Welcome to another post in the series by Nick Locke, of Nicab Ltd, who has over 15 years experience in the electronics manufacturing industry specialising in interconnection cable assembly.
The following list is my personal Top Ten of connectors. The connectors I have chosen are based on my experience and personal preference and no other criteria. I just like them!
1 - The D-Type Connector
2 - RJ45 Ethernet Connector
3 - IDC Connectors
The following list is my personal Top Ten of connectors. The connectors I have chosen are based on my experience and personal preference and no other criteria. I just like them!
1 - The D-Type Connector
2 - RJ45 Ethernet Connector
3 - IDC Connectors
4 - Molex KK Series
5 - SMA Connector
6 - Tyco Mate-N-Lok
7 - Harting Han Series -
8 - JST PHR Series
9 - The Mill Spec Mill-C 26482
10 - IEC C Series
I think you can make just about anything work using the above connecters, mostly they have been around for ages, that's not a bad thing because anything that lasts in this industry is because it works and works well.
