1、 Contact components. It is the core component of the female connector that completes the electrical connection function. Generally, a contact pair is composed of a positive contact piece and a negative contact piece, and electrical connection is completed through the insertion of the negative and positive contact pieces.
2、 Shell. Also known as the shell, it is the outer cover of the female connector that provides mechanical protection for the insulated mounting board and pins inside, and aligns the plug and socket when inserted, thereby securing the female connector to the device.
3、 Insulators. Insulators are also commonly referred to as base or insert for female connectors. Their function is to arrange the contacts in the required position and spacing, and ensure insulation performance between the contacts and between the contacts and the housing. Good insulation resistance, voltage resistance, and ease of processing are the basic requirements for selecting insulation materials to be processed into insulators.
4、 Attachment. Attachments are divided into structural attachments and installation attachments. Structural attachments such as retaining rings, locating keys, locating pins, guide pins, connecting rings, cable clamps, sealing rings, gaskets, etc. Install accessories such as screws, nuts, screws, spring coils, etc. Most attachments have standard and universal parts.
