The basic meaning of the connector

Oct 30, 2018

Connectors are a component that our electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with. Its role is very simple: to bridge the communication between the blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current flows, so that the circuit achieves the intended function. Connectors are an indispensable part of an electronic device. 

You will always find one or more connectors along the path through which the current flows. The form and structure of the connector are ever-changing. There are various types of connectors depending on the application object, frequency, power, and application environment. For example, the connector for lighting on the court and the connector for the hard drive, as well as the connector for igniting the rocket, are quite different. 

But no matter what kind of connector, it is necessary to ensure smooth and continuous current flow. In general terms, the connection of the connector is not limited to current. In today's rapid development of optoelectronic technology, in the optical fiber system, the carrier that transmits the signal is light, and the glass and plastic replace the wires in the ordinary circuit, but the optical signal Connectors are also used in the vias, which function the same as circuit connectors.
