Main Classification of Electronic Connectors by Application Scenarios

Common connector types and applicable electronic connection scenarios

Electronic connection devices have diverse classifications according to application methods and structural types, covering all mainstream circuit connection scenarios in the electronics industry. Reasonable selection of connection types can improve connection stability and equipment durability.

The most common types include wire-to-board, wire-to-wire and board-to-board connection structures. Wire-to-board types such as SH and WAFER series are used for wire and PCB docking. Wire-to-wire types realize free wiring connection between harnesses, widely used in household appliances and automotive wiring.

Board-to-board types like FPC and pin headers are dedicated for internal connection of circuit boards, featuring small size and high precision. In addition, special connection parts such as Type-C and terminal blocks are applied in charging, signal transmission and power supply connection fields respectively.

Different connection parts have unique pitch, pin count and temperature resistance parameters. Classified application according to scenarios can effectively avoid poor contact, signal loss and equipment aging, meeting the connection needs of consumer electronics, industrial control and automotive electronics.
