Our Most Popular Connectors For Medical Applications
When they hear the phrase connectors for medical applications, most electronics types think of some type of I/O interconnect to accommodate the cable interfaces on handheld devices. Push-pull cable products, circular cable assemblies, and wire-to-board solder cup headers and sockets usually come to mind. The medical electronics industry is one of Samtec’s largest customer segments. But unlike most other suppliers, Samtec’s most popular connectors for medical applications are all high data … [Read more...]
New Products, Technologies At electronica China
We all know the widespread havoc that Covid-19 wreaked in 2020. While the electronics industry in general, and connectors in particular, took an initial hit, the industry rebounded in the second half of 2020 and is rolling into 2021. Travel came to an almost stand-still in 2020, and the industry was quick to respond by converting in-person exhibitions, conferences, and shows to virtual events. In the U.S., many conferences are returning to live venues this summer. China has hosted several … [Read more...]
PCIe 4.0 Over Fiber Solutions in Embedded Computing Applications
"Do you know how FAST you were going?!?" That question strikes fear in almost all teenage drivers. The resulting ticket dashes any hope of a fun weekend. Plus, what happens when the parents find out?? No!!! Meanwhile, embedded and optical engineers may wonder the same thing. "PCIe 3.0 only gets to 8 GT/s? I need more speed!" So what's the answer? PCIe 4.0 over fiber solutions, of course. Why PCIe 4.0 Over Fiber? Any number high-performance, embedded applications are looking for … [Read more...]
