vicich, VP of Engineering, explain that it was designed to showcase Samtec’s products, along with the engineering capabilities of Samtec’s Teraspeed […]
