Medical imaging systems are undergoing a quiet revolution. In just a few years, systems have become faster, more portable, and more capable, all while delivering high-resolution results. A scan that once required a hospital appointment with a room-sized device can now be performed at the bedside, in a clinic, or even at home. From portable…
5G and advanced digital computing technologies require ultra-high-speed interconnects with minimal signal degradation. As mmWave/RF circuits look to extend to 170GHz and beyond, many are exploring new materials to use as a substrate and/or an interposer. Applications such as medical (especially implantable devices), datacom, and aerospace, require high-performance, high-reliability, and precision in small footprints. Glass…
Smart phones, smart watches, and earbuds. All are portable. That may sound like the everyday portable accessories of a college student or a young professional. However, portable consumer electronics are everywhere. Even Aunt Agnes and Uncle Mick seem to be wearing them. There is no doubt the mobile internet tsunami (I know that’s an old…
In recent months, the Samtec blog has updated you on our new 224 Gbps PAM4 high-speed cable system, a new CXL over fiber solution, mid-board optical and cable systems that boast the industry’s leading miniature footprint, and carrying analog, digital, and power in one connector, among many others. So what bleeding-edge technology are we going…
Edge Rate® is one of Samtec’s most popular high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnect systems. Edge Rate is both the name of the pin and in this case, it’s also a product family. Edge Rate Contact Design Let’s begin with the contact system because that’s the star of the show. With some connectors, the mating edge of the contact…
Small, complex, and portable applications (in industries such as military/aerospace and medical) require miniaturized, reliable interconnects. As traditional surface-mount and through-hole interconnects reach their limits in terms of density and the number of signals that can effectively be used, many product designers are implementing high I/O array styles of interconnects. In a new white paper…
In our recent series of articles about connectors for the medical industry, we have looked at some of the equipment that is used in hospitals. While much of our focus has been on the devices that are used in surgery and the care of patients, there is a significant portion of the medical industry that…
In order to provide medical care, it is important to understand what is happening inside a patient’s body. The latest generation of vision systems is allowing doctors to create accurate imaging. This is providing a new understanding of the human body and is enabling a whole new approach to surgery and medical care. One of the…
Samtec’s customer base continues to expand and diversify. New technology enables emerging industries and groundbreaking applications. Customer requirements rapidly change based on the specific needs of certain applications. Mil/aero designers are interested in long-life, rugged solutions while data center architects demand bleeding edge performance. In an effort to meet these varying needs, Samtec proudly announces…
We have customers ask from time to time to see our Medical Connectors catalog. Some of our older sales guys would drop the full line catalog on the table and smile. The customer may look a bit confused until we started having a conversation and find out about what they really needed. Samtec has historically…
