Last week I posted a blog about a paper on Interconnect Susceptibility To Galvanic Corrosion. The paper was prepared David Scopelliti, a longtime friend of Samtec. As I mentioned there, Dave has a wealth of test, application, industry, and processing knowledge, and is well-respected and well-known in the industry. That’s a polite way of saying he knows a lot and has been around forever (think Moses in a lab coat). See a picture of Dave to the right. He's either … [Read more...]

Micro, High Density, High Speed Razor Beam™ System
Samtec Razor Beam™ products are micro pitch, high density, high speed interconnect systems. Razor Beam products save space on the X, Y, and Z axes. In other words they are very fine pitch, they have slim body designs, and they are low profile. RAZOR BEAM While Samtec Razor Beam interconnects are micro pitch – on 0.50, 0.635, and 0.80 mm pitch – they are rugged. Mating contacts feature undercut retention notches that produce an audible click when the contacts engage. … [Read more...]
A New High Speed Connector Rating That Accounts For The Entire System
Designers periodically ask us for a "general bandwidth performance rating" to compare two or more interconnect systems. Of course numerous variables affect the signal integrity performance of an interconnect, so a one-size-fits-all approximation definitely does not fit all. Now, a new approach allows system signal integrity engineers to compare relative performance of connectors and cable assemblies while factoring in noise contributions from and interactions with other parts of the … [Read more...]
Samtec Helps with IIoT Security
Is seems hardly a day passes without "secure" data being hacked. Whether personal photos, enterprise data or factory floor controls, data security has become a higher focus for many. Avnet's new Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Security Peripheral Module for Zynq®-7000 All Programmable SoCs enables a root of trust for platform integrity, remote attestation, and cryptographic services required for IIoT applications. This new solution supports additional use cases such as … [Read more...]
Samtec Releases “Expanding the Backplane Ecosystem” ChalkTalk
Samtec is pleased to announce a new ChalkTalk entitled "Expanding the Backplane Ecosystem." Hosted by EEJournal, this newly released ChalkTalk details the growing backplane connector portfolio from Samtec. Samtec entered the backplane connector market by licensing FCI's ExaMAX® High-Speed Backplane Connector System. Over the past few years, Samtec has developed numerous soon-to-be-released backplane connector mated pairs. Samtec has also developed power delivery and guide post … [Read more...]
Bend There, Done That (Quick, Inexpensive Custom Interconnects)
Most designers shy away from using modified or custom interconnects, mostly due to concerns about price, availability, and sourcing. But there are times when you can’t find a standard product that works in your design, and you have to consider using a modified or custom interconnect. Samtec has the ability and willingness to design and build modified and custom interconnects, from simple to complex. Samtec’s team of dedicated ASP (Application Specific Product) engineers and … [Read more...]
Samtec – A Custom Cable Assembly Solution Provider?
"Cable assemblies!" What usually enters someone's head when they hear that phrase? Ethernet patch cable assemblies? Standard video cables assemblies like HDMI, DVI, miniDP or even VGA that link a laptop or tablet to an LCD Projector or wall-mount TV? Probably. In the world of high-speed cable assemblies, Samtec has found a unique nitch for itself. While most Samtec competitors focus on industry-standard or high-volume application-specific cable assemblies, Samtec focuses on … [Read more...]
