First, we start with the definition and classification of heavy duty multi pin connectors, and talk to you about the basic rules for naming heavy connector product models.

Any electrical system must use current as a carrier of signal or energy, and transfer current from one conductor to another through contact between conductors. The contact between conductors is called electrical contact, and heavy duty cable connectors is the one that completes the electrical contact task, which covers the three lifelines of power supply, signal, and data.

Figuratively speaking, heavy power connector is the "bridge" that undertakes the role of current or signal connection. Although it is just a component, it plays a vital role.

So far, there is no unified classification standard for heavy duty wire connectors, new application fields are constantly emerging, and the structure is becoming increasingly diversified. It is difficult to classify and name wire connector heavy duty with a fixed pattern. Despite this, some basic classification principles are still valid. Let's first understand the prerequisites for heavy duty electric cable connectors classification.

1. According to the functions of internal and external connections of electronic devices, the interconnection level is divided into 6 layers:

Layer: interconnection from component to package;

Layer 2: interconnection between package and circuit board;

Layer 3: board-to-board interconnection;

Layer 4: interconnection from component to component;

Layer 5: interconnection from component to input and output interface;

Layer 6: interconnection between systems.

2. Classification by structure:

Board-to-board connector;

Board-to-wire connector;

Wire-to-wire connector.

3. Classification by power:
