In this article we will learn about the types of connectors.
We will know about how many types of connector which are used to connect two
connector.
Types of Connectors
Introduction of Connectors
For knowing types of connector we need to know introduction of
connector.
A connector is an electromechanically device used for
joining electrical circuits as an interface using a mechanical assembly.
There are various
types of connectors are following.
1. Male/Female type DB Connectors
A D-sub contains two or more parallel rows of pins or
sockets usually surrounded by D-shaped metal shield that provides mechanical
support, ensures correct orientation, and may screen against electromagnetic
interference.
A. Male Connector
The part containing pin contacts is called the male
connector or plug.
B. Female Connector
The part containing socket contacts is called the female
connector or socket.
1. The sockets shield fits tightly inside the plugs shield.
2. panel mounted connectors usually have threaded nuts that
accept screws on the cable and connector cover
that are used for locking the
connectors together and offering mechanical strain relief.
3. Occasionally the nuts may be found on a cable end
connector if it is expected to connect to another cable end.
4. When screen cable are used, cable are used, the shield
are connected to the overall screens of the cables. This creates an
electrically continuous screen covering the whole cable and connector system.
2. Servo 0.1” Connector
In the electronics industry, connectors are most commonly referred
to by the spacing between contacts. The most popular size, without a doubt, is
the 0.1” connector. It is main types of connectors
Open up any computer and you will find tons of 0.1”
connectors from IDE cables to USB and fire wire headers. That’s exactly the
type of connector used by the RC industry for servo and anything else that
plugs into you receiver. 0.1” connector applies to servo connectors and
vice-versa.
3. RCA Connector
A RCA connector, sometimes called a phono connector or cinch
connector, is a type of electrical connector commonly used to carry audio and video
signals. The RCA connectors are also sometimes casually referred to as A/V
(audio/ video) jacks. The name of RCA derives frame the Radio Corporation of
America.
4. BNC connector
The BNC (Bayonet Ne ill-councilman) connector is miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable. If features two bayonet lugs on the female connector, mating is fully achieved with a quarter turn of the coupling nut.it is also main types of connectors.
5. HDMI Connector (high definition multimedia interface)
HDMI is a compact audio/video interface for transferring
uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from
a HDMI compliant source device. Such as a display controller, to a compatible
computer monitor, video projector, digital television or digital audio device.
There are some more types of connector which is given below.
6. Audio \ Video connector
Audio connector and video connectors are electrical
connector (or optical connector) for carrying audio signal and video signal of
either analog or digital format.
7. DIN Connector
A DIN connector is connector that was originally standardized
by the detaches institute for norming (DIN).
8. XLR Connector
XLR connector plugs and sockets are used mostly in
professional audio and video electronics cabling applications. XLR connectors
are also known as cannon plugs. They are used for analog or digital balanced
audio with a balanced line.
9. Mini-DIN connector
The mini- DIN connector is a family of multi-pin electrical
connectors used in a variedty of applications. Mini DOM is similar to larger odder
DIN connector.
10. RF Connector
A coaxial RF connector (radio frequency connector) is an
electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi
megahertz range.
11. USB Connector
A universal serial bus (USB) connector is a connector
between a computer and a peripheral device such as a printer, monitor, scanner
mouse or keyboard. It is a part of the USB interface, which includes types of parts,
cables and connectors.
Hence it is the types of connector if you will find any
