Electronica exhibitions and conferences have become an international franchise, with beginnings in Germany and now extending to other countries and continents. The next installment is Electronica South China, and Samtec will be there - in booth 12D13 -- showing new products and technologies. We know that most of our readers won't be at the exhibition, but I'm giving you an overview of those new products and technologies in this blog. And BTW, I know this isn't breaking news, but it seems that … [Read more...]
Samtec Still Cares
The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact our lives in both expected and unexpected ways. Unfortunately, one of the expected ways is a drop in charitable donations. Analysts predict anywhere from a 6% decrease – with many planning for a bigger decline than that. Also, more than half non-profits expecting a decrease in giving in 2020. Here’s reason #1,298 why I love working for Samtec: despite the pandemic, Samtec continues to move forward with our Samtec Cares program. What Is Samtec … [Read more...]

DesignCon Back to School Webinar: Current Distribution, Resistance & Inductance in Power Connectors
Our friends at DesignCon and Design News are launching the DesignCon Back-to-School webinar series. Experts from DesignCon's conference will share their insights from the electronics chip, board, and system industries, walking through use cases, defining various tools, and providing an understanding of why some designs look good on paper but fail once implemented. Samtec is presenting Current Distribution, Resistance & Inductance in Power Connectors. This paper won the DesignCon 2020 … [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...]

I spoke to Brandon about the presentation and why he selected this topic, why a new channel compliance method was adopted, the fact that it is open-sourced, and its importance and value. … [Read more...]
New Samtec Products and Technologies Presented At Tech Days
Our friends at EETech are sponsoring Industry Tech Days. Although they didn’t ask for my advice, I suggested they use the tagline of “Three Days of Peace and Music” for the event. They rejected that brilliant (and original) suggestion and went with “the largest ever virtual trade show and conference for electrical engineers worldwide.” Next, I proactively suggested “Have It Your Way” as a slogan to describe the variety of content available. Not knowing a good idea when they hear … [Read more...]
A New High Performance Test System – 70 GHz
Samtec Bulls Eye® test point systems are ideal for high performance test applications because of their compression interfaces, small footprint, and high cycle count capabilities. Bulls Eye is now available in a new 70 GHz design, which joins the existing 50, 40, and 20 GHz systems. The Bulls Eye grid design and smaller footprint enable smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths. The high-density array design saves significant PCB space compared to traditional test points. … [Read more...]
