Importance of connectors in electronic devices

In order to build a connection between two components of any electronic device, connectors are used. The connector’s plays quiet an essential role and are known as known as electro mechanical device.  In addition, they are available in several types and one of them serves different function.

Following are few types of connectors-

• Crimp on – when fast connections are to be made using high-grade radio frequency, then crimp on is used in such applications. These are used on high scale that is mostly in major industries because these industries require solder less attachments that can be available through this.

• Ring and spade – in this category, there are basically two types called as insulated and non-insulated types. Each of these types are available in diverse sizes that served as different purpose of various industries. There sizes are distinguished by size of conducting wire screw and AWG. There availability comes either in vinyl, nylon, and heat shrinkable spades.

• Plug and socket – plugs and sockets are available in many applications that include telephone, computer and many consumer appliances. Plug is a connector in which pin is usually attached to the wire and then connected with a socket. They are usually made from pin contacts and socket contracts, which are also known as male and female plug.

• Component and device – in order to connect and disconnect the terminals, components as well as the device play an imperative role in diverse electronic applications.

• Insulation displacement – the use of insulation displacement come in use in telephones, computers and other networking industries. It is widely used in these applications because of its properties of insulation displacement.

• Terminal blocks – terminal blocks is useful in joining two wires without physically combining them thus being a flexible connector.

• Binding post – blind post is basically used in amplifiers as well as loudspeakers.

• Blade – you can find use of blade in many electronic components. Single wire is attached to a receptacle thus making most important choice for use in many industries.

However, while choosing any of the connectors, it is very important to know your requirements like for hybrid, UHF, banana, BNC, 8P8C, USB, spade lugs terminals. Make sure that you ensure its reliability, water resistance, insulation, vibration, and pressure and ability factors.
