Board-to-Board Connections - Know Your Options (Part 1)

In this white paper, DfR guides you through the process of selecting a board-to-board connection and how to balance cost, size, number of I/O, manufacturability, repairability, and robustness. A concise understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each connection option is provided. For more information, contact Greg Caswell.

Thermal Solutions - Designing to Optimize Performance

Meeting targets for cost, size, and performance for a thermal solution is a challenging activity for most engineering teams. Designers can be drawn into a game of 'opinioneering,' which can induce overdesign or initiate a time-consuming design of experiments. This white paper illustrates how DfR optimizes this process. For more information, contact Nathan Blattau.
