Hi Techies,

What choices have you made regarding SMT connectors?

We are designing some new SMT boards and could put SMT connectors on to
reduce or eliminate a wave or hand solder step.  I am looking at
D-subminiature connectors and 0.100 on center ribbon connectors.  Each
are available in SMT.  My concern is that the SMT is less durable in a
high usage or high vibration/shock environment.  Saving a step isn't
worth it if it created more long term failures.

Thanks in advance.

Phil
