What Are the Types of Electronic Connectors?

Electronic connectors are also often called circuit connectors. Electrical connectors are conductor devices that bridge two conductors on a loop so that current or signals can flow from one conductor to another. Regarding the classification of electronic connectors, at present, they are mainly distinguished from three aspects: shape, structure, and use. The details are as follows:

1. According to the appearance: circular electrical connector, rectangular electrical connector. Circular electrical connectors are the most used in military equipment (aeronautics and aerospace). Rectangular electrical connectors are mostly used on printed circuit boards of electronic devices.

2. According to the structure:

According to the connection method: threaded connection, bayonet (quick) connection, card lock connection, push-pull connection, direct plug-in connection, etc.;

According to the contact body termination form: crimping, welding, winding; screw (cap) fixing;

Classified by environmental protection: environment-resistant electrical connector and ordinary electrical connector

3. According to the purpose: sealed electrical connectors, high temperature electrical connectors, separate electrical connectors, filter electrical connectors, power electrical connectors.
