Key factors and issue points to note when choosing a connector

2022-10-31

In a connection system, connector zeros may only be a part of the overall connection system and are sometimes overlooked. But when designing connection systems that apply high-speed interconnects, detecting the presence of speed bumps in the signal path is a critical part of the process. In order to achieve a Z-optimal signal path, so the electronics engineer must have an understanding of the technical issues that affect signal path factors, such as in: stacking, tolerances, through-hole design, trace width, plating and copper etching, and other technical designs. And these design lists basically include a connector zero components, so the choice of connectors in the connection system is also required to choose the right connector should be able to provide the following four key factors.

3 Jpg

1. connector products can be reliably connected to the PCB.

2. Connector products can be reliably connected to the cable system.

3. The connector product should be mated to the impedance at the target bandwidth.

4. The connector product must be below the insertion loss of the target bandwidth.
