Does anyone know of any testing that has been done on Surface Mount
Connectors (strength, reliability, and quality)? What methods/ criteria
were used for the testing? Can a copy of the report be obtained?
  We in the circuit board assembly group would like to recommend more
SMT connectors (in place of through hole), however our design group
would like more information on the strength, reliability, and quality
data of SMT connectors.
