The paper summarizes key considerations when choosing the right board-level Nano connector on a 0.025” pitch, such as:

  • Through-Hole vs Surface-Mount Termination
  • Packaging and Processing Surface-Mount Nano Connectors
  • The Connector /Printed Circuit Board Interface
  • Creating a Reliable Surface-Mount Solder Joint
  • Flat Leads vs Round Leads

Choosing the right interconnect solution is critical for successful design of modern rugged electronic systems and subsystems. To find out more, download the whitepaper from Ulti-Mate’s website.
