Lecture description

Selecting the Right Board-to-Board Connector – Mechanical, Electrical and Layout Considerations

The selection of the right board-to-board connector is a key factor in ensuring the reliability, signal integrity, mechanical robustness, and long-term performance of electronic devices. Using practical examples, this presentation demonstrates how requirements such as PCB layout, number of positions, stacking height, tolerance compensation, vibration resistance, current-carrying capacity, EMC shielding, and high-speed data transmission influence connector selection. Participants will gain a structured decision-making approach to reduce design risks, select the most suitable contact technology, and accelerate the design-in process.
