CONNECTORS

An electronic connector is an electro-mechanical device whose purpose is to quickly and easily disconnect or interrupt a circuit path. Connectors come in a variety of sizes, shapes, complexities and quality levels. Their function dictates their design and different features are added to adjust the ease of connection, mating type, durability, insulation between pins, etc. In addition, because many connectors must perform their job in rugged conditions, their construction is often adjusted to provide protection from vibrations, extreme temperatures, dirt, water, contaminants, and more.
