Connectors: the interface between circuits

Connectors are devices that allow two or more electrical or electronic circuits to be connected, facilitating the passage of current or signals. There are different types of connectors, each designed for specific applications: PCB (Printed Circuit Board) connectors: Used to connect electronic components to printed circuit boards. Available in various shapes and sizes, such as Insulation Displacement Connectors (IDC) and Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) connectors.

• Industrial Connectors:
•  Designed for harsh industrial environments, they offer ruggedness and resistance to vibration, humidity and extreme temperatures. Often equipped with high IP (Ingress Protection) ratings.
• Cable connectors:
•  They allow you to connect electrical or signal cables. They include connectors for coaxial cables, Ethernet cables, and power cables.
