I have been doing e-procurement and hardware design for a long time, and I know the difficulties of selecting and supplying goods best-not only the space on the board is small enough, but also the signal transmission is fast enough, and I have to worry about whether this material can arrive on time.
Recently, Samtec AcceleRate®The HD array connectors (ADM6 and ADF6 series) have been significantly expanded, which is definitely good news for engineers who are struggling with high-density designs. This "slimming" connector, known for its extremely narrow 0.635mm pitch, now has more options:The stacking height is covered from 5 mm to 16mm, and the number of needles is also extended to 40 to 400.
In industrial control scenarios, the stability of these components directly affects the efficiency of the production line, while in high-performance computing (HPC) servers or data communication equipment, more flexible stacking height allows air duct design and cooling.

AcceleRate®The new stack height of the HD series is not arbitrarily set, but to match Samtec's existing mainstream interconnection products. This compatible design greatly facilitates applications that require mixed signal processing-such as digital signals, radio frequency (RF) and power transmission in a small space.
This has to mention its "Open Pin Field" design.

In simple terms, it allows engineers to freely define contacts in the grid of a single connector housing. You can flexibly configure single-ended, differential pairs or power paths according to project requirements. To be honest, this design freedom can save a lot of things on PCB with complex wiring.
Of course, flexibility is not enough, performance is the last word. Samtec's Edge Rate®The contact system optimizes signal integrity64 Gbps PAM4(PCIe compatible®6.0/CXL®3.2).
This is crucial.
In order to achieve such a high rate and ensure the life, the system has made several special "micro-operations":
Smooth milling mating surfaces: Significantly reduces the wear and tear during plugging and unplugging;
Contact side alignment: The narrow sides of the contacts are aligned in the connector body, effectively reducing broadside coupling and crosstalk.
If you look closely at the bottom of the ADM6 and ADF6, you will find that they use Samtec's iconic columnar tail design (IPC calls it Post). After reflow soldering, it can form solder joints conforming to IPC Class 3 standard.
This is what we are talking about "welding column plate termination technology".
In that months-long solder joint reliability test (experiencing severe cold and heat shock from -55°C to 125°C), this termination method showed amazing stability. For those industrial or military-grade equipment that is not only fast, but also "leather", the ability to alleviate the stress caused by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is the core to ensure that the equipment does not go down for a long time.
No matter how good the product is, it is useless if you can't get it. In recent years, the procurement of electronic components has paid more and more attention to the response speed of the supply chain. Many enterprises have affected the project cycle due to supply delays. We have heard too many lessons about this.
How to solve the anxiety of "urgent order" and "out of stock?
As the official authorized distributor of BonChip Electronics, we not only provide the sales and customized ordering services of its entire line of electronic components-from basic passive components to high-end integrated circuits, but also realize the delivery of most orders within 48 hours with the service standard of "response and do it immediately" and the regional front warehouse distribution system. To be honest, many long-term cooperative customers have mentioned that we are the most worry-free choice to find a full range of products of the same brand for quick replenishment.
We know that when you are selecting a core connector such as ADM6/ADF6, you need not only one piece of material, but a complete set of delivery guarantee.
Last week, another customer who made the Internet of Things module placed an order in the early morning. Because the production line was waiting for trial production, we coordinated overnight and delivered the goods from the nearest warehouse on the same day. This "targeted" inventory strategy is precisely in response to today's rapidly changing market demand.
If you are looking for a high-density interconnection solution for a new project, or need to confirm the inventory and quotation of Samtec related products, please feel free to contact us through BonChip official website. Choosing the right distributor can save a lot of things-not only the product is complete, but also the delivery is fast, and the service must keep up. This is the meaning of our existence.
