Whois & Analysis for samtec.com

Optics is the branch of physics which involves the behaviour and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and the construction of instruments that use or detect it.

Optics usually describes the behaviour of visible, ultraviolet, and infrared light.

Because light is an electromagnetic wave, other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays, microwaves, and radio waves exhibit similar properties.

Electronics is the science of controlling electrical energy electrically, in which the electrons have a fundamental role.

Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, integrated circuits, associated passive electrical components, and interconnection technologies.

Commonly, electronic devices contain circuitry consisting primarily or exclusively of active semiconductors supplemented with passive elements; such a circuit is described as an electronic circuit.

Silicon is a chemical element with symbol Si and atomic number 14.

A hard and brittle crystalline solid with a blue-gray metallic luster, it is a tetravalent metalloid.

It is a member of group 14 in the periodic table, along with carbon above it and germanium, tin, lead, and flerovium below.

It is not very reactive, although more reactive than germanium, and has great chemical affinity for oxygen; it was first purified and characterized in 1823 by Jöns Jakob Berzelius.

A system is a set of interacting or interdependent component parts forming a complex or intricate whole.

Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.

Components (e.g. capacitors, resistors or active devices) are generally soldered on the PCB.

Advanced PCBs may contain components embedded in the substrate.
