Online configurator is first step to custom connector
A Product Configurator from Samtec for customers to modify any Samtec Connector to obtain a variation which is exactly suited for their application is available at Farnell element14. The new online tool enables customers to modify connectors and download 2D and 3D models in just minutes.
As each parameter within the tool is modified, the resulting 3D image can be refreshed within the page and any changes will display a unique manufacturer part number that will capture the selected parameters.
The tool, which is being launched in North America and the UK gives access to a variety of connector variations from Samtec.
As the modified product is not custom designed, and is a standard Samtec modification, customers taking advantage of the tool would not experience long lead times or “custom” prices.
Once the product is adjusted, the final version of the product can be downloaded in 150 potential file formats including STEP, SolidWorks, Autodesk and a png or PDF file.
