Powell adds Samtec’s latest high-density, high-speed connectors
Samtec’s 0.635 mm pitch AcceleRate mP series connectors are now available from Powell Electronics. The high-density, high-speed power and signal array connectors feature rotated power blades for efficient cooling in a compact form factor. The power blades are rotated at 90º angles which gives equal access to heat escape for uniform cooling, explains Samtec. It also simplifies the breakout region, ...
Samtec adds -S Screw option to multi-port SMPM connector
SMPM (sub-miniature push-on micro) multi-ported mated sets are now available from Samtec with the new -S Screw option for threaded coupling. The sets are part of the company’s Magnum RF range of ganged, multi-port RF blocks and cable assemblies which are designed for mmWave applications requiring a high operating frequency in a limited space. The multi-port SMPM connectors and assemblies ...
Military-grade tactical router
Sundance Multiprocessor and Etion Create have announced the Cheetah Tactical Router – claimed to be the industry’s first military-grade tactical router with built-in interconnects. Cheetah is a military-grade level 2/3 switch/router designed for military vehicles and other harsh environment edge applications. With support for VNX+ (VITA 90) — an emerging hardware standard that speeds the design of SWAP-C constrained defence and ...
Cable assemblies keep a low profile under cooling hardware
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 ...
Embedded World: On board 56Gbit/s optical links
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 ...
28Gbit/s board-to-board connector stacks to 2mm tall
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 ...
DC to 67GHz PCB edge-launch connectors are solderless
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 e-book on cable tech for high-speed designs
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 signs Samtec
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 ...
