Engineering Smarter with Supplyframe
We recently worked with Supplyframe on their "Engineering Smarter with Samtec" video to highlight some ways that Samtec helps the engineering community design their products more efficiently. We understand that a connector may seem like a small piece of the puzzle in a full system. Samtec and Supplyframe want to make sure you have all the support and tools at your disposal to select the right solution for your system. Check out the video and then read on for additional information or links … [Read more...]
Embedded Vision Applications Expand
Human vision in indispensable and often taken for granted. Similarly machine, or embedded, vision influences daily human life in ways thought impossible. Simply, machine vision refers to the ability of embedded systems to "see". Key system components include cameras or image sensors, analog-to-digitals converters and complex compute engines like DSPs, FPGAs or GPUs. Additional IP, firmware and applications software provide functional guidance based on what the system "sees". Need an … [Read more...]

Samtec Exhibits at AUVSI XPONENTIAL Virtual Trade Show
As a NASA flight enthusiast, the idea of unmanned aerial vehicle systems (also known as drones) sounds like a lot of fun. A good example of how fun drones can be is through drone racing…yes you read that right… drone racing! However, apart from how fun they can be, drones have some pretty serious applications. Municipalities, architects and real estate developers use drones to inspect buildings for compliance to the latest safety standards. Drones simplify search and rescue (S+R) operations … [Read more...]

Vehicle Electrification: The Road Ahead
Ever since I was a little girl I've loved attending antique car shows with my dad. Classic cars have always fascinated me. The design styles and build trends drew me in. As I go back down memory lane, my dad's 1976 red Corvette Stingray stands out in my head. My dad saved up his money for almost a decade. He finally purchased his dream car when I was a teenager. Long story short, my father does not cruise in his Corvette anymore. Why? He's taken it out 3 times, and you've guessed it - all 3 … [Read more...]
Our Most Popular Connectors For Medical Applications
When they hear the phrase connectors for medical applications, most electronics types think of some type of I/O interconnect to accommodate the cable interfaces on handheld devices. Push-pull cable products, circular cable assemblies, and wire-to-board solder cup headers and sockets usually come to mind. The medical electronics industry is one of Samtec’s largest customer segments. But unlike most other suppliers, Samtec’s most popular connectors for medical applications are all high data … [Read more...]
High-Performance Interconnect for Robotics Applications
