Effective September 1st 2008, Samtec will no longer offer the screw machine terminal T-1R13-G or T.
The sales on this lead style were very low and only a small number of customers were affected. I will be forwarding a list of customers to those rep organizations, territory managers or country managers with customers who are affected by this update. Samtec will honor existing orders through August 31st.
New orders will be accepted based on availability of material so check with your customers on their usage through August 31st.

Effective immediately, Samtec will no longer offer the SSK Series. If you have a customer who wishes to purchase the SSK Series, please inform them that the SSA, SLW and CES Series are possible replacements. The SSA accepts .015” (.38mm) to .022” (.56mm) diameter lead and most IC leads. The SLW and CES will accept a .025” (.64mm) square lead.
This original cutoff date for the SSK Series was December 31, 2007, but we allowed orders to continue. I will be forwarding a list of customers to those rep organizations, territory managers and country managers with customers who are affected. |

A Keyed Polarization option has been added to the IPL1 -K, SCR2 -DK, MMSD -K, MMSS –K and IPD1 -K Series as a required callout on all new customer designs. This Keyed Polarization Option will eliminate a customers concern of miss mating of an IPL1 to a MMSD as one example.
The Keyed Polarization option does not change the fit, form or function of the series listed above.
Here is a link to updated catalog pages that have also been added to the web:

ftp://ftp.samtec.com/webfiles/pdf/ipl1.pdf
This will not affect existing customers because those customers will be allowed to continue to purchase the older version. |

There is no change to the fit, form or function of the part. The estimated release of these series is August.
This change will allow Samtec to use the QRM8/QRF8 series name for future expansion of the Q-Rate product line. |

The good news is we have an improved, more intuitive part numbering system for the Q2 product line. The good news is our existing current customers do not have to change their part number.
Effective immediately, Samtec is updating the lead style callouts on the QMS, QFS, QMSS and QFSS Series. The new lead style callouts, when added together, equal the board spacing distance of the Q2 system. This makes it easier to design-in and select the right socket and terminal combination.
This change does not affect existing customers; they will be allowed to continue to order the current lead styles. This change also does not affect the QMS/QFS right angle or edge mount options and QMSS edge mount option.
Here is a breakdown of the change:
Current New
Series Lead Style Lead Style
QMS/QMSS -10 -05.75
QMS/QMSS -11 -06.75
QFS/QFSS -01 -04.25 |
