Wire-to-board Connector is a widely used type of connector designed to make electrical connections between cables (wires) and circuit boards (boards). Its main function is to transfer electronic circuits from external cables to circuit boards through physical and electrical contact, achieving effective transmission of electrical signals and stability of electrical connections. Wire-to-board connectors are usually composed of pins (or pin pieces) and sockets, ensuring reliable data and power transmission through precise mechanical fit and electrical contact.
Main features of wire-to-board connectors:
- Structural design: The design of wire-to-board connectors includes a variety of arrangements and contact types to meet different connection requirements. Common designs include straight-in and angled types, each designed to optimize the stability of the connection and space utilization efficiency.
- Electrical performance: High-quality wire-to-board connectors have excellent electrical performance, including low contact resistance, high voltage resistance, and high current capability. These properties ensure that there will be no signal loss or electrical interference during the connection process, thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
- Mechanical stability: The mechanical stability of the wire-to-board connector is critical, especially in vibration and shock environments. Good mechanical design can prevent the connector from loosening or falling off, ensuring long-term stable connection.
Application scenarios:
- Consumer electronics: Wire-to-board connectors are used to connect external cables to internal circuit boards in consumer electronics products such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops. These products usually require connectors with higher density and miniaturization to save space and improve product portability.
- Industrial Automation: In industrial equipment and automation systems, wire-to-board connectors are used to connect components such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. These connectors need to have excellent environmental resistance, such as vibration resistance, high temperature resistance, and dust resistance, to adapt to complex industrial environments.
- Automotive electronics: In modern cars, wire-to-board connectors are widely used in on-board electronic systems, including power systems, infotainment systems, and safety systems. Due to the harshness of the automotive environment, these connectors need to have high temperature resistance and anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities.
- Medical equipment: Connectors for medical equipment require high reliability and precision to ensure the safety and stability of medical equipment during use. Wire-to-board connectors are used in medical equipment to connect various cables and circuit boards to achieve signal transmission and power supply.
