Women in Electronics: Technology Giants & Inventors
When researching women in electronics for a previous blog, I had way too much material to share. So here is a follow-on post that offers a summary of some interesting women in electronics, particularly in areas like mechanical engineering and computer science. As I’ve said before, this is not an attempt at a thorough list, so please, add comments with women whom you would like to acknowledge! Katherine Burr Blodgett, PhD Blodgett was the first woman awarded a doctorate in physics from … [Read more...]
Famous Women in Electronics
Researching famous women in electronics led me in many directions and specialties, like mechanical engineering and computer science, and would easily turn this rather ambitious blog post into a book! For this piece, I focus on three women who excelled in the field of electrical engineering. In a later post, I will give a nod to some of the other incredible women in related fields that I discovered along the way. I by no means promise an exhaustive list, so please, add comments with women whom … [Read more...]
How to Design Component Launches Faster
Designing and optimizing a breakout region (or component launch) for a connector can be challenging. It often requires multiple back and forth iterations and analysis to adjust variables. Samtec’s new SIBORGTM (Signal Integrity Breakout Region Guru) is a free tool that works with Ansys HFSS 3D Layout to generate, visualize, optimize, and develop PCB package and component breakout regions (BORs), enabling Samtec customers to design component launches faster. SIBORG was initially intended to be … [Read more...]

This past weekend we watched Indy Cars go fast during the 106th Indianapolis 500. A driver or jocky's decision-making and reaction time made me think of delays or latency when it comes to the interconnect market. High-speed connectors are a sweet spot for Samtec and if you are unfamiliar with some of our offerings … [Read more...]
