An assessment of the reliability of edge connectors
Abstract
User views on causes of unreliability in edge connectors used in printed circuit boards were collected and supplemented by practical work. Results show that failures occur with sufficient frequency to be commercially embarrassing; many failures are avoidable, national standards and specifications could be improved and long term solutions to the possible replacement of gold plating should be sought.
