FASTON terminals or faston terminals are connectors that are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment. These terminals are manufactured by many companies, commonly using the terms "quick disconnect", "quick connect", "tab" terminals, "spade" terminals [1] or blade connectors; without qualifiers, the first two could be mistaken for ...
SMA connectors must not be confused with the standard household 75-ohm type F coax connector (diameters: male 7 ⁄ 16 inch (11 mm) circular or hex; female 3 ⁄ 8 inch (9.5 mm) external threads), as there is only about a 2 mm difference overall in the specifications. Type F cannot be mated with SMA connectors without the use of an adapter.
The UHF connector [4] is a name for a threaded RF connector. [5] [6] The connector design was invented in the 1930s for use in the radio industry, and is a shielded form of the "banana plug". [7] [8] [4] It is a widely used standard connector for HF transmission lines on full-sized radio equipment, with BNC connectors predominating for smaller ...
IDC (electrical connector) An insulation-displacement contact ( IDC ), also known as insulation-piercing contact ( IPC ), is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor (s) of an insulated cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blade or blades through the insulation, bypassing the need to strip ...
A banana connector (commonly banana plug for the male, banana jack (or socket) for the female) is a single- wire (one conductor) electrical connector used for joining wires to equipment. The term 4 mm connector is also used, especially in Europe, although not all banana connectors will mate with 4 mm parts, and 2 mm banana connectors exist.
A pin header (or simply header) is a form of electrical connector. A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. [1] Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity. The female counterparts are sometimes known as female ...
Gender of connectors and fasteners. Schematic symbols for male and female connector pins. In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. [1] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male ...
A Speakon connector is designed with a locking system that may be designed for soldered or screw-type connections. Line connectors (male) mate with (female) panel connectors and typically a cable will have identical connectors at both ends. If it is needed to join cables, a coupler can be used (which essentially consists of two panel connectors ...
