What is an Electrical Connector?

It is a device used to establish an electrical connection between two or more circuits. The connector usually consists of a plug (male) and a socket (female), and the electrical connection is achieved through mechanical matching.

Common types of Electrical Connectors:

Plug & Socket:

One side is a plug and the other side is a socket, which is widely used in life.

For example: power plug, Jack Cable, data charging cable, etc.

Board-to-Board:

Used for connection between circuit boards, commonly used for computer motherboard and graphics card connection.

Wire-to-Board:

The cable is connected to the circuit board, used for the cable to connect to the circuit board.

Wire-to-Wire:

Direct connection between cables, commonly used for automotive wiring harnesses, other mechanical internal line connections

Circular Connector:

Cylindrical shell, generally with waterproof and dustproof design, commonly used in industry, military and aviation. For example: aviation plug, M8/M12 waterproof connector.

The components of an  Electrical Connector are:

• Conductive terminal : to achieve current or signal transmission;
• Insulator: to isolate the terminals to prevent short circuits;
• Housing/Shell: to protect the internal structure and provide mechanical strength;
• Locking/clip device: to ensure a firm connection and prevent loosening.
