Exhibiting a low mated height of 4.35mm, the Si-Fly LP (low profile) cable-to-board assemblies have been released by Samtec for use in data centre, HPC and AI applications. Typically in these areas the z-axis height near the IC package is limited. In addition to side-to-side and front-to-back mounting, the assemblies allow belly-to-belly PCB mounting (connectors and cages on both sides ...
At Embedded World today, Samtec announced mid-board optical transceivers for embedded and rugged applications, including phased array radar and medical imaging. ‘Mid-board’ describes optical links that replace PCB tracks for very high speed signals. The new transceivers, branded Halo-C, are aimed at PAM4 modulated 56Gbit/s (112Gbit/s in development) per lane links with 16 channels (eight bidirectional). Read all the latest news from Embedded ...
Samtec has designed a series of surface-mount board-to-board connectors that can handle 28Gbit/s NRZ signals and are only 2mm tall when mated. SLH/TLH Series “offer connections in high data rate rugged environments such as automotive, industrial IoT, robotics, military and aerospace”, it claimed. TLH is the part with the narrow raised ridge along the center, and SLH is the part ...
Samtec has created a line of RF connectors that mount to the edge of PCB by bolting rather than soldering. They measure only 9.5mm from side-to-side where they sit on the PCB and are under 8mm from top to bottom (see photo) “These connectors are commonly used in a lab setting for high-frequency test and measurement and evaluation boards,” according ...
Mouser has brought out a new eBook in collaboration with Samtec, exploring the challenges of high-speed designs and the new cable technologies emerging to address them. In Samtec Flyover Solutions Break Next-Gen System Architecture Constraints, a range of Samtec thought leaders offer insights into how recent technology breakthroughs have enabled advances in electronics designs. The eBook’s five chapters cover themes including ...
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with connector supplier Samtec. The distributor will stock the full line of Samtec products, including high-speed board-to-board, connectors, cables, and optics. Ashley Quinlan, strategic marketing director at Samtec, writes: “Mouser recognises that Samtec is a different type of supplier when it comes to offering bleeding edge technology with incredibly short lead times ...
Samtec has introduced a low-profile PCI Express Gen 4 edge card connector which its says has good signal integrity because of its design of contact. The contact system is designed to minimise the effects of broadside coupling, which decreases crosstalk which improves signal integrity and impedance control. The supplier says the contact system is also less prone to damage when ...
