Circular and Rectangular Connector types, use, series,price

Circular and Rectangular Connector types, use, series,price   What are the different shapes of connectors ?   Circular connectors Circular connectors are mostly used for power transmission, but they are also used for signal transmission. Typical circular connectors are M5 M8 M12 M16, M23, D38999 MS5015, etc. This is a circular connector, also known as a circular M12 connector. The specific model is an M12 4-pin (TE T4171010004-001). Constructed with a metal shell and pins, and featuring a rubber seal, it utilizes an M12 thread. This connector is designed for waterproof and shockproof applications. The threaded connection ensures robustness and reliability. Suitable for 22AWG, 4-core wire, it's frequently used in industrial machinery and equipment.   Recotangle Connectors   Figure 2 depicts a pin header connector, also known as a male header or simply a header. Made of metal or plastic, it consists of two parts: the socket and the pins. These connectors, with their array of metal pins, are commonly found on PCBs or electronic components. Used for power supply, connection, and information transmission in electronic devices, they are typically operated via insertion and removal, primarily in computers, mobile phones, and other electronic devices. Here displays a D-sub connector, recognized by its characteristic D-shaped metal shell, which houses pins and provides the interface for mating plugs and sockets. D-sub connectors come in various sizes, commonly including 9P, 15P, 35P, and 37P. The appropriate size is chosen based on the product's specific needs. They are easy to install, usually by plugging or screwing them in, and are commonly used in computers, printers, and Ethernet applications.
