Connectors

Key Types of Connectors

1. By Function:
   • Power Connectors – Deliver high current/voltage (e.g., IEC, Anderson Powerpole).
   • Signal Connectors – Transmit data/signals (e.g., USB, HDMI, BNC).
   • RF Connectors – For radio frequency applications (e.g., SMA, N-type).
2. By Structure:
   • Board-to-Board (e.g., headers, mezzanine connectors).
   • Wire-to-Board (e.g., JST, Molex).
   • Wire-to-Wire (e.g., terminal blocks, barrel connectors).
   • Panel-Mount (e.g., XLR, DIN connectors).
3. By Locking Mechanism:
   • Push-Pull (e.g., USB-C).
   • Threaded (e.g., M12 circular connectors).
   • Latch-Based (e.g., RJ45 Ethernet).
