Connectors components help join electrical circuits together. A connector can either join two wires together or connect one wire to a terminal. Connectors usually are designed with a “keyed” method to avoid having the parts mate with incorrect parts. Did you know there are over hundreds of different types of connectors in the electronic component family? To name a few: backplane, banana, barrel, blade type power, modular, rectangular, terminal blocks, and many more.
Connectors are categorized by the way they function and designed.
Power connectors – this type of connector is used to connect power to devices such as PCs and testing equipment.
Audio connectors – connectors in this category have been around for awhile. Audio connectors are synonymous to RCA plug and jack connectors. These are are usually used to connect devices such as microphones and amplifiers
BNC and UHF connectors – commonly used for test equipment like the oscilloscopes. Both types are primarily attached to coaxial cables carrying a RF signal.
D-Shell connectors – connectors like these are used on ports that connect to the PC such as a printer port connector
Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDCs)
