1. Improve production process
The connector simplifies the assembly process of electronic products. It also simplifies the batch production process;
2. Easy maintenance
If an electronic component fails, the failed component can be replaced quickly when the connector is installed;
3. Easy to upgrade
With the progress of technology, the components can be updated when the connector is installed, and the old components can be replaced with new and more perfect components;
4. Improve design flexibility
The use of connectors gives engineers greater flexibility in designing and integrating new products and forming systems with components.
The basic performance of connectors can be divided into three categories: mechanical performance, electrical performance and environmental performance. Another important mechanical property is the mechanical life of the connector. Mechanical life is actually an index of durability, which is called mechanical operation in the national standard gb5095. It takes one insertion and one pull-out as a cycle, and takes whether the connector can normally complete its connection function (such as contact resistance value) after the specified plug-in cycle as the evaluation basis.
Connectors can be divided into the following categories:
① Low frequency circular connector;
② Rectangular connector;
③ Printed circuit connector;
④ RF coaxial connector;
⑤ Optical fiber connector.
