Practical manual for connectors

The connector practical manual is a reference work for device development and for the use of connectors. Every developer and user receives answers to questions about the design, materials, physical principles, contact surfaces, shielding measures, housing mechanics and locking systems. Special chapters illuminate the supreme disciplines of electrical connectors: power electronics on the one hand and high data rates on the other. Finally, the further processing in the production process of electronic assemblies and basic selection criteria are examined. Even if the market with over 1000 connector manufacturers is very large, the book gives the user assistance in finding the best connector for the application.
