What are wire-to-board connectors? What types of specifications are available?

A Wire-to-Board Connector is a connector used to connect wires or cables to an electronic circuit board. They provide a reliable method of connecting wires to pins, sockets, or other electronic components on a circuit board to transmit electrical signals, power, or data.
Wire-to-board connectors are used in a wide variety of electronic devices and systems, including consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial controls, communications equipment, and more. They can be selected according to different application needs and specification requirements.
The following are some common specifications and types of wire-to-board connectors:
Pin Header Connector (Pin Header Connector): Pin Header connectors usually consist of two parts: the pins are soldered to the board, while the connector holders are used for mating connections. They have a simple design and installation, suitable for low-speed signal transmission and low power applications.
Socket Connector: Socket connectors are the companion part of pin connectors, they have hole slots that match the pins for inserting and securing the pins. Socket connectors provide easy plugging and unplugging for applications that require frequent connections and disconnections.
Terminal Block Connector (Terminal Block Connector): Terminal block connectors are multi-position connectors, usually with multiple pins or sockets, for connecting multiple wires or cables. They provide flexible wiring and reliable electrical connections and are commonly used in power and industrial control applications.
Spring-Loaded Connector: Spring-loaded connectors use spring contact technology to bring the pins into contact with the connector seat by spring force to ensure a stable electrical connection. They are suitable for applications requiring reliable connections in high-vibration environments, such as mobile devices and in-vehicle applications.
FPC/FFC Connectors (Flexible Printed Circuit/Flat Flexible Cable Connector): FPC/FFC connectors are used to connect flexible printed circuit boards (FPC) or flat flexible cables (FFC), providing a flexible connection solution. They are commonly used in applications such as portable devices, LCD displays and cameras.
DIN connectors: DIN connectors are circular connectors with multiple pins and sockets for use in industrial and audio equipment. They provide a reliable electrical connection and mechanical protection.
These are just some of the common specifications and types of wire-to-board connectors. There are actually many other types of connectors available, each with different characteristics, dimensions and electrical performance parameters to meet the needs of different applications. When selecting wire-to-board connectors, factors such as connector durability, electrical performance, reliability and adaptability need to be considered to ensure that the connection is stable and performance requirements are met.
