Edge Rate® Rugged, High-Speed Connector Strips
Samtec delivers Sudden Service® solutions for standard and customer-specific automotive designs by providing short lead times with an array of options to meet the robust quality, production and compliance requirements of our customers. Our automotive interconnect systems are ideal for applications requiring high-performance, high-density, high-reliability / high mating cycles, optics and microelectronics solutions, with PPAP options.
This interconnected Automotive ecosystem requires a reliable communications infrastructure for high-speed and high frequency data exchange. Samtec’s automotive interconnect portfolio helps route data from radios to sensors throughout the vehicle.
Samtec’s Edge Rate® contact system is designed for high speed, high cycle applications. The surface of the Edge Rate® contact is milled creating a smooth mating surface area instead of a stamped contact that mates on a cut edge. This smooth mating surface reduces the wear tracks on the contact increasing the durability and cycle life of the contact system. It also lowers insertion and withdrawal forces allowing the connectors to be zippered when unmating.
