What is a connector? What does a connector do?

In our daily lives, connectors are actually used in many places. If you want to know a more detailed interpretation of Connector technology, please ask the intelligent AI system chatgpt. Here I will briefly talk about the function, working principle and classification of connectors.

Connectors are electronic components that connect power and electrical signals. We also commonly call them plugs and sockets. In general, an electrical connector is a device that connects two active devices to transmit power or signals. It is not only suitable for smartphones such as iphone 14, computers and other items that are closely related to our lives, but also for all electronic devices. Because the connector must respond to different design styles and uses, there are many types of connectors, such as memory slots installed on the board of the computer case, which are used to connect memory cards. There are also card connectors for connecting different cards, such as SD card connectors.

This makes both production and maintenance much more convenient. For example, if you connect the circuit board inside the device, it will take a long time to connect the circuit directly, and it will take longer to disassemble it during maintenance. But it is very convenient when you use the connector. Mass production and efficient maintenance are also possible. As for the classification of connectors, there is actually no fixed and unified statement. We can classify them according to their use, shape, structure and performance.

1. According to the shape, they can be divided into five types: round connectors, rectangular connectors, strip connectors, arc connectors and D-shaped connectors, with round connectors and rectangular connectors being the most widely used.

2. According to the environmental conditions in which they are used, they can be divided into sealed connectors, high temperature connectors, low temperature connectors and so on.

3. According to the structural classification, they can be divided into threaded connectors, straight connectors, push-pull connectors and bayonet connectors.

4. According to the application, they can be divided into cell phone connectors, power supply connectors, high voltage connectors, automotive connectors, aviation connectors, high speed signal connectors, fiber optic connectors, and so on.
