What are crimp connectors?
A crimp connector is a type of solderless electrical connector used for terminating stranded wire. Depending on the type, crimp connectors, sometimes called crimp terminals, can be terminated to different configurations of spade-foot connectors, wire splices and screw terminals. The first step in affixing a crimp connector is to use a wire stripper to remove […]
Backplane connectors: What are they and how are they used?
Often referred to simply as a backplane, this special type of printed circuit board is used as a support structure for connecting other PCBs. The backplane connector adds mechanical strength and stability while also acting as a plane for integrating other system components called daughterboards. Daughterboards are connected to the backplane to perform different functions. […]
