Ask The Expert - Precision RF with Samtec

In the next few weeks, RS Components will be introducing a range of new Precision RF connectors from Samtec, and so we thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to find out more.

I was lucky enough to talk to Mike Dunne and Steve McGeary of Samtec to understand more about what precision RF connectors are and what they can do. Both Mike and Steve are instrumental in the advanced work that Samtec is conducting in this high-performance market.

We talked in some detail about how the latest technologies are driving advances in transmission speeds, and how frequencies of 40 GHz or more are now commonplace. Unusually, the industry is in the grip of not just one revolution, but three. The introduction and growth of the 5G network, the advances in the automotive field, along with higher and higher digital speeds mean that Precision RF connectors are more important than ever.

Join us as we dive into this exciting technology, and find out more about how Samtec is providing the infrastructure for the future of communication.

If you would like more information on this fascinating range of products from Samtec, please take a look at the new Precision RF Guide.
