Recently we rolled out an upgrade to the Product Detail Page, and the Pricing and Delivery sections of our website to make choosing different packaging types easier.
With Samtec products, the part number you choose often determines the type of packaging you get. Since packaging often plays a role in automation, such as tape & reel or tube packaging, it’s important that you are able to get access to the correct part number in order to get the right type of packaging for your project.
Now, this is much easier on Samtec.com. On any product that has various types of packaging, you’ll now notice a grid that shows the other options for that same product in different packaging types. The part numbers will be slightly different, but the products will be exactly the same. We’ve also provided notes on each of these products to better understand how you’ll receive them.

For example, these part numbers are all the exact same product, just in different packaging. The first is bulk packaging. The second is tape & reel. The third is a full reel of tape & reel.
By providing these various options, you can more easily find the product you need straight from these on-page tools, rather than going back to the configurator, catalog, or customer support.
This is just another way to get exactly what you need quickly on Samtec.com. We hope you like it!
Coming Soon to This Project
As this project continues to evolve, we’ll also be adding how each product variation differs, other types of alternative products, simplification to the grid, and better clarity for the user, among other things.
Look for those updates in the coming weeks.
