Meet Your New Solution Blocks Page on Samtec.com

In the previous article, we explored the new top-level product navigation on Samtec.com including an introduction of the Solution Blocks. This post is similar but goes a little bit deeper into each Solution Block and how to navigate to those easily on Samtec.com.

While you can get to each one from the top navigation, we also built a dedicated page that directs users throughout the new hierarchy, starting with the six Solution Blocks. You can find that here.

The Solution Blocks Page

This page features six links to explore each Solution Block, plus deeper links into the corresponding product groups. It’ll also show the user a brief description of each Block along with an image to ensure they’re heading to the right place. Our goal with this page is to get the user started off browsing in the correct area before digging deeper into the website.

Here’s an overview of each Solution Block, and the challenges that each of them aim to solve.

High-Speed Board-to-Board

The High-Speed Board-to-Board Solution Block features high-speed connectors, including mezzanine strips with integral ground planes and signal integrity optimized Edge Rate® contacts, high-density arrays, backplane interconnects, ultra micro and edge card sockets, with performance to 56 Gbps NRZ/112 Gbps PAM4.

This area of products aims to solve the challenges of running incredibly high speeds with increased bandwidth and optimized signal integrity while also being flexible enough across its various products to fit into nearly any space.
