Connector Industry Standards

Industry standards play an important role in the selection and use of interconnection devices. Standards are primarily directed at performance and intermatability issues. Frequently, only standards-compliant components may be used in a system even though others are satisfactory in all other aspects for the application. Developing and writing industry standards for interconnections is a long and complex which requires political as well as technical expertise. Helping to direct industry standards can be critical to the success of a product.
