An electronic connector is a component used to transmit electrical signals between electronic devices.
It enables the flow of data and power between different electronic devices. Essentially, connectors consist of two parts: a plug (male) and a socket (female). When physically connected, they complete the electronic circuit. Selection is necessary based on the environment of use (indoor, outdoor, extreme temperatures, humidity, etc.) and the required performance (signal transmission speed, power capacity, etc.).
Electronic connectors are used in industrial equipment, computers, communication devices, automobiles, medical devices, and more. Common examples include USB connectors, HDMI connectors, and others found in everyday devices.
