Prediction of forming accuracy using FEM analysis in slitting process for connector terminal with micro width

미세폭 슬리팅 공정에서 유한요소해석을 이용한 성형 정밀도 예측

In the electronic products, connector which play a role of board-to-board connection is an essential part. The manufacture process of this connector involves slitting and bending stage. Recently, manufacturing the connector is becoming more and more difficult as miniaturization of the electronic products. In this study, FEM analysis was performed on slitting and bending process for connector terminal with micro width in order to predict the cause of inaccurate dimension of connector terminal which occurs in actual industrial spot.
