General Specifications




   Connector Type       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Strip Connectors
 
     Strip connectors have many contacts. They can have one or more rows (strips) of contacts.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary connectors.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Gender       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Male / Plug
 
     Male connectors or plugs are often referred to as header or free connectors. In coaxial RF connectors, the plug is normally the movable portion and is usually attached to a cable or removable sub-assembly. In shell type multiple-contact connectors, the plug usually contains the socket contacts and is mounted on the "hot" (rack) side of the system. Plugs mate with receptacles, jacks, outlets, etc.
 
   Female / Jack
 
     Female connectors or jacks are connecting devices into which plugs are inserted to make circuit connections.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted gender type.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   Mounting Style       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Bulkhead Mount
 
     The connector has a plate (bulkhead) used to mount the device.
 
   Cable End
 
     The connector is mounted at the end of an electrical cable.
 
   End Launch
 
     End launch connectors are similar to right angle PC mounts in that the connector interface is parallel to the surface of the PC board. End launchers, however, are attached to the end or edge of the PC board by soldering.
 
   2-hole Flange Mount
 
     Flange mounted connectors are attached to panels by bolting the flange or riveting it in place through the two holes in the flange surface.
 
   4-hole Flange Mount
 
     Flange mounted connectors are attached to panels by bolting the flange or riveting it in place through the four holes in the flange surface.
 
   PC Mount
 
     Connectors directly attach to the printed circuit board through pre-drilled holes in the board. Soldering permanently attaches connectors to PCB traces.
 
   Receptacle / Dummy Receptacle
 
     Connectors with receptacle mounting are used in applications where the connector is required to fit a panel cutout. Dummy receptacles are receptacles that do not have provisions for attaching conductors. They are generally used for storage of a cable assembly connector plug.
 
   In-line or Cable Receptacle
 
     Intended for cable connecting - typically mated with a straight or 90-degree plug.
 
   Jam Nut Receptacle
 
     Intended for "D" shaped holes.
 
   Solder / Weld Mount Receptacle
 
     Intended for higher-pressure systems and permanent mounting.
 
   Surface Mount (SMT)
 
     Surface mount technology (SMT) places small components on the surface of a printed circuit board. Soldering permanently attaches connectors to PCB traces. Unlike PC mount connectors, however, SMT connectors do not require drilled holes in the PCB. Using smaller components allows for higher frequencies of operation, smaller board size, etc.  
 
   Wall or Box Mount Receptacle
 
     Typically flanged and threaded for an accessory (backshell) and intended for permanent mounting.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary styles.

   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Integrated Filter / Magnetics
 
     The connector has a filter to protect it against unwanted signals, or magnetics to provide filtering, signal conditioning or isolation.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
Terminations




          Terminals are devices designed to terminate a conductor to be affixed usually to a post, stud, chassis, or other conductor or the like in order to establish electrical connection.
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Cage Clamp
 
     Electrical connections are made using a cage clamp.
 
   Crimp
 
     Crimp is the physical compression (deformation) of a contact wire barrel around a conductor to make an electrical and mechanical connection to the conductor.
 
   IDC
 
     Insulation displacement connectors (IDC) slice through the cable insulation to make a connection. Electrical connection is made when an insulated conductor is forced into a restrictive slot in the connection part of a contact, during which time the insulation is displaced, and the bare wire engages the sides of the slot. IDC are mass termination connectors for flat cables with contacts that displace the conductor insulation to complete termination. They eliminate the need to strip insulation.
 
   PCB Solder / Solder Pin
 
     In PCB solder or solder pin termination, electrical connection is made by soldering wires or pins onto a printed circuit board (PCB).
 
   Screw
 
     Electrical connections are made using screws.
 
   Screw-on or Lugs
 
     Electrical connections are made using screw-ons or lugs.
 
   Solder Cup
 
     A solder cup is the end of a terminal or contact in which the conductor is inserted prior to being soldered. In solder cup terminations, soldering the connector onto the mounting location makes electrical connection.
 
   Tabs
 
     Electrical connections are made through quick connect tabs.
 
   Through Hole / Pin
 
     Through-hole technology (THT) mounts components on printed circuit boards by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering. In pin termination, components are mounted on PCBs without soldering.
 
   Wire Wrap
 
     Electrical connection is made by using a special tool to wrap a solid stripped or unstripped wire around a terminal post containing a series of sharp edges.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted terminal types.
