Housings, BootsConnectors, interconnects, terminals, and housings are all types of electronic components. Connectors are devices that allow two or more electronic circuits to be connected together, while interconnects are the pathways that allow electrical signals to pass between different circuit boards or electronic devices. Terminals are points of connection within a circuit, and housings are protective covers for electronic components. In some cases, these components may be referred to as "boots," which are protective covers that prevent damage to electrical connections.
