What is a connector? What are the categories of connectors?

Update:18 Jun 2020

When it comes to integrated wiring, naturally we will think of a lot of knowledge about integrated wiring. Of course, there are many knowledge about integrated wiring, and today we will talk about connectors. What is a connector? What are the categories of connectors?

What is a connector

The connector, CONNECTOR. Domestically also known as connectors, plugs and sockets. Generally refers to electrical connectors. That is, a device that connects two active devices, transmitting current or signals.

The connector is a component that our electronic engineering technicians often contact. Its function is very simple: build a bridge of communication between the blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current flows and the circuit realizes the predetermined function.

A connector is an indispensable part of an electronic device. Observe the path of current flow and you will always find one or more connectors. The form and structure of connectors are ever-changing. With different application objects, frequency, power, application environment, etc., there are various types of connectors. For example, the connector for lighting on the court and the connector for the hard drive, and the connector for lighting the rocket are very different.

But no matter what kind of connector, we must ensure that the current flows smoothly and reliably. In general terms, the connector is not limited to the current. In the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, in the optical fiber system, the carrier for transmitting signals is light. Glass and plastic replace the wires in ordinary circuits, but the optical signal Connectors are also used in the pathway, and they have the same function as circuit connectors.

What are the classification of connectors

The connector, CONNECTOR. It is a kind of component often contacted by electronic engineering technicians. Domestically also known as connectors, plugs and sockets. Generally refers to electrical connectors. That is, a device that connects two active devices, transmitting current or signals. Connector brands include Kanamei, Nutrik, Fortune Eagle, Toshiba, Molex, etc. The connectors commonly used in our daily life can be divided into the following categories:

1. Bar/press connector

2. Circular connector

3. Rectangular/heavy load connector

4. RF coaxial connector

5. PCB/printed circuit board connector

6. Wire-to-wire connector

7. FFC/FPC/Film cable connector

8. Flat cable connector

9. Computer equipment connector

10. Video/audio signal connector

11. Mobile phone connector

12. Power connector

13. High voltage connector

14. Automotive connectors

15. Aviation connectors

16. High-speed signal linker

17. Optical fiber connector

18. Microwave linker

19. Waterproof connector

20. High temperature resistant connector

The above is the whole content of what is the connector and what are the classification of the connector. I believe you have a deeper understanding of what the connector is. I hope that the above can bring some help.
