Webinar: Pushing Board-to-Board Interconnect Performance | June 21, 9:30 AM EDT | IMS Industry Talks
Southwest Microwave will host the webinar “Pushing Board-to-Board Interconnect Performance” on Monday, June 21, at 9:30 a.m. EDT in the IMS Virtual Exhibition “Industry Talks” Auditorium.
“The demand for micro sub-miniature push-on (SMPM) connectors to achieve ultra-high frequencies while decreasing system footprint continues to expand,” said Don Bradfield, Southwest Microwave General Manager and webinar presenter. “Unfortunately, these connectors – based on the sub-miniature push-on (SMP) connector design concept – often fail to meet electrical and structural performance needs.”
Bradfield explained that during this 30-minute webinar, participants will:
- DEVELOP an understanding of various interface characteristics and the associated design and performance challenges
- RECOGNIZE the impact of engage and disengage forces
- DISCOVER how to resolve challenges related to misalignment, number of engagements, insertion loss, VSWR and board damage
The webinar is open to IMS Virtual Exhibition attendees. Register here for a complimentary pass using discount code FC10263. On-demand viewing will be available until July 25.
