There are so many types of connectors that it is difficult for people to distinguish the differences between them, such as connectors, terminals, plug-ins, etc. Today, we will introduce their applications.
Ⅰ. Electronic connector meaning
Electronic connectors, also known as connectors, are a subclass of electronic components and are mainly used for connections between circuits.
- Connectors are a major category, which are called connectors, plugs and sockets in China. It is a component that electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with, mostly referring to electronic connectors, which connect two electronic products with components to transmit current or signals.
- A connector is a positioning joint for connecting electronic circuits. It consists of two parts, the plug-in and the joint. Generally, they can be completely separated, so the connector can also be called a connector.
- The terminal block is an accessory product used to achieve electrical connections and is used to connect wires. In fact, it is a metal piece sealed in insulating plastic. There are holes at both ends for wires to be inserted. The terminal block can be divided into plug-in terminal blocks and European terminal blocks.
Line connections are ubiquitous in industrial production, so the application range of connectors is of course also very wide.
Ⅱ. Distinguishing electronic connectors
- Electrical connectors are referred to as connectors, also known as connectors, which are a subdivision of electronic components and are mainly used for the connection between circuits. In the current electronic industry production, the line connection of connectors can be said to be everywhere, so the application range of connectors is very wide and can be indirectly applied to various industries.
- There are many specific classifications of connectors, such as rectangular connectors, TXGA circular connectors, Lemo connector, ladder connectors, etc. Terminal blocks are a type of connector, generally rectangular connectors. The application scope of terminal blocks is relatively simple, generally used in the field of electronics and electrical, for internal and external connections of PCB circuit boards, printed boards and distribution cabinets.
- The use of terminal blocks is becoming more and more extensive, and there are more and more types. At present, in addition to PCB board terminals, there are also hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, etc. In the power industry, there are special terminal blocks and terminal boxes, which are all wiring terminals, single-layer, double-layer, current, voltage, etc.
Generally speaking, “connector”, “terminal block” and “connector” are different forms of expression, belonging to the same concept, but simply named according to different practices .
