What is the basic structure of the wire to wire connector?

The connector, as a key component of current or signal connection, is also an important part of the industrial system. From airplanes to rockets to mobile phones to TVs, connectors appear in various forms, bridging circuits or other components, and taking over current or signal connections. What is the basic structure of the wire-to-wire connector? Let’s discuss in the following article.

The article contains the following:

Introduction

Wire-to-Wire Connectors are a fundamental part of JST’s Electrical Connector range. JST has an array of wire-to-wire connectors that have been developed to be suitable for many different connector applications and environments.

Basic structures

The basic structural parts of the connector are: ① contact; ② insulator; ③ housing (depending on variety); ④ accessories types.

Contacts (contacts): is the core part of the connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, the contact pair is composed of a positive contact and a negative contact, and the electrical connection is completed by the insertion of the female and male contacts; Insulator: The insulator is often called the base (base) or mounting plate (insert), its role is to make The contact parts are arranged according to the required position and spacing, and ensure the insulation performance between the contact parts and between the contact parts and the housing; the shell is also called the shell (shell), which is the outer cover of the connector, which is the built-in insulating mounting plate Provide mechanical protection with pins and provide alignment when plugs and sockets are mated, and then fix the connector to the device; accessories: accessories sub-structure accessories and installation accessories.

Advantages

The appearance is made of stainless steel shot blasting sand. It has the characteristics of good air tightness and beautiful appearance. It is easy to operate and install, and it is convenient to achieve the effect of never releasing odor. It saves the old-fashioned on-ground, cumbersome installation, maintenance and connection of underground water traps.

Conclusion

Nowadays, the speed of electronic product equipment replacement is very fast, which makes the future development trend of the connector industry toward miniaturization, integration, intelligence, high performance and user-friendly are the future development trends. Only in this way can it conform to the development of the times. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be eliminated by the market.
