Wire to BoardWire to board connectors are electrical connectors that are used to connect wires to a printed circuit board (PCB) or other electronic device. These connectors are typically used in applications where the PCB is mounted inside an enclosure or other housing, and the wires need to be connected to the PCB from the outside. Wire to board connectors are available in a variety of styles, including screw-type, crimp-type, and push-in type, and they can be used with various types of wires and cables.
Wire to board connectors typically consist of two main parts: the housing, which is mounted on the PCB, and the terminal, which is attached to the wire. The housing typically has holes or slots for the terminals, and it also provides the mechanical support and EMI/RFI shielding for the connector. The terminal is inserted into the housing and is typically secured using screws, crimping, or other fastening methods, depending on the type of connector. Some wire to board connectors also have locking mechanisms or other features to prevent the terminal from becoming disconnected from the housing.
