Samtec’s complete line of discrete wire connectors and cable assemblies are used in a variety of applications, including industrial automation and industrial equipment (like power supplies, measurement devices, process controls and sensor systems), security, telecom, automation, controls, military and defense, and transportation, to name a few.
Samtec discrete wire cable assemblies and components are available on a variety of pitches (from 0.80 mm pitch to 6.35 mm pitch), on a variety of wire gauges from 32 AWG to 10 AWG (for signal and power), and with a broad selection of bodies, contacts, and terminals (for just about any application).
There’s a complete list of products available below, but before you see that list, I need to tell you two things:
Custom and Modified Assemblies
Nearly 40% of our discrete wire sales are modifications to standard products. Here’s a summary of some of our most frequently requested discrete wire cable assemblies. BTW, all of these are pretty easy modifications to our standard product line.
- Adding competitor’s connectors to a Samtec cable assembly
- Cable harnesses with different color shrink tubing, labels, and 2D barcodes
- Color coded cable connectors and pcb connectors
- Mixing cable AWG
- Adding ferrites to suppress EMI
- Selectively populating connector pins to meet creepage and clearance requirements

Application Tooling Available
We offer a variety of tooling to help you assemble discrete wire, AccliMate™ (sealed circular connector systems), and RF components. These range from simple hand tools for lower volume projects, to applicators that can be used in bench top and automatic presses for larger volumes.
