What Is The Difference Between Car Terminal, Connector And Plug-in?

Some customers often confuse connectors, plug-ins, and terminals. Some customers believe that these three concepts are the same. Share 3 or more knowledge in three areas in order to better understand the relationship and difference between the three.

The first one: What are the three concepts of "connectors", "inserts" and "terminals"?

1. Connectors, also called plugs, plugs and sockets, usually refer to electronic connectors, that is, signals connected to two active devices through current or signals. This function is very simple: between the circuits is a blocking or isolation circuit, build an AC bridge, let the current pass, so that the circuit achieves the predetermined function.

2. The power plug is a positioning connector used to connect electronic circuits. It consists of a plug and a connector. Under normal circumstances, it can be completely separated, so the plug is also called a connector.

3. The car terminal is an important accessory used by the company to realize the connection of electrical equipment. It is a company product and can facilitate the connection of wires. In fact, we are a piece of metal sealed inside such a section of insulating plastic, with holes at both ends , It can be inserted into the wire, the terminal can be divided into plug-in terminal, European terminal and so on.

The second question: the connection line, the dependency between the connection line and the terminal?

1. Connectors and connectors belong to the primary industry category and are a general term. The difference is that the Chinese connector is the connection between the line and the connector is the connection between the line box and the board box. People often refer to the two products of the same data type in a vague way, and the wiring work terminal belongs to a different type of products for large enterprises.

2. Connectors, connectors do not use tools, plugs or screws can be quickly connected to electronic components, car terminals need to use tools that connect the two points, such as screwdrivers, cold tongs, etc., usually used to connect power, output, etc. .

Question 3: How to use "connector", "insert" and "terminal"?

1. The connector is mainly suitable for the connection between the circuit and the circuit. It is the core theoretical basic element necessary for the connection of the electrical equipment of the system. The connector is mainly used in the application research field of smart home, car, communication, computer, external equipment, With the development of economy in industry, military industry, and aerospace, students’ application abilities will become more and more extensive, and basic information will be used in different industries.

2. At present, the most commonly used automotive terminals are pcb terminals, in addition to hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, automotive wiring terminals and so on. There are many types of connectors, including round connectors, rectangular connectors, trapezoidal connectors, terminal connectors, terminal connectors, terminal connectors, etc. They are generally used in the field of electronics and electrical appliances, such as pcb circuit boards, printed circuit boards and Inside and outside the distribution box.
