iNEMI Connector Footprint Tolerance End-of-Project Webinar
October 24, 2024 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
iNEMI’s PCB Connector Footprint Tolerance Project investigated industry capability, risks and mitigation strategies associated with high-bandwidth I/O connector footprints. As bandwidth continues to double every three years, the reduction in connector pitch imposes stringent design requirements on PCB fabrication processes. The project team aimed to provide product designers with the information necessary to ensure predictable quality levels when using high-bandwidth connectors. A literature review, along with team experience, helped identify potential risks and create a PCB industry survey to assess supplier capabilities for appropriate quality mitigation.
Join us for this end-of-project webinar where we will review survey results and highlight areas of expectations and gaps between PCB fabricators and connector manufacturers. Additionally, the team will present recommendations for quality assessment and dimension control.

The Pulse: Ultra Upgrade Unknowns—What’s Coming for UHDI?
01/21/2025 | Martyn Gaudion -- Column: The PulseAs we enter the second quarter of the 21st century, there appears to be a new chapter in PCB technology. Ultra high density interconnect (UHDI) has become a buzzword, but it’s actually not that new; many of the processes were already established in the high-volume production of Asian cell phones and tablets. What is new and challenging, however, is migrating the line widths and stackups—once the domain of handheld consumer products—into the lower volume specialized environment of the commercial world.
