A pcb board connector is a connection system mounted on a printed circuit board.PCB connectors are typically used to transfer signals or power from one PCB to another, or from another source in the structure of a device to or from a PCB. Since PCBs are not hardwired to each other and can be assembled later in the manufacturing process, they provide an easy method of manufacturing design.
circuit board connectors are also referred to as PCB interconnect products. Specialized terminology also applies to both ends of the connection. Typically, male PCB board connectors are called pin headers because they are simply rows of pins. female PCB connectors are called sockets, connectors, and even somewhat confusingly, header sockets.
This connector works as follows: usually on the insulating material, according to a predetermined design, made of printed lines, printed components or a combination of the two into a conductive pattern known as a printed circuit. And in the insulating substrate to provide electrical connections between components of the conductive pattern, known as the printed line. In this way the finished board of the printed circuit or printed line is called a printed circuit board, also known as a printed board or printed circuit board.
Classification types:
- Pin header connectors: pin header connectors are mainly used in the field of high speed data transmission, such as USB, HDMI, etc.
- Receptacle connectors: Receptacle connectors are usually used in equipment connection, such as TV, computer and other equipment.
- terminal type connector: terminal type connector is a common form of electronic connector, used to connect the terminal and circuit board.
- spring-loaded connector: spring-loaded connector is also a type of electronic connector. It allows for quick connection and removal of cables and harnesses.
- Wiring Terminal: A wiring terminal is a wiring tool that connects wires to cables. It is usually used for electrical wiring in building structures.
The main function of the circuit board connector is to provide an electrical connection, which can connect wires to the PCB connection connector, thus realizing the communication between electronic components. In addition, it has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-vibration, dustproof and high temperature resistance, which ensures the stability and reliability of the long-term operation of electronic equipment.
Main application areas.
- communication field: it is widely used in video surveillance, wireless communication, mobile communication and other fields.
- automotive electronics field: it is the most common connector in the field of automotive electronics, some of the circuits and equipment in the car need to use wire-to-board connectors.
- industrial automation field: it can connect all kinds of sensors, actuators, PLC, inverters, motors and other industrial automation equipment.
- Home appliance field: it can be applied to TV, DVD, stereo, cell phone and other electronic products, connecting various electronic components and circuit boards.
PCB board connector as a key bridge in the electronic circuit, plays an irreplaceable role in the normal operation of electronic equipment. With the continuous progress of technology and changing market demand, this connector will continue to develop and innovate, and make greater contributions to the prosperity of the electronics industry.
