Connectors, cables, etc. are a vital piece of the embedded system, but are often (too often?) taken for granted. There’s clearly a lot going on in that space that designers should know about. To connect the dots, I spent some time with Matthew Burns, a Director at Samtec, a guy who lives and breathes connectors. Check out this week’s Five Minutes With…discussion.
