Samtec's RF Connector Tree is a display of Samtec’s RF products and their evolution into high frequency for microwave and millimeter wave applications. It is divided into six categories, or levels. This display was recently presented at DesignCon, IMS, and Embedded World tradeshows and conferences. In this video, Steve McGeary, Director of RF Business Development and Product Management at Samtec, walks us through the six levels, with an emphasis on precision RF and millimeter wave … [Read more...]
Samtec’s Connector All-Star Team Includes Veterans and Rookies
I'm a baseball fan. I particularly appreciate defense: pitchers' duals, sacrifice bunts, diving catches (in both the infield and outfield), and robbing a hitter of a home run. I love The Rookie and Moneyball. We're coming up on the MLB All-Star Game, which I don't appreciate as much as regular or post-season games, but it's still baseball. Last week I saw the replay again from 1970 when Pete Rose took out Ray Fosse in the bottom of the the12th inning to win the game. I appreciate the … [Read more...]
New Precision Standoffs For Ultra-Rugged Applications
Since Samtec has more ways to connect two or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) than anybody else in the industry.(1) We are frequently asked if sell standoffs and spacers? The answer is yes to standoffs, and no to spacers. Is There A Difference Between A PCB Spacer And A Standoff? Both PCB spacers and standoffs are used to separate printed circuit boards, and/or they are used to create space between the chassis and a PCB. If you’re using one or the other, most designs have at least four … [Read more...]
New Cable System Improves Thermal Management and Extends Signal Reach
A new high-speed, high-density Samtec Flyover® cable system extends signal reach to achieve next-gen speeds and improves thermal management. Andy Shrout, Samtec’s High-Speed Cable Product Manager, walks us through this demonstration, originally shown at DesignCon 2022. High-speed channels route directly off the chip package substrate to the front panel, through Samtec Eye Speed® Ultra-Low Skew Twinax. The channels don’t route through BGAs and multi-layer PCBs. This demo also shows how … [Read more...]
IMS 2022: New Technology, Millimeter Wave Connectors, and RF Launches
IMS 2022 is a week dedicated to all things microwave and RF. It’s the premier event where thousands of RF and microwave professionals will gather this June for networking, education, and to visit the exhibition. Samtec is looking forward to presenting our newest microwave / millimeter wave connector products, as well as showcasing some new technologies and applications in five live demonstrations and static displays. Microwave, Millimeter Wave Products Samtec designs and manufactures … [Read more...]
New 1.35 mm Precision RF Products to 90 GHz
Samtec has released its 1.35 mm family of products suitable for millimeter wave applications to 90 GHz. The 1.35 mm family includes compression mount board connectors (135 Series), cable connectors (PRF13 Series) and .047" low-loss flexible cable assemblies (RF047-A Series). 1.35 mm products are ideal for IEEE, E-band applications due to their high operating frequency and electrical precision. Samtec’s 1.35 mm board connectors are the industry’s only vertical compression mount product using … [Read more...]
Wideband RF Launches: Literally, Everything You Need To Know
As the demand for higher frequencies and wider bandwidths continue their relentless march upward, RF connectors need to keep up and even exceed this demand. Mating the RF connector to a PCB or substrate requires careful consideration of several factors to get the full performance out of the connector. Let’s frame this concept by starting with a simple analogy: Putting tractor tires on a race car is not a recipe for success. Tires on a race car need to convert power from the engine … [Read more...]
Overcoming The Challenges of Achieving 224 Gbps Performance
In this video from DesignCon 2022, Keysight's Mike Resso refers to 224 Gbps as a "blindingly fast speed." Ten years from now, when 224 is old-hat and commonplace, we will look back at that statement and smile at how far we've come since those technologically backward, archaic days of 2022. But as of today, achieving that data rate is bleeding-edge and state-of-the-art. This video, with Mike and Samtec's Jignesh Shah, discusses several topics related to 224 Gbps performance, including ... … [Read more...]
Linear Direct Drive Proof-of-Concept Can Support 100 G+ Signaling
This video from DesignCon 2022 shows a proof-of-concept for an on-package, or near-package, direct-drive electrical channel that can support 100 G + signaling. These drives could be used in mid-board optical and copper designs using Samtec Flyover® cable assemblies or mezzanine connector sets, or for full-channel front-panel and back-panel cable applications. Samtec’s Kevin Burt walks us through the demo, the results, and a brief discussion of the benefits. What's Going On On … [Read more...]
Rohde and Schwarz VNA Verifies Excellent Performance of Front Panel Cable System
This live product demonstration from DesignCon 2022 shows a Rohde and Schwarz ZNA 43 Vector Network Analyzer testing a Samtec NovaRay® I/O front-panel cable system, with excellent results. NovaRay I/O emulates ASIC to front-panel applications. The "ASIC" -- in this case, the ZNA 43 -- delivers signals to a Samtec NovaRay® Flyover® cable assembly, which then travel through 6" of Eye Speed® Twinax Low Skew twinax, to a NovaRay I/O connector/cable system. This assembly also includes our NovaRay … [Read more...]
