In the terminal design is considering the cost factors, but in addition, more attention should be paid to the products of high quality, high stability, and the terminal itself design features.

First: double rod design. Optimization design of high speed signal transmission terminal adaptation, provides higher orientation tolerance. In the inductance, capacitance, resistance and other aspects of the comparison, double rod terminals than the box type terminal structure for high speed application and contractible, and optimizing to achieve minimum discontinuity. Double rod design allows multiple connector on a circuit board without plug or short circuit problem, a single connector without substantial signal. Double rod simple line can save space, so that the connector is smaller, welding pin detection is simplified, but also reduce the rework cost.

Second: no depression bent pin assembly process design. The traditional stamping due to improper handling can cause bending or deformation of bending process of pin, can cause the capillary crack, from the product term is not desirable, can also affect the properties and cost of circuit. While the ERNI uses a pair of corner directly stamping, punching terminal can avoid bending process induced by the capillary crack, to ensure that the integrity of the electrical connection. Lead coplanarity 100%, control to a tolerance of + 0.05mm, 100% surface mount pin coplanarity detection to ensure the circuit board assembly process reliability, ensure good welding, improve product quality, reduce the cost rate. And improve the firmness of the right angle connector to prevent the connector, due to improper operation and damaged, with" be too strong to break" to describe a very appropriate. Particularly suitable for ink jet printer controller, Interface Module interface module.

Third: high retention surface mount design. For SMT products, generally considered board remain poor. Don't surface terminated PCB retention force to the through hole is connected with the low? The answer is: not necessarily. Through the design of improved can effectively improve the PCB holding force. If the welding frame, surface mount pin hole ( microporous ), large pad three aspects can improve the holding force. In fact, even the I / O connector can also be used for surface mount pin. This can be described as " air plant". For example, X machine, ultrasound scanners, robot Ethernet switch design.

Fourth: robust design. To determine the terminal design reliability, while allowing the use of flat piece of crimping tools, plate fixed on the casing to improve robustness, achieve superior manufacturing processes, improve the yield. Use a word to generalize is" be as solid as rocks". Specific applications such as positron emission tomography, railway vehicle embedded system.

Fifth: high current, small spacing design. With the automotive electronics, consumer electronics miniaturization requirement, need to consider the high current, small spacing design concept.

Sixth: Advanced lock design. ERNI double lock designed to meet different needs, positive lock for strong vibration application design, it is very suitable for cars and Metro application, friction locking for general vibration application design. Double lock with double safety insurance, to ensure a reliable connection, and the disassembly ( repair / replacement) cable does not need special tools. Suitable for application to monitor, LED lamp design.

As terminals and interconnect technology in the design of electronic systems become more and more important, don't underestimate the role of terminal design. Product design engineer not only need to pay attention to technology, also need to pay attention to peripheral device selection, so as to get the best performance system.
