Electrical connectors play a crucial role in linking various electronic components such as printed circuit board (PCBs), expansion cards, and external data interfaces, and their performance has a direct effect on overall system reliability. As sophisticated electronics become the norm in industrial settings, demand is on the rise for robust components suitable for this market.
Highly automated production flows being networked together depend on board-to-board connectors to provide signal connections in an accurate and repeatable manner. These connectors consist of two linking parts—the first part has pins and is attached to a single board, while the other part containing receptacles is mounted to another PCB.
