What Is PCB Connector and How Does It Work?
PCB connectors are printed circuit boards and are found in almost every type of technology today. PCB connectors are usually green rectangles with visible connections, grooves, and lines. PCB manufacturers produce equipment in single or double-sided configurations on multiple layers.
PCBs have different lines of different sizes, with thicker lines giving way to higher currents. The trace width calculator can determine the width of PCB conductors. Linewidth is an important measure of how much current can flow through the board.
Types of PCB Connectors
Because there are many types and sizes of electronic products using PCB connectors, there are tons of variations available.
Terminal Blocks Connectors
Terminal block connectors consist of a housing (terminal block) and an easy-to-remove block. A great way to connect temporarily, the link is easily replaceable.
Posts Connectors
The post connector is another rapid connection. These are the materials of the voice and the attempted object. The frame uses clamps and screws for attachment and can be easily removed and reattached.
Plug & Sockets Connectors
Plug & Sockets are the most common types of connectors. According to the title, the traffic jams and) connecting the men and women “part” attached to a direction. Male and female connectors cover a wide range of connections, from electronic devices to data transmission.
RF Connector Conventions
Radio Frequency (RF) connectors operate at radio frequencies up to the megahertz range. Remember to use this connector with a coaxial cable for home TV antennas. These are the types of connections that should make television services during the day and generally exercise their fingers.
JST Connectors
JST connectors are tight-fitting connectors for close-quarters applications. If you need to remove one, you will need some tools and patience. The trade-off, however, is a reliable connection that can be used without moving around.
Pin Header Connectors
Most computers have discontinued pin header connectors, but many desktop computers still use these connections to transmit power, video, and more. The pins are connected individually or separately, but usually a plug with many pins.
Impact of high temperature and humidity on PCB Connector
High temperatures cause deformation due to stress release in PCB Connector and can also cause brittleness in some PCB product materials that cannot withstand high temperatures. Heating and cooling rates also cause different stress attraction effects on products with different coefficients of expansion. Besides the oxidation of metal parts, humidity is also a catalyst for electromigration.
For some thin-pin or high-density BGA components, high temperature, humidity, and flux volatilization will cause a short circuit, drain battery backup power, and prevent some products from working properly.
