Vehicle Electrification: The Road Ahead
Ever since I was a little girl I've loved attending antique car shows with my dad. Classic cars have always fascinated me. The design styles and build trends drew me in. As I go back down memory lane, my dad's 1976 red Corvette Stingray stands out in my head. My dad saved up his money for almost a decade. He finally purchased his dream car when I was a teenager. Long story short, my father does not cruise in his Corvette anymore. Why? He's taken it out 3 times, and you've guessed it - all 3 … [Read more...]
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...]
New High Speed Connector System: 56 Gbps PAM4 SI Evaluation Demonstration
Here's a live product demonstration of a new high speed connector system which achieves excellent SI results while running at 56 Gbps PAM4. Jean-Remy Bonnefoy, Systems Engineer at Samtec, explains how Samtec partnered with Credo for this active product demonstration. Credo’s mixed signal 56 Gbps PAM4 Bald Eagle 2 silicon generates two bi-directional channels of QPRBS-31 signal data at 56 Gbps PAM4. The differential signals travel through 2" of traces on a MEG4 PCB, to a Samtec … [Read more...]
Samtec Flyover® Technology Lowers HFT Latency
“Greed is good!” – Gordon Gecko “Bulls. Bears. People from Connecticut.” – Jerry Seinfeld “Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.” – Wall Street adage popularized by Jim Cramer Ask anyone about the stock market, and they likely have an opinion as different as these three quotes. Yet, most individual’s retirement plan, pension or individual investments are likely tied up in Wall Street, The City, Zurich or some other investment hub. Additionally, the COVID-19 … [Read more...]
