How to achieve quality in the manufacturing of connector contacts

Summary form only given. This workshop addresses the issue of how quality is built into modern electronics interconnect systems. The primary focus is on the question of quality in manufacturing and using connector contacts. A brief systems overview of the various elements in the development cycle related to building quality into modern electronics systems is provided. This is followed by short presentations from two users and two manufacturers which addresses questions such as What do users want and how do they define requirements? and How do connector manufacturers achieve these quality goals in practice? Attention is given to a wide range of issues such as application requirements, the design cycle, initial production, and product qualification. Quality requirements and process control are discussed.<<ETX>>
