1.Establishing a reliable connection between circuit boards and wires
· They create an electrical pathway between the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and wire harnesses (cables).
· Used for transmitting current or signals.
2.Enhancing system modularity and maintainability
· Compared to traditional soldering, which is firm but difficult to maintain, wire-to-board connectors allow for quick plug-in and replacement.
· Facilitates modular assembly and maintenance of equipment, especially in applications where components need frequent replacement.
3.Ensuring connection safety and stability
· Typically designed with features such as foolproof mechanisms (anti-misplug), locking latches, and positioning pegs to prevent incorrect insertion, loose connections, or disconnections.
· Improves overall system reliability, especially in vibrating or mobile environments.
4.Adapting to various installation directions and structural designs
· Available in various pin configurations (through-hole, horizontal, SMT), pin counts, and pitches to meet diverse spatial requirements.
5.Common application fields
· consumer electronics: TVs, computers, home appliances
· Industrial equipment: control systems, instrumentation, PLCs
· Automotive electronics: sensors, power systems, infotainment systems
· Communication devices: routers, switches
· LED lighting: light strips, power modules
