Definition:
A pitch connector is a combination of plugs and sockets with specific spacing, used to connect electronic components on a circuit board. They usually have a certain number of contact points and arrangement to adapt to specific circuit design and layout requirements.
Structure:
A pitch connector usually consists of two parts: a header and a socket. A plug is a component fixed to a circuit board with raised metal pins used to connect sockets. A socket is a component that connects a plug, with grooves or holes corresponding to the plug pins, used to insert the plug pins and establish an electrical connection.
Usage:
Pitch connectors are widely used in electronic devices and circuit boards, including computers, communication devices, consumer electronics, and so on. They can connect various signal lines, power lines, and data lines to achieve communication and electrical connections between various parts of the equipment.
Type:
Pitch connectors can be classified into various types based on their structure and purpose, such as:
Straight Pitch Connector: The plug and socket are arranged in the same straight line.
Right Angle Pitch Connector: The plug and socket are arranged at right angles, suitable for situations with limited space.
Surface Mount Pitch Connector: Suitable for surface mount technology (SMT) circuit boards, it can be directly soldered onto the surface of the circuit board.
Through Hole Pitch Connector: Soldered onto the circuit board through holes to provide a more secure connection.
Advantages:
Provide reliable electrical connections to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
Convenient maintenance and replacement of electronic components.
Space saving, suitable for high-density layout circuit board design.
Application field:
Pitch connectors are widely used in various electronic devices and industries, including computers, communication equipment, industrial control, automotive electronics, and other fields.
