"This book covers everything required to design, manufacture and select a connector for any targeted application. It covers the science of contact physics, and the engineering involved in the choice and manufacture of contact materials, contact finishes, housing materials and the full connector assembly process. Test methods and performance and reliability concerns and guidelines are then given and various application requirements and selection considerations are discussed. This book is intended for a wide electrical engineering readership, and will appeal to both introductory and advanced levels"--
