In the field of electronic device design, choosing the right board-level connector is often confusing. Unless the application has special requirements (such as specific power requirements, extreme operating temperatures, cutting-edge bandwidth, or industry performance standards), this process can be quite complex. However, for designers whose design requirements are relatively simple and straightforward,Two-piece, cuttable positioning connector-Terminal (pin holder) and socket bar, with its design simplicity and flexibility, provide many potential benefits. It's like the old saying: "do what you want", free to choose the configuration you need.
Due to the adoptionCut by positionEngineers can purchase any number of pins, even an odd number of pins. For example, many of Samtec's full-band plastic connectors support flexible options from 1 to 50 pins per row
. Although industry standard sizes (such as 10, 34, 40, 50 pins) are more common, if the design requires less common sizes (such as 44 pins), there is no need to purchase a 50-pin connector and then idle some pins. The benefits of this flexibility include:Lower costs, PCB space savings, fewer machining processes, reduced inventory pressure. Thanks to Samtec's reserve program (Samtec Reserve®), such orders are likely to be shipped within a day, greatly shortening the product development cycle.
The plastic body of the cuttable connector is easier to stock due to its low cost and easier to support multiple design configurations. In addition to the common single-row and double-row full-band connectors, Samtec also providesThree or even four rowsThe design. This diversity brings greater flexibility to the design, allowing the connector configuration to be optimized for a specific PCB layout. For example, if a 15-bit terminal block is required, and the PCB layout is more suitable for connectors with three rows (5 pins per row), there is no need to use 2 × 8 terminal blocks, thus optimizing space utilization and signal paths.
The full-strip, cuttable positioning connector is also suitableTerminal (male) and socket (female)Connector strips. Thanks to this inherently low-cost design, connector manufacturers are able to offer a variety of strip connectors with contacts to meet the cost and performance requirements of different applications.
In the case of Samtec, its socket board is equipped with aRugged/high-cycle, straight-through, cost-effective and high-retentionA variety of contact systems designed for the application
. For example,Tiger Claw™The contact is a flat, dual-wipe, through-contact with 1.00, 1.27, 2.00 and 2.54mm pitch socket strips. Its SMT version is usually only 2.29mm (0.090 inches) in height.. This through-type contact allows the terminal row pins to pass through the bottom and/or top of the socket strip, allowing designersConnecting three circuit boards, enabling the possibility of integration of more complex systems.
One common concern with cuttable connectors is polarization issues. Since the plastic shell of the full-peel, cuttable positioning connector usually does not have a polarizing key or sheath, how to ensure that the mating connector is properly mated?
Samtec's solution allows designersSpecify the polarization process in the product model. By specifying the pin number in the "Polarization Options" callout, the corresponding pin will be removed from the body of the terminal strip, and the corresponding contact position on the socket strip will be filled with the plastic polarization key. In this way, the two connectors cannot be inserted in the wrong way, thus ensuring the connection.reliability and correctness

To help engineers quickly find the most suitable mating connector, Samtec providesSolutionator® Flex StackingOnline Tools
. This is a powerful connector search tool that can be provided in a few seconds according to the user's design requirements (such as stack height, spacing, number of pins, etc.)Complete Mated Connector Set Part Number。
Compared to traditional search tools, Solutionator®It saves the trouble of finding a connector first and then finding its matching partner, and there is no need to manually calculate the stacking height of the matching connector system,Greatly simplifies the selection process
. The tool is integrated into multiple pages of the Samtec website and can be used without even leaving the current page, significantly speeding up the design process。
