Samtec Backplane Connectors
What are Samtec backplane connectors used for?
Samtec backplane connectors are founded in printed circuit boards (PCBs) for various computerised devices. They provide stable electrical connections between components and the PCBs. In minicomputers and high-reliability manufacturing applications, Samtec backplane connectors ensure high performance and durability. These connectors also function as safety components in larger elements like video cards and peripheral devices, preventing damage to the PCB and maintaining secure connections.
What is a 4 pair backplane connector?
A Samtec 4-pair backplane connector is a type of high-density, high-performance electrical connector designed to facilitate data transmission between multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) within a computer system or other electronic devices. These connectors are characterised by their use of four differential pairs per signal column, which enhances signal integrity and supports high-speed data transfer rates.
Where are they used?
- Data Centres: Facilitating high-speed data transfer between servers and storage devices.
- Telecommunications: Ensuring reliable connections in networking equipment.
- High-Performance Computing: Supporting the demanding data rates required in HPC environments.
- Industrial Automation: Providing stable and reliable connections in automated systems.
