Board-to-board connectors connect power and signal between PCBs, allowing for smaller PCBs and simplified manufacturing and testing. Through-hole technology and surface mount technology have improved PCB fabrication. Board-to-board connectors are indispensable miniature mating plugs and sockets that directly connect power and signal between printed circuit boards (PCBs). They are usually in-line or straight-line connector pins. […]
FireWire® connectors are identified by pin number and physical shape. FireWire® 400 and 800 have different pin numbers and transfer rates, with FireWire® 800 having a square connector. All versions of FireWire® are compatible with adapters and cables, but different connectors may not be directly compatible. FireWire® 400 uses four or six pin alpha connectors, […]
USB is the most common way to connect peripherals to a computer. USB connectors have two types: Type A for the computer and Type B for the device.
