Samtec is presenting new products and new technologies at Electronica 2018, as well as our full line of interconnects including High Speed Board-to-Board, High Speed Cable Assemblies, Micro/Rugged, Flexible Stacking, Optics and Precision RF. We are in a new location this year: we’re still in Hall B3, but we’re now at Stand 129, across from Molex.
If you’re at Electronica stop by and visit. If you’re not in Munich you may still be interested in some of the new products we will be displaying. If you want more information on any of the below please contact Samtec’s Application Support Group.
New Products
mPower (Ultra Micro Power)
The new Ultra Micro Power system, the UMPT and UMPS series, offers design flexibility as a power-only interconnect system or a two-piece system for power/signal applications. Mated heights of 5, 7, 8, and 10 mm allow UMP connectors to be used for power with other popular Samtec high-speed connector systems. They are rate at 17.1 amps per blade, on 2 mm pitch, with tin or 10µ” gold plated power blades.
Ultra High Density Edge Card
Samtec’s new 0.50 mm pitch edge card socket, the MEC5 series is available in vertical and right angle designs. It is the industry’s first 0.50 mm pitch edge card socket with a justification beam.
This socket meets the demands for higher density and bandwidth (it’s rated at 56 Gpbs PAM4) while also optimizing cost, and it’s PCIe Gen 4 compliant.
Check out this video to learn more about the MEC5 series and the unique justification beam.
AcceleRate® Cable Assembly
Samtec’s AcceleRate® cable assembly is the slimmest in the industry with a 7.6 mm body width ideal for closer proximity to the IC. The high-density 2-row design features 8 and 16 pair configurations on a 0.635 mm pitch for up to 92 pairs per square inch.
Rated to 56 Gbps PAM4, this assembly supports Samtec Flyover™technology by avoiding over lossy PCB via ultra-low skew twinax Eye Speed® cable. The mating pcb level connector is the ARF6 series.
FireFly™ Micro Flyover System™
Samtec’s 28 Gbps FireFly™ optical engine brings its industry-leading density to the 100 Gbps Datacom/Telecom and HPC markets. Designed for interchangeability, FireFly™ copper and optical both use the same micro connector system with easy insertion/removal and trace routing.
Available in extended temperature and PCIe®-over-Fiber versions, FireFly™ supports the latest Ethernet, InfiniBand™and Fibre Channel protocol specifications.
Demos
28 Gbps Product Demonstrator
The 28 Gbps Product Demonstrator is an active system that showcases Samtec interconnect products at 28 Gbps and beyond. The Demonstrator is a small version of a real system. It uses active retiming devices at 28 Gbps, for short reach and medium reach channels, and it incorporates most of Samtec’s 28 Gbps products.
Reflex CES Sargon Stratix 10 FPGA FMC+ IDK
The REFLEX CES Sargon Stratix 10 FPGA FMC+ IDK provides developers the best out-of-the-box experience and the best-in-class compact hardware platform with the most efficient intuitive software environment. Its unique install and GUI interface allows an immediate start, and its reference designs enable fast turn-around designs, shortening and securing developments.
Samtec Interactive Nook
This is cool, and I’m told by a German friend that “cool” translates well. Our interactive nook experience walks you through Samtec’s new products, technologies, and capabilities. It’s a fantastic and fun way to learn about Samtec, our new products, and our technologies.
If you’re at Electronica we’d love to see you.
