Connector & Wire Harness
connector is a device used to connect two or more electronic components. They can transmit power or data and are widely used in various electronic devices. Common types of connectors include USB connectors, HDMI connectors, and network connectors. Connectors are typically designed as pairs of male (plug) and female (socket) components to ensure a stable connection. The applications of connectors are extensive, ranging from computers and mobile phones to industrial equipment and automotive electronic systems.Choosing the right connector involves considering several factors, such as the number of contacts, voltage and current carrying capacity, installation method, and environmental resistance. High-quality connectors provide reliable electrical connections and maintain stable performance even in harsh environments like high vibration, high temperature, or humidity.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a standard interface used to connect computers with various external devices. It was developed in 1994 by companies like Intel, Microsoft, and Compaq, aiming to replace multiple interface standards such as serial and parallel ports. The design goals of USB were to provide a simple, fast, and easy-to-use connection method, supporting hot-swapping and plug-and-play.
USB versions have evolved from the initial USB 1.0 (with a transfer rate of 1.5 Mbps) to the latest USB4 (with a transfer rate of up to 40 Gbps). Common USB connectors include Type-A, Type-B, and Type-C, with Type-C becoming increasingly popular due to its reversible design23. USB is widely used in devices such as keyboards, mice, printers, external hard drives, and for charging mobile phones, greatly simplifying the connection and data transfer between devices
PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed serial computer bus standard used to connect the motherboard with various internal hardware devices. It is developed and maintained by the PCI-SIG organization, aiming to replace traditional PCI, PCI-X, and AGP standards. PCI-E is designed to allow point-to-point connections, providing higher data transfer rates and greater bandwidth.
The versions of PCI-E have evolved from the initial PCI-E 1.0 (with a transfer rate of 2.5 GT/s per lane) to the latest PCI-E 6.0 (with a transfer rate of 64 GT/s per lane). Each PCI-E slot can have different numbers of lanes (such as x1, x4, x8, x16), with more lanes offering higher transfer rates and bandwidth. PCI-E is widely used in devices like graphics cards, solid-state drives, and network cards, and it supports hot-swapping and plug-and-play features.
SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) is a computer bus standard used to connect the motherboard with large storage devices such as hard drives and optical drives. Introduced in 2003 by the International Serial ATA Organization, SATA was designed to replace the older PATA (Parallel ATA) interface. SATA uses serial transmission, offering higher data transfer rates and better error correction capabilities.
The versions of SATA have evolved from the initial SATA 1.0 (with a transfer rate of 1.5 Gbps) to the latest SATA 3.5 (with a transfer rate of 16 Gbps). SATA supports hot-swapping, allowing hardware devices to be connected or disconnected while the computer is running, and uses thinner cables, which help improve airflow inside the computer case. Additionally, SATA supports the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), providing more efficient data transfer and management features.
