Bulls Eye® High-Performance Test
Optimized Performance to 70 GHZ • High-Density • Space-Saving Design

The high-density array designs and advanced cabling solutions within Samtec’s Bulls Eye® product family support test and measurement applications to 70 GHz. Soldering costs are eliminated with a compression interface to the board for easy on/off and high cycle counts. The high-density and space-saving design enables smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths versus traditional SMAs.

The Bulls Eye® double row 70 GHz test system is 224 Gbps PAM8, 224 Gbps PAM6, 224 Gbps PAM4 and 112 Gbps NRZ compliant, and features a 360º grounding (stripline), spring-loaded contact. The 50 GHz system is designed with a signal and ground pogo-pin contact, plus 2.40 mm end connectors. Additional double and quad row systems are available with 2.92 mm end connectors.
