Targets (Maximum/Minimums/Targets):

#Pins:Pin Count: 

  • More is better, at least X
  • JE – Don't know what systems are on boards yet, but I doubt you'll have much trouble with this

Max Current:

  • At least X
  • JE – Don't know what systems are on boards yet, but I doubt you'll have much trouble with this

Max Voltage:

  • At least X

Fabrication Method:

  • Board-independent; connector functionality should not rely on certain mechanical characteristics of the PCB
  • Reversible: connector should not be irreversible or irremovable, in event of damage

Mechanical Connection:

  • Keyed; the obvious one
  • Positive latching; IREC compliance, resistance to vibration

Assembly Difficulty:

  1. THC - Through Hole Connector (Easiest)
  2. SMD - Wide Pitch (Not Complicated but requires additional equipment)
  3. SMD - Tight Pitch (Hard - Potential for shorts)

Part Availability: 


Cost (<$5 Per Connector)
