In this presentation, we will discuss popular Input/Output or ‘I/O’ interconnects, their attributes, uses and applications citing examples from the 3M Company.
There are several attributes to consider when selecting a connector for I/O applications. Giving thought to intended use, current form factors and industry standards, cable construction and electrical performance, shielding from electro-magnetic and radio frequency interference, connector contact design and mechanical aspects, and anticipating repair and replacement issues, will best equip you to make informed connectivity choices.
