By all accounts, unmanned systems in general, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) in particular, are expected to see significant growth in the next ten years. The military market will account for the majority the UAV sales and sales growth. The most common types of Unmanned Systems include: UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles that operate in the air)UGVs (Unmanned Ground Vehicles that operate on the groundUSVs (Unmanned Surface Vehicles that float on water)UUVs (Unmanned Underwater Vehicles that … [Read more...]
Rugged Industrial Interconnects: The Design Behind The Description
Our friends at Connector Supplier keep the world up-to-date on everything in the connector universe. They recently ran an article from Samtec entitled Rugged Industrial Interconnects: The Design Behind The Description. Many industrial electronics OEM designers use the word "rugged" to describe their board-level interconnect needs. While rugged can mean different things to different people, it usually includes the ability to withstand high shock and vibration applications, maintain … [Read more...]

DesignCon 2017 — Flyover QSFP28 For 56+ Gbps Applications
A product demonstration that drew a lot of attention at DesignCon 2017 showed how Samtec FQSFP Flyover™ interconnects are used in the Keysight Reference Solution RS506 Digital Interconnect Test System. The demo has the 32 port Keysight VNA coupled to PLTS measurement software. With this system, one measurement captures all 32 ports. In this video, Jim Nadolny, Samtec’s Principle SI and EMI Engineer, walks us through the demo. Jim explains how the high-speed signals are routed … [Read more...]

The demo features a disaggregated computing platform with PCIe® Gen 3 fabric enabled by the patented FireFly™ mid-board optical technology. PCIe® Over Fiber PCIe® over Fiber technologies enable new and emerging HPC and Data Center architectures. Traditional systems place GPUs and system storage as close to the server and CPU as possible … [Read more...]
Flyover QSFP28 For 56+ Gbps Applications
At DesignCon 2017, Jim Nadolny, Samtec's Principle SI and EMI Engineer, presented(1) a technical paper entitled “Design of Flyover QSFP28 (FQSFP Series) for 56+ Gbps Applications.” This white paper discusses the Flyover QSFP (FQSFP) approach for 56+ Gbps applications to overcome the limitations from the large loss on typical QSFP ports with surface mount to PCB traces. By replacing the PCB traces to twinax cables, they achieved 7 dB lower insertion loss at 40 GHz -- compared to … [Read more...]
Calculating Connector Mating and Unmating Forces
We are asked all kinds of questions about both the electrical and mechanical properties of our mated connector sets. This makes sense because interconnects are obviously electromechanical components. On the electrical side, the two we answer the most are: what is the current rating of a connector?how does Samtec establish a voltage rating? Mechanical FAQs include: how many cycles will this connector handle?do you test to my specifications?what is the force required to mate or … [Read more...]
Samtec Expands AccliMate™ IP68 Sealed Cable Solutions Product Line
We are expanding our line of standard and custom AccliMate™ Sealed Cable Plugs and Receptacles, including new crimp sealed bayonet latching circulars. These systems meet IP67/IP68 requirements for dust-proof and waterproof sealing, and they are designed for industrial, outdoor, underwater and other harsh environments. The CCP-12, CCR-12, and CCRB-12 Series were developed as cost effective solutions with optional metal shielding for cable-to-cable and cable-to-panel applications. They … [Read more...]
