Main Category of Electrical connector

 

The classification of electrical connectors and application  

Electrical connection allows the current in the circuit is blocked at the barrier or isolated circuit can flow to achieve the intended function of the circuit. Some connectors are made in the form of an ordinary socket, cable industry has been widely recognized and used.

Over the years the classification of electrical connectors confusion, all manufacturers have their own classifications and standards. The National Electronic Distributors Association (NEDA, the National Electronic Distributors Association) hosted in 1989 developed a set of known classifications of the connector parts package (Levels of Packaging) standards. According to the criteria, communication links typically use four connectors. And applications to discuss the connector.But just for learning and classification level connector, the actual work is rarely talked about the connector according to the above level, but in accordance with the appearance of the connector structure of the form and way of connecting to name it (different structure named by the electrical connectors internationally accepted norms to make specific provisions in detail; In general, the different structure of the connectors, have a different range of applications.) Communication network connections often depend on the media, so the connection is usually in different media, connectivity and applications to discuss the connector.

1. Multi-line cable connector

Multi-line cable connector, including DB connector and DIX connectors and DIN connectors.

(1) DB-type connectors, including DB-9, DB-15, DB-25 connector, which is used to connect serial devices and parallel port cable, into the positive side and negative side, DB25 DB is represented in the D-type connector, digital 25 representative of the number of connector pins. DB25 connector is now commonly used in computer components and line interface.

(2) DIX connector: it looks like the DB-15 connector. It is slipping connection to achieve, and DB15 connection to the fixed by screws, often used to connect Thick Ethernet

(3) DIN connector: DIN connector in a different arrangement of pins and needles form, it is usually in connection Macintosh and Apple Talk networks.

2. Twisted-pair connector          

Twisted pair connections includes two connectors: RJ45 and RJ11. RJ is to describe the public telecom network interface, in the past, Class 4, Category 5, Cat5e, or even the introduction of the near Category 6 cabling, the RJ-type interfaces are used.

(1)  RJ11 connectors: a telephone line type connector supports 2 lines and 4 lines, telephone lines are generally used for user access.

(2)  RJ45 connectors: one of the same type of connector, socket type, larger than the RJ11 connector and supports 8 lines, is a standard interface, commonly known as 8-bit modular, multi-network connectivity for twisted pair . As the circuit are balanced by its transmitter and receiver, and therefore have a high common mode rejection capability.

3. Coaxial cable connector

Coaxial cable connectors include BNC T connector and terminal connector and resistor.

(1)  T connector: for connecting coaxial cable and BNC connector.

(2)  BNC connectors: BayoNette Bayonet barrel connector for the network segment connected to the BNC connector. Communications and computer markets and the rapid growth of communications technology and computer technologies have become the coaxial connector to stimulate growth in demand for primary factors. Because coaxial cable and BNC T-connectors connectors rely on the connection, so BNC connectors for the industry are optimistic about the market.

(3)  Terminal: Cable needs to termination, termination is a special connector, which has a carefully chosen internal matching resistor network cable properties, each of which a terminal device must be grounded.

4)  More than in the thick cable with N-type Ethernet connector, the workstation does not directly access to Ethernet networks, but by a transceiver, AUI connector through a (DIX connector) connected to the transceiver.

RF coaxial connector type from the connection points, mainly in the following three:

(1)   Thread connection type: such as: APC-7, N, TNC, SMA, SMC, L27, L16, L12, L8, L6, etc. RF coaxial connector. This connection in the form of connector with high reliability, shielding effect is good, so applications are most widely used.

(2)   Outlet connector type: such as BNC, C, Q9, Q6 and other RF coaxial connector. This connector has the connection convenient, fast and so is the application of the first international radio frequency connector form.

(3)   line push connection types: such as SMB, SSMB, MCX, etc., this form of connector connected with a simple and compact structure, small size, easy-to-small size and other characteristics.
