Assembly in Action: Zinc Connects for Less and Adds Muscle
Teradyne’s (Boston) very high density metric (VHDM) interconnect platform provides high-density and high-speed signal integrity for telecommunications applications.
Initially, the VHDM connector’s guide module was molded in liquid crystal polymer. It had a stainless steel guide pin inside. However, Teradyne’s design engineers wanted to strengthen the module and reduce deflection.
