Gender: Indicates the geometry of the mating surface of the connection. Various sizes are available, with inner diameter, outer diameter, and mating length of plug and jack needing to be compatible in order to achieve a proper connection.Ĭonnector Type: Indicates the style/format of the connectors used to connect this product. They are characterized by a tube-shaped plug having electrical contacts on the inner and outer surfaces. Power barrel connectors are most commonly used to connect low-voltage DC power provided from a wall mounted AC-DC converter to small electronic equipment, such as laptop computers and printers. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and/or other system components.This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Power Connectors category on Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Termination: Describes the shape or standard configuration of a device’s electrical connection(s).Ĭontact Material: Indicates the material from which a contact is fabricated.Ĭontact Finish: Indicates the contact surface material.Ĭontact Finish Thickness: Indicates the thickness of contact surface material.Ĭontact Type: Indicates geometry of contacts within connector products.Ĭolor: The color of the item/device’s main non-conducting body.įlange Feature: Describes the design of a part’s mounting flange and the fasteners used in conjunction therewith. Read Out: Indicates whether a connector provides interconnect functionality to contacts on one or both sides of a board/card.įeatures: Special features or functions the device includes. Pitch: The center to center distance from one contact/position to the next. Number of Rows: How many rows the connector has. Number of Positions: The total number of electrical conductors the device has.Ĭard Thickness: The nominal circuit board (card) thickness with which a device is compatible. Number of Positions/Bay/Row: The number of circuits in the connector per row, enumerated for each segment of the connector.

A common use case being the connection of accessory cards such as graphics accelerators to computer motherboards in desktop PC applications, they offer a relatively low-cost, high density interconnect option for applications where durability is not a primary concern.Ĭard Type: Indicates industry standard interfaces or form factors in which a product is commonly incorporated, or describes accommodated arrangements of board-side contacts where a typical application is not specified. This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Edgeboard Connectors category on Ĭard edge or edgeboard connectors are a style of connector system in which (typically) a pattern of exposed copper regions at the periphery of a printed circuit board constitutes one-half of a mating connector pair.
