❖ Connector :

Connectors are parts or devices used for electrically connecting or


disconnecting circuits etc. They can connect and disconnect by hands or with
simple tools without requiring special tools or processes such as soldering.
Although there are various types of connectors, the large majority are one-
piece types that are used alone or two-piece types consisting of a plug and socket.
One-piece types directly connect printed circuit boards and wires to connectors.
Two-piece types are divided into plug and socket, the part where the plug and the
socket are fitted is called the contact part, and the part where the printed circuit
board or the electric wire is attached is called the connection part.

❖ Types of Connector :

1. Board-to-Board Connector
2. Automotive Connector
3. Coaxial Connector
4. Audio Connector
5. Board Mount Connector
6. Back Plane Connector
7. DBG Connector
8. PCB Connector
9. Edge Connector
10.Fiber Optic Connector
11.USB Connector
12.Barrel Connector
1) Board-to-Board Connector :
Board-to-board (BTB) connectors are used to connect printed circuit
boards (PCB), electronic components that contain a conductive pattern printed on
the surface of the insulating base in an accurate and repeatable manner. Each
terminal on a BTB connector is connected to a PCB. A BTB connector includes
housing and a specific number of terminals. The terminal is made from a
conductive material (mostly copper alloy), and plated to improve conductivity
and antirust. Terminals transmit the current/signal between PCBs connected by
BTB the housing is made of insulating material (mostly plastic).
Board-to-board (BTB) connectors are used to accurately interconnect
printed circuit boards (PCBs) in a stackable manner. They can accommodate
various types of PCB orientations, relative distances, and space constraints to
allow for design flexibility.
