Current IssueSilicon to Systems: From Soup to Nuts
This month, we asked our expert contributors to weigh in on silicon to systems—what it means to PCB designers and design engineers, EDA companies, and the rest of the PCB supply chain... from soup to nuts.
Cost Drivers
In this month’s issue of Design007 Magazine, our expert contributors explain the impact of cost drivers on PCB designs and the need to consider a design budget. They discuss the myriad design cycle cost adders—hidden and not so hidden—and ways to add value.
Mechatronics
Our expert contributors discuss the advent of mechatronics in PCB design, the challenges and opportunities this creates for circuit board designers, and the benefits—to the employee and the company—of becoming a mechatronics engineer.

iNEMI End-of-Project Webinar: Connector Reliability Test Recommendations
February 23, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The iNEMI Connector Reliability Test Recommendations Project, Phases 1 through 3, addressed the need for a standardized reliability evaluation method for connectors. Existing connector reliability testing standards do not address the full range of connector applications nor have the necessary detailed, defined test conditions and sequences required. The project was driven by the need for a more complete understanding of a component’s reliability to determine whether it could potentially have more uses/applications than it was initially designed and tested for, particularly if additional data shows the component can be used in harsher environments.
Phase 1 defined levels of interconnect (connector level) and recommended a physics of failure test approach. In Phase 2 the team defined a set of stress levels and specific test conditions to use when evaluating connector performance.
The Phase 3 team modified the methodology defined in Phase 2 and applied it to two types of connectors: USB-C and SP3 socket. The intention of the modified testing methodology was to perform “tests to failure” to allow reliability estimates to be calculated. This end-of-project webinar will review the development of the test cycles for the connector types addressed, discuss the actual testing and results, plus identify lessons learned and possible next steps.
