PCB CONNECTORS AND THEIR TYPES

Image
What are PCB Connectors? There are many different types of PCB connectors, which is not surprising, given the many different types of components and devices that are attached with these connectors. Some printed circuit board connectors are designed to operate under stressful conditions, to support relatively heavy loads and to provide stability and safety under those circumstances. Other printed circuit board connectors are much more delicate. Printed circuit board connectors often come in kits, with both ends of the connection and the hardware required to install the connector to the printed circuit board. Some printed circuit board connectors can only work with one type of a connector and others are designed to work with stripped wires, making it possible to hook up devices generically, without relying upon a specific type of connector to complete the circuit. TYPES OF PCB CONNECTORS-- -- Rectangular connectors-- Rectangular connectors are used widely in modular ma
