Electrical connector is a certain supply functions to build electrical interconnection by joining electrical circuits, either wires or devices. This connection might be built in temporary or permanent system. Electrical connector is said to be ideal when it is designed in higher resistance of pressure, oil, water, as well as vibration. However, you should also notice that this certain supply is also available in several different types to handle several different requirements. You can get some of those types in this following list.
Terminal connector will be the first type of electrical connector you can find out there. It connects two or more electrical circuits or wires to a certain single connection point and is used within enclosed housing. It need manual connection and does not need any insulation to protect its terminal. Terminal connector is also the simplest type of connector you can find out there.
The next type is rack and panel connector, which is also called dock-and-lock connection. This is a certain connector that is used to build electrical connection between the removable part of equipment and the stationary. Usually, it is used in some applications such as printers, modems, as well as telecommunication applications where space and reliability are needed.
Mass-Termination Insulation Displacement Connector (MTIDC) is the next type of electrical connector. It is designed to accept either flat cable or ribbon, which is also known as multiwire planar cable. You can find this certain connector in form of shrouded headers, plugs or sockets. You can also find it in some different plating options, sizes, as well as pitches and. MTICDs that includes right angle, surface mount, thru hole, and board stacking is some types that you can get in the market.
The next type is plug and receptacle connector. This is a certain connector that is mostly used in several applications or systems. To make an electrical connection by using this connector, you need to insert the male plug in the female receptacle.
Those are some types of electrical connectors available out there top accomplish several different requirements. You can choose the most appropriate connector for your systems or applications.
