The HSEC8 series, a high-speed edge card socket on .8 mm pitch, is our most popular edge card connector, and one of our biggest selling products series. New Signal, Power Card Edge Connector A recently released option on the HSEC8 is a signal, power card edge combo connector. The HSEC8-PV is available with one or two banks of power pins. Each bank contains two power pins, and each bank is rated up to 60 amps. Through-hole tails on the power pins are designed for .062” (1.60 mm) and .093” … [Read more...]
Top 10 Most Popular Connector Blogs Of 2018
I like end-of-the-year top 10 lists. I just read the top 10 movies of 2018 (at the box office) and five of them were Marvel movies. Retrievers are the perenniel #1 most popular breed of dog. As a volleyball junkie here's my top VB play of the year (although I am a bit biased, Kenzie (the player who makes this remarkable save) played club ball with my daughter). We had record blog readership this year; "Connectors 101" and DesignCon were the most popular topics, but the topics are varied. Here … [Read more...]
Advantages of Power / Signal Combo Connectors
A popular interconnect solution, especially with our customers in the industrial sector, is power / signal combination (“combo”) connectors. Of course these are mated connector sets that incorporate both signal and power pins in the same connector system. Designers use these power / signal combo connectors for a variety of reasons, including: It’s usually less expensive to purchase, procure, and inventory two connectors instead of four or more.It’s easier to process two … [Read more...]
56 Gbps, 5 Meter Backplane Cable Assembly Demo
A joint demonstration between Samtec and eSilicon -- an eSilicon 7 nm 56 Gbps DSP SerDes over a Samtec 5 meter ExaMAX® backplane cable assembly -- caught a lot of attention at SC18. The demo showed a true long-reach capability with a high-performance, flexible, easy-to-configure SerDes that targets common data center standards and data rates. In this video Samtec’s Ralph Page and eSilicon’s Roberto Massolini walk us through the demo, explaining the logistics and the results … [Read more...]
Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization
Samtec's Gustavo Blando recently presented "Increasing Broadband Interconnect Characterization" at EDI CON 2018 in Santa Clara, California. A video of the workshop is above, and below is Gus's summary of his presentation. VNA measurements are the backbone of any SI analysis, both for correlation and basic interconnect understanding. As bit rate increases and specs tighten, accurate measurement at higher frequencies is of paramount importance. For convenience, a coaxial style connector is … [Read more...]
Shielded Interconnects For Industrial Applications
Samtec continues to expand its line of shielded interconnects, both board-to-board and cable-to-board systems. These are used in a variety of industries and applications, one being industrial equipment. Shielded interconnects are a good thing because EMI is a four-letter word for most designers. I do and don't mean that literally, although I do know there are three types of people in this world: those who can count and those who can't. Anyway, not to be Captain Obvious, but most … [Read more...]
Micro Rugged Interconnect Solutions
One of Samtec's most popular product niches is Micro / Rugged Interconnects. Designers don’t usually think of micro pitch connectors as being rugged, as being able to handle high mating cycles, or as having robust mechanical strength on the PCB, or with strong retention of mated connector sets. Samtec has a complete line of micro rugged products that can do all of the above. Our micro rugged products are just that — micro, and rugged. The following is a quick overview of our most popular … [Read more...]

Focus products included high speed mezzaninehigh speed cable assemblieshigh speed backplane connectorsactive optical cable assemblies Two of the demos that caught a lot of attention were the 28 G Product Demonstrator and the REFLEX CES Sargon Stratix 10 FPGA FMC+ IDK. 28 G Product Demonstrator In this video, Samtec's Neil Potter walks us through the 28 G … [Read more...]
New Products, New Technologies, New Location At Electronica
Samtec is presenting new products and new technologies at Electronica 2018, as well as our full line of interconnects including High Speed Board-to-Board, High Speed Cable Assemblies, Micro/Rugged, Flexible Stacking, Optics and Precision RF. We are in a new location this year: we’re still in Hall B3, but we’re now at Stand 129, across from Molex. If you're at Electronica stop by and visit. If you're not in Munich you may still be interested in some of the new products we … [Read more...]
New Catalog, New Products
Yeah, we know it's the digital age, but we still print catalogs because a lot customers still ask for them. We print less than we used to, but they're still available. Our new F-219 catalog was just released and it includes at least 34 new product series. Most are available and some are soon-be-released, but here's a summary of some of the new products that I think are particulary cool: NovaRay™ Samtec’s NovaRay™ is an industry-leading high bandwidth, high-density interconnect … [Read more...]
