What connectors and interconnects are used in pacemakers and ICDs?
Pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are small, battery-powered devices implanted under the skin to manage abnormal heart rhythms. Pacemakers deliver low-energy electrical impulses to treat bradycardia, while ICDs monitor life-threatening arrhythmias and deliver controlled, high-energy shocks. Despite their functional differences, both devices rely on specialized connectors and interconnects to ensure safe, long-term performance. This […]
Connector lines pass severe tests
Samtec, Inc. has announced the addition of two product lines that meet or exceed Severe Environment Testing (SET) qualification standards. The most recent SET additions are URSA I/O ultra-rugged cable assembly systems and 1.27 mm Tiger Eye cable-to-board systems. SET is a Samtec initiative to test certain products beyond typical industry standards and specifications for […]
Second sources mitigate supply issues
Samtec now second-sources its Si-Fly HD co-packaged and near-chip systems through a licensing agreement with Molex. It’s not the first time the two companies have been second sources. Having a second source for critical components can save the day. That’s even more important today given supply-chain disruptions of raw materials. For basic devices such as […]

The APM6 and APF6 connectors are built on a 0.635mm pitch and support data […]
Surge protection needs of automotive PoC systems
For automotive Power over Coax (PoC) systems, robust surge protection is required to safeguard sensitive electronics from a variety of damaging voltage transients present in the vehicle environment. The protection system must address hazards originating from the vehicle’s battery, electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, and other potential electrical faults. Robust surge protection is needed to protect […]
Power over coax fundamentals for automotive applications
Power over coax (PoC) works by transmitting both data and power over a single coaxial cable, reducing wiring, weight, and complexity for in-vehicle systems like cameras and high-definition displays. PoC can be crucial for meeting fuel efficiency standards and supporting the growing number of cameras and increasing display sizes and resolutions in modern vehicles. Cabling […]
