Samtec Announces High Speed Direct Termination Cable Assembly

Samtec has expanded its cable line with a new High Speed Cable Assembly featuring its rugged Q2™ connector system and a patent-pending cable termination designed to maximize Signal Integrity.

The Q2™ Direct Termination Cable Assembly (Q2DA Series) employs Samtec’s rugged Q2™ Series 0,635mm (.025”) pitch high speed sockets on both ends and 50 Ohm single-ended routing via high performance 36AWG micro coax high speed cable.

The patent-pending cable termination optimizes Signal Integrity by eliminating the need for a transition board and results in reduced overall system cost.

Available with 26 or 52 total pins per bank, this system mates with all QMS Series Q2™ terminal strips including surface mount, edge mount, and right angle orientations.  It also enjoys all the features and benefits of the rugged Q2™ Series connectors including increased insertion depth and an integral metal place for power or ground.  This RoHS compliant assembly also offers standard guide post holes for ease of alignment.
