Advice On Selecting and Processing Connectors
If you're reading this, chances are you work with board level interconnects and are familiar with design and processing issues that affect them. If your job doesn’t require you to work with connectors, but you’re still reading this, then you are probably messed up and need some type of professional help. Assuming you're in the first group, check out the list below. This is from Phil Eckert, Samtec’s Customer Quality Engineering Manager. Phil’s career includes connector design, quality … [Read more...]
DesignCon 2015 Paper Now Available – “Optimizing Symmetry In Open Pin Field Designs
Samtec and Teraspeed Consulting presented several papers at DesignCon 2015. The first is "Optimizing Symmetry In Open Pin Field Designs." This paper presents a process for analyzing open field array structures. Various modes of propagation and coupling within the array of conductors are studied. We find that, counter intuitively, the use of additional ground structures can be detrimental to performance. It is demonstrated that by careful use of symmetry, high signal density can be achieved … [Read more...]
DesignCon 2015 Paper – Anisotropic Design Considerations For 28 Gbps Via to Stripline Transitions
Teraspeed Consulting and Samtec presented several papers at DesignCon 2015. Here's a link to "Anisotropic Design Considerations For 28 Gbps Via to Stripline Transitions." For 28-56 Gb/s design the homogeneous isotropic material assumption is a key impediment in model to measurement correlation. Without accurate dielectric material models, it is impossible to close the loop between electromagnetic modeling and actual operation. Epoxy/glass PCB materials present a layered-anisotropic dielectric … [Read more...]
