HERNDON, VA – iNEMI has organized two connector-focused projects and is asking for input to define common approaches to industry-wide challenges. The first project is the Connector Reliability Test Recommendations Project, and the second is the High-Speed Signaling Connector Metrology Project.
Each project is conducting a survey to help determine current best practices and identify gaps in existing methodologies, and is inviting industry participation in these surveys.
Input that led to development of the Connector Reliability Test Recommendations Project pointed toward a need for common reliability test conditions and equipment capabilities across the industry.
This project team has developed a survey to help better understand the definition of connector "levels," and to identify gaps in standards, design requirements, test requirements and end-use requirements of the connector industry.

iNEMI’s High-Speed Signaling Connector Metrology Project plans to characterize and measure socket and connector electrical parameters to define metrology requirements for time and frequency domain; cross-company correlation of socket and connector electrical parameters using predefined test boards and sample units; common database/data formats of test results for customers to use.
The survey will provide a review of existing methods for socket/connector HSIO measurements. It is also intended to benchmark OEMs’ and suppliers’ socket and connector electrical parameters, using predefined test boards and sample units. The project plans to develop a standard format for presentation of test results.
