SOM System B2B Connector Assembly
Validation-DOE (To Ensure Time 0 No Crack)
The Samtec ADF and ADM connectors placement were shied 0% and 15% (based on connector
pad diameter) on the X and Y-axis for both the SOM and carrier cards. The shied connectors
were reowed and were able to mate without any issue.
The mated connector boards were submied for cross secon tesng to validate their mang
condions. Based on the cross-secon images, the connectors which shied by 15% were able
to self-align during reow soldering. The following photos are a cross secon image of the mated
connectors. The proper contact of the female and male connector pins is achieved.
