Types of power and signal connectors

The power and signal connectors are electrical connector. An electrical connector, is an electro-mechanical device used to join electrical terminations and create an electrical circuit. Electrical connectors consist of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-ended). The connection may be temporary, as for portable equipment, require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two wires or devices. An adapter can be used to effectively bring together dissimilar connectors.

Hundreds of types of electrical connectors are manufactured for power, signal and control applications. Connectors may join two lengths of flexible copper wire or cable, or connect a wire or cable to an electrical terminal.

	D-sub connectors are named after their distinctive D-shaped metal shell, and they are used in a variety of applications.
	IP67 connectors prevent the ingress of dust or water, making them perfect for harsh environments and rugged applications.
	A Pogo pin is a device used in electronics to establish a (usually temporary) connection between two printed circuit boards.
	M16 circular connector, Sensor connectors with M16 & 7/8 for commercial electronics, factory automation, process control, industrial instrumentation, and automotive applications.
	Circular connector, this type of connector is designed with a circular interface and housing to quickly and easily connect and disconnect signal, power, and optical circuits

Plug and socket connectors are usually made up of a male plug (typically pin contacts) and a female receptacle (typically socket contacts), although hermaphroditic connectors exist.

Plugs generally have one or more pins or prongs that are inserted into openings in the mating socket. The connection between the mating metal parts must be sufficiently tight to make a good electrical connection and complete the circuit. When working with multi-pin connectors, it is helpful to have a pinout diagram to identify the wire or circuit node connected to each pin.
