Samtec, Inc., is a worldwide manufacturer of P.C. Board level interconnects.  Worldwide Samtec sales for 2007 were almost $400 million.  Samtec was founded in 1976 and is privately held.  Samtec, Inc. is ISO/TS 16949:2002, ISO 9001:2000, and ISO 14001:2004 registered with a 5-A1 Dun and Bradstreet rating, the highest available for a corporation this size. At Samtec, we focus on creating superior capabilities and differentiation within niche products and markets, and we have six Core Values that have become our Mission Statement to assist us in achieving this goal.

Because service is what we do here at Samtec, there are six Sudden Service Principles that all Samtec associates follow. These Sudden Service principles define us, and there are certain values that Samtec associates all posses that make us who we are. These are the values that Samtec was founded upon that have gotten us where we are today. We call these values Samtec DNA.


Samtec has three focus product categories:

  1. Signal Integrity Systems (Signal Integrity At Any Distance™ – From 3mm to 3 Meters) -- This includes signal integrity products and services.
  2. Rugged Systems (Rugged From The Outside In™) – Samtec’s line of rugged products includes power-to-board, sealed circular, and rugged/high shock and vibration systems.
  3. Micro Systems (Flexibility!) -- Flexible board stacking from .5mm pitch to .200” and above.

Four interconnect applications are common to each of these focus product categories. They are:

  1. Panel-To-Panel -- These are “box-to-box” interconnect systems, consisting primarily of rugged and high speed cable plug assemblies that connect self-contained components to each other.
  2. Panel-To-Board -- These are receptacles and assemblies that connect the outside of the box to the inside.
  3. Cable-To-Board – Samtec has a full line of IDC, high speed, discrete wire, flex, and RF cables and assemblies for board-to-board applications.
  4. Board-To-Board -- You know this by heart! Samtec has more ways to connect two or more boards than anybody in the industry.

The foundation of these product categories and applications is Sudden Service.
