The traditional electronic connector design is focused on the pin insertion force, pull-out force and retention force etc. mechanical structural performance. In order to achieve the mechanical structural requirements, it is usually to undertake design changes on the pin's exterior, bend angle, material thickness, width etc.
Regarding the high-frequency electronic connectors, they are not only to serve as the connecting parts but also to deliver a large amount of digital signals quickly. Therefore, the design of high-frequency electronic connector needs to comply with both the mechanical structural requirements and the high frequency of electrical requirements.
This study will use the CST high-frequency electromagnetic simulation and the Abaqus FEA structural analysis to undertake structural and electromagnetic coupled analysis and optimization for high frequency connectors. In addition, the cross simulation will be conducted to investigate sensitivity between mechanical structure and high-frequency electromagnetic to design and optimize high-frequency electronic connectors under the size limitation. Additionally, this research carries on tests the fixture the development for high frequency connectors.
