Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Connectors

Printed circuit boards, also known as PCB’s, give the support to the electronic components in the circuit and make it possible to put together circuits in stable, modular designs. The PCB’s provide the means of connecting all of those circuits. A printed circuit board comes in a single and double sided design and may consist of several different layers of material.

There is a locking mechanism that many PCB connectors have that which prevents the connection from being broken into accidentally.

There is a large range of PCB connectors as there are many different types of components and devices that are attached with the connectors. There are different types of these connectors to handle different conditions. Some printed circuit board connectors are designed to work under stressful conditions, to support relatively heavy loads and to give stability and safety. There are other printed circuit board connectors are much more delicate. Connectors are characterised by their pinout and physical construction, size, contact resistance, insulation between pins, ruggedness and resistance to vibration

PCB Ribbon Cable and connector systems are used in a wide range of circuit board applications whether they are cable to board or board to board. Insulation displacement and crimp technology allow a cost effective harnessing whether production numbers are low or high.
