Samtec’s 75 Ohm High-Density BNC with Pick-and-Place Capability

Exclusive, Low-Profile, Balanced Right-Angle Design

New Albany, IN: Samtec now offers a 75 Ohm High-Density BNC solution (HDBNC Series) with an exclusive, balanced right-angle design ideal for high volume pick-and-place manufacturing (-BM1D & -BM2D die-cast options).

Designed primarily for use in advanced broadcast video equipment, Samtec HDBNC Series was tested to the latest SMPTE 2082 12G-SDI pass/fail specifications, with return loss measurements surpassing minimum requirements by a least -10 dB from 0 – 12 GHz. Results also show extremely low VSWR and insertion loss. Details, including complete Product Specifications and Characterization Reports, are available at samtec.com?HDBNC-BM.

Product design was optimized and provides increased surface area to ensure proper vacuum sealing, while weight modifications ensure balance during pick-and-place onto the printed circuit board. Samtec’s HDBNC-BM1D & -BM2D die-cast products maintain a compact design for increased panel density with 8 mm (.315″) body height and 8.5 mm (.335″) width. Body height matches current screw-machined right-angle HDBNC Series designs for easier adaptability to existing applications.

Samtec offers a wide variety of solutions supporting broadcast video systems. Please visit samtec.com/12gsdi to learn more. Samtec RF/Signal Integrity engineers are available for application-specific product design, 75 Ohm signal integrity support, or custom board launch design services. Contact RFGroup@samtec.com.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
