Magnetrol® Model 706 Guided Wave Radar Transmitter Depends On Samtec Quality
Our customer Magnetrol manufactured the first liquid level switch to accurately and safely detect motion of liquid in boilers and feedwater systems. They also introduced the first pneumatic valve controller, supporting the growth of the nuclear power industry with new standards in safety and performance. Magnetrol® level and flow products evolved from mechanical and electro-mechanical devices to today’s microprocessor-based controls. I caught up with Kevin Haynes, Senior Project … [Read more...]
Extreme Density, Micro Edge Card Socket for Cost Optimization
Samtec has released the industry’s first 0.50 mm pitch edge card socket with justification beam. This design allows high-speed signals to pass through an incredibly dense connector while keeping the mating PCB at a reasonable cost. The socket’s justification beam is designed to shift the card into proper alignment with the contacts. This allows for standard board tolerance on cards that typically would not work with ultra-fine pitch connectors. Manufacturing costs are then optimized … [Read more...]

Micro Rugged Connectors: They Are Possible
MICRO RUGGED CONNECTORS Most designers think the smaller the connector, the more fragile and delicate it is. We don’t usually think of micro pitch connectors as being rugged, as being able to handle high mating cycles, or as having robust mechanical strength on the PCB, or with strong retention of mated connector sets. Samtec has a complete line of micro rugged products that can do all of the above. Our micro rugged products are just that -- micro, and rugged. I guess … [Read more...]
