Definition Of A Connector

A connector, as a type of electromechanical component, is designed to connect two or more circuit devices. It typically works in pairs, consisting of a plug (male) and a socket (female), corresponding to the English terms plucking (or male, header) and receptacle (or socket, jack, female), respectively. Connectors achieve smooth connection and disconnection of electrical components through precise mechanical movements. Their core functions encompass signal transmission, power delivery, and circuit on/off control.
