Making a connection: a summary of RF connector trends
In a cost-effective way, Radio Frequency (RF) connectors seek to transfer data across multi-megahertz radio frequencies with minimal data loss from reflection and dispersion.Situated at the end of every cable with the job of transferring data to the next PCB or system, RF connectors operate like a gateway to the device-under-design; select the right one and the data being transferred passes without the least delay, select the wrong one and the si...
Connectors support high speed transmission for industrial applications
HIROSE has introduced the ER8 series of connectors that supports high speed transmission of more than 10Gbps for industrial applications.
Samtec announces 14 Gbps FireFlyTM FMC Development Kit
Samtec has announced the release of the new 14 Gbps FireFlyFMC Development Kit. This new solution offers an easy-to-use evaluation and development platform for Samtec’s FireFlyoptical engines.The 14 Gbps FireFlyFMC Module provides up to 140 Gbps full-duplex bandwidth over 10 channels from an FPGA to an industry-standard multi-mode fiber optic cable.
Chip-to-chip at the speed of light
As data centres and data farms continue to expand and grow, better solutions are required for system architectures that allow faster communication and more efficient operation. The physical limits imposed by copper PCB traces are being reached - communication over copper is limited to around 10GBps, and at high speeds losses limit the distances to a few inches.
FireFly power/control connector adopted by COBO
Samtec has announced the Consortium for On Board Optics (COBO) has adopted a two-piece surface mount connector system based on Samtec’s FireFly Micro Flyover System for the next generation of standardized on-board optical modules.As part of the new miniature footprint, the Power/Control connector from Samtec reduces the size of on-board optical modules while increasing port density in data center and HPC applications.
Interconnect for harsh environments
Connectivity is a key determinant of overall system reliability - and in harsh environments even more so. An understanding of connector types that provide the highest reliability in environmental extremes is an important consideration for designers.
RF/coaxial connectors target telecommunications applications
More than 190 additional devices, including RF and coaxial connectors that target use in wireless telecommunications applications have been added to its range of Samtec connectors by RS Components. Key product types being introduced include: the high-speed and high-density Razor Beam self-mating systems, which reduce inventory costs and are available in a variety of pitches and lead styles for increased flexibility; high-density micro connector s...
Sealed cable solutions product line expanded
Samtec has announced the expansion of its line of standard and custom AccliMate sealed cable plugs and receptacles, including new crimp sealed bayonet latching circulars. These systems meet IP67/IP68 requirements for dustproof and waterproof sealing and are designed for industrial, outdoor, underwater and other harsh environments.
When failure is not an option
What is the most vulnerable component within an electronic design? Candidates would include anything with a moving part, such as a disk drive or fan, power supplies or fans which need strict control of temperature, and ICs which are sensitive to electrical noise.
nMode wireless sensor module shortens development time
Samtec announces the release of the first Samtec nModeWireless Sensor Module. The production-ready solution allows engineers to remotely sense and measure inertial, environmental and acoustical parameters.Samtec’s 13.5mm x 13.5mm nMode Wireless Sensor Module contains a MEMS accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, pressure sensor, and a MEMS microphone —all from STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across...
