I. What is a connector

The electronic connector generally refers to the connection unit between various electronic components, mainly used as the connection and transmission of electronic signals from chip to circuit board, between circuit boards and circuit board to box In terms of category, it can be divided into substrate connector, angle connector, cylindrical connector, and the popular PCMCIA specification connector

Although the definition of electronic connector is still unclear, its scope does not include high voltage and high current electrical appliances or electrical connectors other than power plugs or sockets; electrical switches also do not include large electrical connectors In Japan, most people in the industry use the transliteration of English (connector), sometimes called [continuous piece], while in Chinese Mainland, they use [electrical connector] or [electrical connector], including connectors and switches, regardless of electronics and appliances In terms of application, most electronic connectors are used in computers, telecommunications, aviation, automobiles and various instruments.

II. Application of connectors

The electronic connector is used in electrical products. As its name implies, it acts as an electronic number The connection of or components belongs to a kind of multi component combined or assembled product, and covers key technologies such as metal sheet, surface electroplating, precision machining and plastic molding As the transmission and connection of electronic signals, if the electronic connector fails, the electronic components and even the entire equipment will fail The whole connector includes two main parts: terminal and plastic. In addition to the selection of materials for the terminal part, the quality of products will be affected by the quality of electroplating and stamping dies. Of course, the same is true for the plastic part.

III. Manufacture of connectors

The manufacture of electronic connectors can be divided into metal and plastic parts from design to finished products In addition to material selection, electroplating and stamping die are the main work of the metal part; The work of plastic mold is plastic mold design, mold opening, injection molding, and then combined with metal components to form electronic connectors The electronic connector is used in electrical products. As its name implies, it plays the role of connecting electronic signals or components. It belongs to a product of multiple combinations or assemblies, and covers key technologies such as metal sheet, surface electroplating, precision processing and plastic molding As the transmission and connection of electronic signals, if there is a problem with the electronic connector, it will lead to the selection of materials for some parts. Besides, the quality of products will be affected by the quality of electroplating and die. Of course, the plastic part also has the same way. Its manufacturing includes five major technologies: 1. die technology. 2. injection molding technology. 3. electroplating technology. 4. assembly technology. 5. detection technology As the trend of connectors tends to be thin, short and SMT, the required manufacturing technologies also need to improve their accuracy requirements rapidly. At the same time, the precision concept of manufacturers has also changed so that precise connectors can be manufactured. Otherwise, in the future market of connectors, they will be eliminated, because the quality cannot compete with electronic components or even the entire equipment fails. The entire connector includes terminals and plastic terminals.
