Types of cassette connectors

A box connector is a connector widely used in electronic equipment, usually in the shape of a square box, hence the name box connector. It is a connector that connects several components such as circuit boards, wires and housings together. In modern electronic equipment, the box connector has become one of the essential components. This article will discuss the structure, type, characteristics, application and selection of the box connector.Pin Header

First, the structure of the cassette connector

The cassette connector consists of a shell, plug-in, socket, shrapnel and other parts, of which the shell as a whole, to protect the role of internal electronic components, but also has a beautiful appearance. The inserts and sockets are the core components of the box connector, they are used to connect circuit boards, wires, etc. and therefore have reliable contact and good electrical properties. Plugs and sockets are equipped with metal cages or snap pin cages, so that the plug and socket are fixed without loosening, in order to achieve a reliable connection. The spring is used to hold and insert the spring in the plug and socket, which has the advantages of high pressure and good elasticity.Female Header Connector

Second, the type of box connector connector

There are many types of cassette connectors, mainly according to the use of occasions and connection methods.Box Header

1, according to the connection method:

(1) Welded cassette connectors:

Welded box connector connectors, plug-ins and sockets are used to connect the circuit board or wire welding, the connection can be divided into crimp and snap type two. Crimp type welding method is to plug into the socket, the use of crimping machine or manual crimping tool will need to crimp the plug parts to the circuit board, the socket needs to crimp the parts to connect the wire or PCB cloth circuit to achieve circuit connection. Snap-on connection is usually inserted into the socket when the plug-in base will be above a snap snap on top of the socket, suitable for the occasions requiring plugging and unplugging will not be too many times.

(2) Plug-in cassette connectors:

In plug-in box connector connectors, both the plug-in and the socket are connected in a plug-in manner, and the object of connection can be PCB layout circuits, wires or cables, etc. To ensure the quality and reliability of the connection, the plug and socket are usually designed with many shrapnel between them to ensure that the plug and socket have a high strength contact force between them, so as to achieve the transmission of circuit signals.

2, according to the use of points:

(1) signal box connector connector:

Signal box connector connector is mainly used in the field of signal transmission, it has a fast connection, compact structure, signal transmission quality and other characteristics, suitable for communications, data transmission and audio and video equipment and other fields.

(2) Power box connector connectors:

The power box connector has the characteristics of withstanding high current peaks, robust structure and quick installation, and is suitable for power supply systems, electric motors, electronic equipment and other high-power equipment fields.

(3) High-speed cassette connectors:

High-speed box connector connector has a fast transmission rate, multimedia integration, high reliability and other characteristics, suitable for medical equipment, industrial automation, aerospace and other fields.

Three, the characteristics of the box connector connector

The cassette connector has the following characteristics:

1, high reliability: cassette connectors have strong durability and reliability, can withstand strong mechanical stress, has a good shock resistance, in addition to cassette connectors can also withstand and resist chemical and electrochemical effects.

2. Standardisation of the interface: the dimensions and structure of the cassette connectors are standardised to ensure complete consistency, interchangeability and versatility of the connection.

3. Easy to install and maintain: The cassette connectors are manufactured in standard sizes and in accordance with standard connection methods, making them easy to install and maintain.

4, easy to expand and upgrade: box connector connectors are more diverse and interchangeable, so they can be easily expanded and upgraded, making it easy to upgrade and maintain the system.

Fourth, the application of the box connector connector

Box connector connectors are widely used in electronic equipment, communication equipment, industrial automation equipment and other fields, the specific applications are as follows:

1, electronic equipment: such as mobile phones, flat panels, TVs and other consumer electronics, as well as industrial controllers, power supplies, instruments and other.

2, communication equipment: such as computer servers, switches, routers and other data centres and communication equipment.

3, industrial automation equipment: such as machine tools, industrial robots, automated production lines, etc.

V. Selection of cassette connectors

In the selection of box connector connectors, you need to make appropriate considerations according to your own use scenario, such as high signal transmission requirements, power system power, etc.. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the performance parameters of the connector (such as current, voltage, temperature resistance, environmental requirements, etc.) as well as the installation method. Before proceeding, the connector needs to be checked to determine the reliability and safety of the connection.

In conclusion, the box connector connector is a very important connector in the field of electronic equipment, its simple structure, high reliability, good stability and a wide range of applications. In our future daily life and work, we need to understand box connector connectors more deeply to provide better support and service for their use, upgrade and maintenance.
