The appearance of an electrical connector is very small and the structure looks very simple. Although it only consists of a plug and a socket, its connection method is indeed different. So, how should we connect it? The following is the answer.
Connection method
Electrical connectors are generally composed of a plug and a socket, where the plug is also known as a free end connector and the socket is also known as a fixed connector. The connection and disconnection of circuits are achieved through plugs, sockets, and insertion and disconnection, thus giving rise to various connection methods for plugs and sockets. For circular connectors, there are mainly three methods: threaded connection, bayonet connection, and pin connection. Among them, threaded connections are the most common, which have the advantages of simple processing technology, low manufacturing cost, and wide applicability. However, the slow connection speed is not suitable for situations that require frequent insertion and rapid connection. Due to the longer lead of its three bayonet slots, the bayonet connection has a faster connection speed, but its manufacturing is more complex and the cost is also higher. The pin type connection is the fastest among the three connection methods, and it does not require rotational motion. It only needs linear motion to achieve the functions of connection, separation, and locking. Due to its direct push pull connection method, it is only suitable for connectors with low total separation force. It is generally more common in small connectors.
The above introduces several methods, but we can choose according to your preferences. However, the most commonly used method is the threaded connection, which is more practical and simple.
