In high school math and science were not my strongest subjects. I struggled learning algebra and geometry. As a senior and preparing for my future career, I was certainly not interested in engineering, math, or science. Looking back, another possible part for me not majoring in those fields could be because I lacked guidance and mentorships to help improve in those fundamental classes. More programs such as WIE IEEE Forum USA East and companies like Samtec, are empowering a new generation … [Read more...]

The Challenge of Vertical Farming – Part 2
In the first article of this series about vertical farming, we looked at the trends that have led to the emergence of this new technology. The challenges of a growing global population, climate change and competing uses for agricultural land mean that farmers are looking for alternative ways of producing food. Vertical farming is one approach to solving this problem by using urban or industrial spaces to grow crops. In this article, we will look at some of the technology that is making … [Read more...]
SET Connectors Operate In Rugged, Harsh Environments, Like Automotive SDVs
The U.S. automotive electronics market is $249.6 billion and is expected to grow to $391.4 billion in 2033. That’s a CAGR of 4.6% for the next decade. And again, that $390+ billion is just in the U.S. Obviously, as we see more electronics in vehicles, we’ll see more electronic connectors. USCAR and LV214 are the standards for automotive connector systems. However, both apply primarily to cable-to-cable and cable-to-board connector systems. With the advent and growth of … [Read more...]
Spooky Signal Integrity and Skeletons in Electronic Interconnects
Just like spooky tales that may send shivers down your spine, there are problems that can haunt engineers and designers. When these manifestations arise, they may lead to project delays, unexpected costs, and even system failures. In this bone-chilling blog, we'll dive into the eerie realm of signal integrity issues and architecture problems, uncovering some of the ghosts that lurk within. Read on if you dare! The Haunting Signal Integrity Phantom sounds, eerie reflections, and … [Read more...]
How to Carry Analog, Digital, and Power in One Connector
In a recently published white paper, “Array Connectors for Mixed Signal Multi-Channel RFSoCs up to 8 GHz,” Samtec engineers describe the research, development, simulation, and measurements performed in a project to design the optimal breakout region (BOR) for the use of array connectors that simultaneously carry analog, digital, and power signals in an RF environment, as a replacement for traditional compression mount and threaded PCB connectors. The results show that it is possible to route … [Read more...]

An Optical Illusion? Maximum Signal Density and Design Flexibility
Samtec FireFly™ mid-board optical cable systems boast the industry’s leading miniature footprint, enabling maximum signal density, and of course signal integrity over longer distances. That's a good thing because designers are facing longer-reach applications, increasing bandwidths, and tighter spaces. FireFly™ mid-board optical cable assemblies provide high-performance versatility for data rates up to 28 Gbps per channel. The miniature footprint allows for higher density and closer proximity … [Read more...]
The Challenge of Vertical Farming – Part 1
This is the first part of a two-part series about some of the most exciting innovations in the world of agriculture - vertical farming. We will look at the challenges it presents to the designers tasked with making it a reality. In the second part, we will investigate how Samtec customers are at the forefront of this new technology, and some of the innovative ways they can turn any space into a farm. Farmers have always been amongst the first to adopt new ways of working. From the wheel and … [Read more...]
Manufacturing Variation: It’s Our Job To Find The Hidden Enemy
Manufacturing high-end electronics is difficult. Making a one-time sample for a demonstration or prototype can be challenging, but the real challenge is finding out how to make it consistently and in a profitable manner. That's what Aaron Tucker, Samtec's Director of Engineering - New Ventures (R&D), said during a recent presentation about the challenges of producing high-density, microminiature connectors. Most of his discussion focused on reducing manufacturing variability. I later … [Read more...]
