What's the difference between connectors and connectors?

Many people may be confused when understanding connectors. They don't know the difference between connectors and male and female terminals. First of all, the biggest difference between connectors and connectors is their different concepts. Connector is a positioning connector for connecting electronic circuits, which consists of two parts. Secondly, the role of the female terminal is to receive and receive the male terminal, and the role of the male terminal is to insert other components. Specific connector knowledge, come with me to see in the article! What's the difference between connectors and connectors?

For some practitioners who have just started to contact the connector industry, they may not know the difference between "connector" and "connector" in the early stage. Here is a brief explanation of the difference between the two:

1, concept

(1) connectors are a big category, which are called connectors, plugs and sockets in China. It is a kind of component that electronic engineers and technicians often contact. Most of them refer to electrical connectors, which connect two electronic products with components to transmit current or signals.

(2) The connector is a positioning connector for connecting electronic circuits, which consists of a plug-in and a connector, which can be completely separated, so the connector can also be called a connector.

2. Scope of ownership

(1) "connector = connector" is the first type, and connector is the connection between lines; A connector is a connection between wires and a circuit board. In our real life, people often refer to the same type of products vaguely.

(2) In the field of electrician or electricity: connectors and connectors are the same type of products. Generally speaking, it is the kind of electronic component that one end of the male connector and the other end of the female connector can be quickly connected without tools being inserted or screwed in.

2. What is the difference between the male and female terminals of the connector?

The difference between male and female terminals of connectors is mainly in function: in electronic industry and mechanical industry, products or some components using connectors are usually designed as male and female terminals, because this design is very convenient for manufacturing or trade. We can generally understand that the role of the female terminal is to receive and accept the male connector. In addition, one or more protrusions may be inserted into other parts. This type of connector is usually called the male end. If it is the other way around, it is called the female terminal, so the word male and female is used to indicate the type and name of the connector.
