Samtec PCB (Printed Circuit Board) connector accessories serve various functions to ensure proper operation, alignment, and connectivity of electronic components.

What can Samtec PCB Connector accessories be used for?

• Guide Pins – Samtec Guide pins are used to align connectors during mating, ensuring that the connectors fit together correctly without damaging the pins or sockets. They help stabilise the connectors, reducing the risk of misalignment and ensuring a secure mechanical connection. Samtec Guide pins are often used in large or complex connector systems and so are used mainly in industrial or military applications.
• High-Speed I/O System - These systems are designed to handle high-speed data transfer, supporting high-frequency signals with minimal signal loss and interference. They include specialized connectors and cables that ensure signal integrity and reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference (EMI). They are used in telecommunications, data centres, and networking equipment where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and reliably.
• Polarizing Key - Used in telecommunications, data centres, and networking equipment where large amounts of data need to be transferred quickly and reliably. They reduce the risk of damaging the connectors or the electronic components by preventing improper connections. They are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries where the correct orientation of connectors is critical.
