Abstract :
Summary form only given. The purpose of this presentation was to identify and discuss the connector requirements in regards to the following: (1) assembly methods/exposures (manual/robotic placement, ease of location, polarization, retention methods, and lead tolerances/planarity); (2) assembly process compatibility (solder process time/temperature profiles, chemical exposures, and mechanical parameters); (3) repair process methods of removal and replacement; (4) quality control (manual/visual inspection, electrical shorts/open testing, and insulation resistance testing); and (5) connector contact resistance stability (initial, time dependent, and recovery)
