In modern electronics development, reliable and efficient interconnection technologies are key. Press-fit contacts enable solder-free, mechanically stable connections directly to the PCB and are particularly suitable for current-carrying applications. Complementing this, SKEDD technology offers a tool-free plug-in solution with a 2.54 mm pitch that eliminates the need for soldering, simplifying assembly and enhancing system reliability.
Multiboard designs, whether board-to-board, wire-to-board, or board-to-wire, require precise interface planning. Changes to a connector can have immediate effects on other PCBs. Accurate 3D placement of boards and cables supports mechanical integration and facilitates alignment with the housing.
For high-frequency applications, specialized coaxial connectors and pre-assembled cables are used. Challenges such as unwanted slot antennas must be considered. For currents above 5 A, thermal aspects such as targeted heat dissipation or distributing current across multiple paths become critical. DC-DC concepts with higher voltages and lower currents also impose specific layout requirements, particularly regarding clearance and creepage distances.
The choice of interconnection technology affects not only the electrical design but also the entire manufacturing chain—from PCB production and EMS assembly to final system integration. Close coordination between electronics, mechanics, and manufacturing is essential to ensure a robust and reliable overall system.
