What is a electrical connector?

What is a connector
A connector is a component that forms an electronic/electrical circuit through electrical connections.
The word "connector" means "something to connect", and it is used for various things today.
Connectors that connect water pipes and air cylinders, connectors that connect web data, and recently jobs and titles that connect people and jobs are also called connectors.

Atkconn manufacture and sell electrical connectors, which are the most popular types of connectors. We will introduce how the connector, which connects electricity between "something" and "something", has changed and evolved since its origin, and IRISO 's efforts.

Diversification of connectors
Visible external connector
Connectors are classified into those used outside to connect devices and units, and those used to connect inside devices and units, mainly between boards and parts. Connectors were born in the form of connecting electric wires, but the form of connecting outside the equipment is still the mainstream today. With the advancement of advanced functions, there are many things that everyone has a chance to see, such as things that connect to outlets, USB and network connectors.

Internal connector used in equipment
On the other hand, the spread of printed circuit boards has become an epoch-making (epoch-making invention) for devices used inside equipment, and several other forms of alternatives have been invented and spread. I'm coming. For example, connectors called "board-to Board To Board Connector" and "board-to-board" that connect one board to another board, and flexible printed circuit (FPC), which was invented as a flexible printed circuit board. In addition, a connector was born that connects an alternative to FPC via FFC (flexible flat cable) made by a more electric wire manufacturing method.
