Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a contact contained within a connector configured to couple with a mating connection to provide a communications data path through the connector, a ground shroud extending over a portion of the contact, and a self-terminating element connected to one of the contact and the ground shroud and configured for engagement with the other of the contact and the ground shroud when in an engaged position with the connector uncoupled from the mating connection to terminate signals transmitted to the connector, and disengagement when in a disengaged position with the connector coupled with the mating connection.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to determine the temperature-dependent insertion loss and propagation delay of traces in a printed circuit board design. For example, an example method includes determining a first temperature at a first portion of a trace of a PCB design based on a thermal map of the PCB design. The method further includes determining a second temperature at a second portion of the trace based on the thermal map. The method further includes calculating a temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the first portion based on the first temperature. The method further includes calculating the temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the second portion based on the second temperature. The method further includes calculating at least one of a signal loss and propagation delay on the trace based on the temperature-dependent property of the PCB at the first portion and the second portion.
