Samtec and SnapEDA have teamed up to make these models readily available to […]
High-bandwidth interconnects save space on PCBs for rugged applications
Edge Rate high-speed, high-bandwidth interconnect systems save space on PCBs, and are designed for high-cycle, rugged applications. With some connectors, the mating edge of the contact is the cut edge of the pin. If you look at the edge of the pin under a microscope you may see micro burrs and edges. This reduces the […]
