It is also called connector, plug and socket in China. Generally refers to an electrical connector. I.e. a device connecting two active devices to transmit current or signals. It is widely used in aviation, aerospace, national defense and other military systems.

Reason for use

Imagine what would happen if there were no connectors? At this time, the circuits shall be permanently connected by continuous conductors. For example, if the electronic device is to be connected to the power supply, both ends of the connecting wire must be firmly connected with the electronic device and the power supply by some means (such as soldering).

In this way, no matter for production or use, it brings a lot of inconvenience. Take the automobile battery as an example. Assuming that the battery cable is fixed and welded on the battery, the automobile manufacturer will increase the workload, production time and cost for installing the battery. When the battery is damaged and needs to be replaced, the car must be sent to the maintenance station, and the old one must be removed by desoldering, and then the new one must be welded. Therefore, more labor costs must be paid. With the connector, you can save a lot of trouble. Just buy a new battery from the store, disconnect the connector, remove the old battery, install a new battery, and reconnect the connector. This simple example illustrates the benefits of connectors. It makes the design and production process more convenient and flexible, and reduces the production and maintenance costs.

Benefits of wafer connectors:

1. Improve the production process connector to simplify the assembly process of electronic products. It also simplifies the batch production process;

2. Easy maintenance if an electronic component fails, it can be quickly replaced when a connector is installed;

3. Easy to upgrade with the progress of technology, when the connector is installed, it can update the components and replace the old ones with new and more complete components;

4. Improve design flexibility using connectors enables engineers to have greater flexibility when designing and integrating new products and when composing systems with components.
