Types of Wire-to-Board Connectors

Wafer Connectors

Wafer connectors serve as an excellent alternative for connecting wires to PCBs. In contrast to headers, male connectors fasten to the PCB while female connectors are crimped onto the wire, eliminating the need for soldering. The polarized design ensures correct orientation during connections. They are compatible with headers due to similar pitch options.

Understanding Wire-to-Board Connectors

Wire-to-board connectors primarily use crimp technology for connecting wires to printed circuit boards (PCBs). Once crimped, contacts can be inserted into the housing for completion. Available options like IDC and SMT enrich their use cases. Their flexibility and reliability make Greenconn's connectors suitable for low-profile designs in restrictive spaces, ensuring secure terminations.

Advantages of Wire-to-Board Connectors

Providing an economical solution for power routing between PCBs, wire-to-board connectors find applications in various sectors like industrial, automotive, and telecommunications. Although earlier models posed design challenges due to their bulkiness, advancements have led to more compact designs befitting modern applications. Automation-friendly features allow quicker assembly, yielding dependable long-term service. Overall, wire-to-board connectors deliver robust, cost-effective solutions.

Comparative Analysis of Connector Types

It's essential to recognize the distinctions among wire-to-board, wire-to-wire, and board-to-board connectors. Fundamentally, connectors link multiple circuits or devices to allow current or signal transfer. Generally categorized based on connection methods, there are three main types:

Wire-to-board connector

Wire-to-board connections involve a wire at one end and a socket at the other, making them perfect for flexible wiring needs. They facilitate the transmission of power and signals and are the foundational type of connector, commonly utilized across commercial and industrial electronics, including household appliances.

Related products include:

• KR single row double row connector
• Ready-to-use tools offering easy access to crimp fittings using universal terminals.
• Locking protection ensuring secure terminal connections.
• 1.50 mm pitch connectors saving 30% space compared to 2.00mm systems.
• Friction locks providing stronger retention.
• Polarity features preventing assembly mismatches.
• SMT type socket connectors enabling automated assembly.

Wire-to-wire connector:

Wire-to-wire connectors link two wires together, enabling connection by simply plugging and unplugging. This type includes wire-to-cable and cable-to-cable configurations, commonly seen in applications like automobiles and consumer electronics.

Board to Board Connector:

Board-to-board connectors consist of sockets inserted into PCBs at both ends, facilitating connection and disconnection through plugging. They suitable for compact layouts and high-speed signals, boasting the strongest transmission capabilities among connector types.

Each of these methods presents unique advantages and disadvantages. Selection should align with specific needs and conditions.
