The primary use of a cable wire connector is as a component used to couple circuits electrically on two printed circuit boards, in this case, also called a board-to-board connector.
A cable wire connector is also used to connect one or more wires together.
A cable wire connector is mounted directly on the printed circuit boards of both parties to be connected and is bridged by cables with connectors attached to both ends.
For example, a male connector on the printed circuit board and a female connector on both ends of the cable are used to connect the two boards together, thereby directly connecting them electrically.
Cable wire connectors are available in a variety of sizes for signal cables and connector pins, depending on the location of use and the required current capacity.
The requirements for nylon cable wire connectors are how many signal wires can be accommodated in the connector, and how well the connector can maintain a stable electrical and physical connection.
Cable wire connectors are almost certainly used in a variety of devices that use printed circuit boards, including most consumer and commercial equipment.
Without exception, these devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and high-performance, and with this trend comes the need to reduce board space, resulting in the need for all electrical components, including cable wire connectors, to be smaller, thinner, and lighter.
As mentioned above, the purpose of cable wire connectors is to electrically and directly connect two printed circuit boards.
Originally, this method was thought to be the most cost-effective and inexpensive, since cable wire connectors would not be necessary if all functions could be achieved on a single board.
However, in order to implement all the required functions within the limited physical space of a device, it is practical to divide the board into multiple boards of appropriate sizes and insert them into the device after securing the space inside.
In addition, there are significant advantages to be gained by dividing PCBs by function, which ultimately leads to cost reductions in the equipment.
By dividing a printed circuit board into multiple boards for each functional unit and combining these multiple boards, it is possible to realize a wide variety of products simultaneously with various functions. In this case, cable wire connectors are effective in joining multiple boards together.
For example, let us assume that there are boards A for basic functions, B for additional functions, and C for additional functions as boards to realize the necessary functions in designing a certain product.
By using only board A, a product with the most basic functions can be realized, and by using boards A+B, a product with added function B, A+C, and A+B+C, a product with added function B, and a product with added function B+C, respectively, can be realized.
In other words, four types of products can be realized by preparing boards with three functional units and combining them.
