First-Ever Electronic Connector Bible

If you're looking for a better way to a connect electronic components so they're both manufacturable and maintainable, reach for Electronic Connector Handbook. In this Handbook, experts help you choose wisely from among today's bewildering array of permanent (including soldered and mechanical) and separable connectors for consumer, computer, communications and other devices and systems. The perfect tool for maximizing the price/performance of power and signal applications alike, it lets you:

  • Develop an instant background in contact interfaces, finishes, materials, designs and housings
  • Master all 6 levels of connector types - including those for board-to-board, wire-to-board, wire-to-wire and coaxial connections
  • Minimize performance tradeoff and test connectors and sockets to meet demanding mechanical, electrical and environmental standards
  • Engineer connector thermoplastics - and choose from among the top 12 engineering polymers
  • Much, much more

From the Back Cover

Your complete guide to choosing the right connectors for today's electronic systems. Are you bewildered by the large number of connectors and technologies currently available for high-performance electronic systems? This landmark reference is the first to offer you an overall framework for understanding connector design and function. Covering a wide range of today's connectors, the handbook gives you the expertise needed to connect electronic functions in a practical, modular for that is both manufacturable and maintainable. Included is hands-on information that will enable you to: Develop a solid grasp of contact interfaces, finishes, materials, designs, and housing; Make the most of signal, power, and other connector applications; Master the various connector types, such as board-to-board and wire/cable-to-wire/cable; Learn the performance tradeoffs of different kinds of connectors; Apply the latest methods of mechanical, electrical, and environmental connector testing. This time- and money-saving tool will also help you ensure connector reliability by providing step-by-step details on degradation mechanisms, laboratory evaluation programs, reliability estimation, and more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good solid intro to connectors, Aug 1 2000
This review is from: Electric Connector Handbook: Technology and Applications (Hardcover)
This is a good book for those not familar with the techinical issues concerning connectors. It doesn't get too technical to scare you away, but has enough details to estabilish the basics you need to know about these components. Not recommended for the experienced who may want to know more details of a particular connector subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Engineering Resource, Nov 30 2010
By D. Ings - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Electric Connector Handbook: Technology and Applications (Hardcover)
This is an outstanding engineering resource for anyone whose product reliability depends on crimped connections. The explanations of the physics and design principles enabled us to solve a very serious field problem and establish criteria to ensure we will never have it again. I did not focus on the sections of the book that deal with the connector and housing technologies, but my scan of them suggested they also provide excellent foundations in fundamental material science and proven design guidelines. The stated objective of the book is to give engineers the knowledge they need to make the right selections based on the application requirements rather than broad "rules of thumb." Contrary to the other reviewer's opinion that this is an elementary introduction, my experience as a working engineer is that this is a superb technical reference that presented levels of technical detail that I was unable to find through an extensive Internet search. Even though the few available used copies are expensive, they are worth the investment for anyone whose product reliability depends on crimped connections (and connectors) that are used in harsh (and even benign) environments. If you can't buy a copy, depending on your library system, you may be able to borrow one from an engineering library.
