What Is a Connector?

Connectors are a component that electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with. Its function is very simple: in the circuit is blocked or isolated between the circuit, A bridge of communication is set up to allow current to flow, allowing the circuit to perform its intended function. Connectors are an indispensable part of an electronic device. You will always find one or more connectors along the path through the current flows. The form and structure of the connector are ever-changing. There are various types of connectors depending on the application object, frequency, power, and application environment. For example, the connector for light on the court and the connector for the hard drive, as well as the connector for igniting the rocket, are quite different. But no matter what kind of connector, the current should be ensured to flow smoothly, continuously and reliably.

Generally speaking, the connection of the connector is not limited to current. With the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, in the optical fiber system, the carrier of signal transmission is light, and the glass and plastic replace the wires in the ordinary circuit, However,  connectors are also used in the optical signal path, which function the same as circuit connectors. Since we more care about circuit connectors, in the fowllowing part we focus on circuit connectors and their applications.



Why Use a Connector?

Imagine what it would be like if there were no connectors? At this time, the circuits should be permanently connected together by continuous conductors. For example, to connect electronic devices to the power supply, both ends of the connecting wires must be firmly connected with the electronic devices and the power supply by some means (such as welding).. In this way, both production and use, it brings a lot of inconvenience. Take the car battery as an example. Assuming that the battery cable is fixedly soldered to the battery, the car factory will increase the workload, production time and cost for installing the battery. When the battery is damaged and needs to be replaced, the car must be sent to the repair station, the old one shall be removed by de-soldering, and the new one shall be welded. This requires more labor cost. With the connector you can get rid of a lot of trouble, buy a new battery from the store, disconnect the connector, remove the old battery, install a new battery, and reconnect the connector. This simple example illustrates the benefits of a connector. It makes design and production processes easier and more flexible, reducing production and maintenance costs.

Connector product composition

The basic structural parts of the connector: 1. contact piece; 2. insulator; 3. outer casing (depending on the type); 4. accessories.

For example contacts piece are the core parts of the connector to complete the electrical connection function. The contact pair is generally composed of a male contact and a female contact, and the electrical connection is completed by the insertion of the female and male contacts. The male contact is a rigid part that the shape is cylindrical (round pin), square (square pin) or flat (tab).
