Hello, I’m an aerospace engineer. How do Samtec connectors perform in challenging environmental conditions – like in terms of temperature, humidity, or vibrations?

Could you please provide info on power ratings and considerations for power delivery?

Hi Matt. Do you know if Samtec has connectors with built-in shielding features for applications requiring EMI/RFI protection?

There are lots of details that soomeone needs to consider. Are these single ended or differential pairs? What data rate are you trying to achieve? Is there a protocol like Ethernet or PCIe involved? Which interconnect style are you looking at: mezzanine, backplane, front panel? Do you need SMT or through hole? There are more details to consider.

In any case, the Samtec Solutionator is a great to start your search.
