I believe many people may not be clear: what is the difference between connectors, connectors, and terminal blocks?

1、 Conceptually distinguish the differences between the three:

1. Connectors are a large category, commonly referred to as connectors, plugs, and sockets in China. They are components that electronic engineering technicians often come into contact with. Most of them refer to electrical connectors, which connect two components together

Electronic products used to transmit current or signals.

2. A connector is a positioning connector that connects electronic circuits and is composed of two parts, namely a connector and a connector. Generally, it can be completely separated, so a connector can also be called a connector

Connector.

3. Terminal block is a type of accessory product used to achieve electrical connections, which is applied for the convenience of wire connection. It is actually a metal piece enclosed in insulating plastic, with holes at both ends,

Wires can be inserted, and wiring terminals can be divided into plug-in type wiring terminals and European style wiring terminals.

2、 Distinguish between the three in terms of scope of ownership

1. In the fields of electrical and gas engineering, connectors and connectors are the same product. Simply put, it means that the male and female terminals can be directly connected without the need for tools, to achieve current or signal

Devices for transmission. Wiring terminals, in simple terms, require the use of tools such as screwdrivers to connect two devices for power input and output. The English name is Terminal.

2. The terminal is part of the connector. A connector is a general term, and in fact, the connectors we commonly see are usually composed of two parts: plastic and terminals. Husing is mostly made of plastic for protection

Function: Terminal is a metal that serves as a universal conductor.

3. What is the difference between connectors and connectors in the category of connectors, where connectors are connectors and connectors, and terminal blocks are just one type of connector? A connector is a connection between wires, boards, and boxes,

And connectors are the connections between wires; In real life, people often refer vaguely to the same thing.

3、 Distinguish the differences between the three in practical applications

1. Electronic connectors, also known as connectors, are a subdivision of electronic components that are used for connecting circuits. The scope of use of line connections in industrial production

Of course, it is ubiquitous and widely used in various industries.

There are many types of connectors, such as stepped connectors, circular connectors, rectangular connectors, etc. The terminal block is a type of connector, generally belonging to rectangular connectors. Scope of use of terminal strips

It is also relatively simple and generally used in the field of electronics and electrical engineering, for the internal and external connections of distribution cabinets, PCB circuit boards, and production boards.

There are many types of wiring terminals and their usage range is also very wide. At present, in addition to PCB board terminals, there are also nut terminals, spring terminals, hardware terminals, etc. that are widely used.

In summary, the electronic components of connectors, connectors, and terminal blocks belong to the same concept in different application forms, which are based on different application products, industries, and

The application location is commonly referred to as various different terms. Nowadays, the domestic environment is very unfavorable, with severe internal competition. The connector market is survival of the fittest, and everyone's pursuit of cost-effectiveness has led to a decline in connector technology

The continuous improvement of technical level has also led to the elimination of some low-quality connector manufacturers.
