I would like to replace one connector type with a different, less expensive model. How do I prove the two connectors have the same electrical characteristics? Also, how will the power and ground-pin assignments within the connector affect its performance —John Lin Three basic measurements will do the job. All three measurements use a mated pair of connectors hand-soldered to a solid ground plane on each side (Figure 1). On either side of the connector, ground all the pins that you will use for power or ground connections. Leave the other pins unconnected but accessible to your test equipment.
