With so many connectors available there is almost an infinite number of combinations from which to choose. To the untrained eye, many look the same but an experienced engineer will quickly tell you that this is certainly not the case. Connector selection can be a challenge, but do not fear — with just a little knowledge you can find the right solution. All Connectors Are Not Created Equal The #1 consideration when selecting a connector system is the quality level required for your … [Read more...]
Multiple Connector Alignment On Mating PCBs
Design and Processing Engineers frequently contact our Interconnect Processing Group (IPG) to discuss multiple connector alignment issues on mating PCBs. Our standard response is “it’s easy, don't worry about the alignment, and we recommend you use as many mated connector sets as possible.” OK, I’m lying. The first part – that IPG receives a lot of inquiries – is true. The second part – it’s easy – is not 100% true. At times it can be complicated. When using multiple connectors per board, … [Read more...]
Samtec to Present at Mentor User2User 2017 PADS Events
Designing PCBs used to be easy. Typically PCBs only had a few components. They usually only had one or two layers. Data rates were a few Kbps or Mbps. Like The Right Stuff, Richard Dean Anderson's MacGyver and Tang, these are concepts only understood by engineers of a certain era. What about today? PCB Designers and Layout Engineers face a growing number of design challenges. Data rates seem to get faster by the day. PCB design teams span the globe. … [Read more...]

Making High Speed PCB Design Easier
High-speed PCB design for applications supporting data rates of 28 Gbps and beyond provides many challenges. PCB designers and layout engineers need to answer many questions: What PCB laminate offers the best performance? What connectors will be used? What is the stack up? How many layers? What about back drilling vias? There are a plethora of other variables that are beyond the scope of this blog. Fortunately for PCB designers and layout engineers, Samtec provides many … [Read more...]
GCT For Miniature Substrate Packaging
In this short video, Steve Groothuis, Chief Technology Officer for Samtec Microelectronics, explains Glass Core Technology (GCT), why it matters in advanced substrate packaging, and the solutions it provides. GCT is a proprietary process that leverages the performance benefits of glass by creating small diameter, fine pitch Through-Glass Vias that are metalized and hermetically sealed. The TGVs are linked via a unique thin film Redistribution Layer (RDL) process to create custom … [Read more...]

More Than Just Connectors: Samtec’s Technical Library
Between overdue books, too many "Quiet Please" signs to count, and trying to navigate the Dewey Decimal System, going to the library is never much fun. The same feeling is often true when searching for technical documentation before, during, or after the design process. Scouring page after page can prove frustrating, and answers are hard to find. We are out to change that. Besides our wide variety of connectors and cable assemblies, Samtec also strives to provide the needed … [Read more...]
