It is common for some customers to confuse Connectors, connectors, and terminals. Some customers believe that these three concepts are the same. When CJT Yangtze River connector manufacturers provide pre-sales services to customers, we would like to share the relevant knowledge of these three, so that everyone can have a clearer understanding of their connections and differences. 1. Q: What are the concepts of "connector", "connector", and "terminal"?
1. Connectors, also known as connectors, plugs, and sockets in China, generally refer to electrical connectors, which are devices that connect two active devices and transmit current or signals (electrical or optical signals). Their function is very simple: to build a communication bridge between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so as to allow current to flow and achieve the predetermined function of the circuit.
2. A connector refers to an electrical connector, which is a positioning connector for connecting electronic circuits. It consists of two parts: a connector and a connector, and can be completely separated in general. Therefore, a connector can also be called a connector.
3. Terminal block is a type of accessory product used to achieve electrical connections, which is applied for the convenience of wire connection. It is actually a metal sheet enclosed in insulating plastic, with holes at both ends for inserting wires. Terminal blocks can be divided into plug-in terminal blocks, European terminal blocks, etc.
2. Q: Is there a subordinate relationship between "connectors", "connectors", and "terminals"?
1. Connectors and connectors are a general term, with the difference being that connectors are connections between wires, while connectors are connections between wires, boards, and boxes. In daily life, they are often vaguely referred to as the same type of product, while terminal blocks belong to one type of product in this category.
2. To understand the connection methods of the three, connectors and connectors are electronic components that do not require the use of tools. They can be quickly connected by inserting or twisting the male and female heads. Wiring terminals require some kind of tool, such as a screwdriver or cold press pliers, to connect the two connection points together. They are generally used for power input and output.
3. Q: How are "connectors", "connectors", and "terminals" all applied?
1. Connectors are mainly used for the connection between circuits and are essential core basic components for electrical connections in circuit systems. The main application areas of connectors are smart homes, automobiles, communications, computers and peripherals, industry, military and aerospace. With development, their application scope will become wider and wider, and they are generally used in various industries.
2. Currently, the most widely used terminals are PCB board terminals, in addition to hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, etc. There are many types of connectors, including circular connectors, rectangular connectors, and stepped connectors. Terminal blocks are generally rectangular connectors, and their application scope is relatively limited. They are generally used in the electronic and electrical field, for internal and external wiring of PCB circuit boards, printed boards, and distribution cabinets.
In fact, connectors, connectors, and terminals are different forms of application that belong to the same concept, and are commonly referred to according to different practical applications.
