For many today, "video surveillance" calls to mind antics caught on video doorbells. It's super easy to look for food deliveries, watch animals or make sure any late-night online purchases aren't taken. If you haven't seen the commercials on TV, search for them on YouTube. It is a great way to kill a few brain cells. On a more serious side, video surveillance has come a long way in helping detect the bad guy. Whether at home, at the office or in public, video surveillance is a key … [Read more...]

Si-Fly™ 112 Gbps PAM4 System & Teleportation
Is teleportation really just hypothetical? Please consider… by the 24th century, Star Trek’s “Transporter” will become “the safest way to travel” at 2 to 2.5 seconds of typical transport time up to 40,000 kilometers away. Just say, “Beam me up, Scotty.” And let’s not forget Wonka Vision. Little Mike Teavee shrunk and transported himself into the television like one of Willy Wonka’s oversized chocolate bars. Then he went to the taffy puller to be made normal size again in no time. Okay, … [Read more...]

Discrete Wire Component Data Now Available on Samtec.com
As you probably know, discrete wire component data is quite a bit different than just standard socket and terminal mating relationships. When we look at how Samtec approaches discrete wire products, there are several components involved. We not only sell the assemblies, but we also sell the housings, contacts, sockets, terminals, hand tools, and applicators that go into working with these types of products. I won't lie. When this project first came up, we figured it wouldn't be that bad, … [Read more...]

The Top 10 Connector Blogs Of 2019
Here’s a list of the top 10 connector blogs (i.e., the most-read Samtec blogs) of the last 12 months or so. Several of these were written a few years ago but are still very popular; I think of them as the blog equivalent of Dark Side of the Moon. 1. The Legacies of Sam Shine: Sam Shine, the founder of Samtec, passed away this year. Although he hasn’t been involved with the running of the company for the last 25 years or so, his impact on Samtec and the electronics industry was huge. … [Read more...]
