The main types of wire to board connectors
There are many types of wire to board connectors, and suitable connector types can be selected according to different application requirements and usage environments. Below are several common types of wire to board connectors.
1. Spring contact connector: This type of connector uses springs to connect pins and sockets, with good contact performance and reliability. It is suitable for occasions that require frequent plugging and unplugging, such as testing instruments, measuring equipment, etc.
2. Crimp connector: This type of connector uses metal sheets or springs to connect the pins and sockets, and connects the circuit by compressing the pins and sockets. It is suitable for occasions that require fixed connections and stable performance, such as power sockets, sensors, etc.
3. IDC connector: IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Connection, which means insulation displacement connection. This type of connector involves stripping the insulation layer of the wire, inserting the exposed wire into the socket, and connecting the wire to the socket using the blade on the socket. It is suitable for mass production and quick installation scenarios, such as televisions, computers, etc.
