1. What is a power input connector?
The power input connector is a key electronic component used to connect power supplies and power-consuming devices. Its main function is to ensure safe and reliable transmission of power from the power supply to the device, and to provide a detachable interface to facilitate the installation, maintenance and replacement of the device. The power input connector usually consists of two parts: a plug and a socket, which transmit power through physical contact and electrical connection.

2. How do power connectors work?
The working principle of power connectors mainly involves two aspects: power transmission and signal transmission.
Power transmission:
The power connector is mainly used to connect the power supply line to the power interface inside the device to achieve power transmission. Usually, the power connector consists of a plug and a socket. The plug is connected to the power line, and the socket is connected to the power interface inside the device. When the plug is inserted into the socket, the metal contacts between the two establish an electrical connection, allowing the current to flow from the plug through the contacts into the device, providing the required power.
Signal transmission:
In addition to power transmission, some power connectors also have signal transmission functions. For example, the USB interface is a common power connector that can transmit power and data signals. In this case, the working principle of the power connector includes two aspects: the power conductor is used to transmit current, and the data line is used to transmit digital signals. The metal contacts between the plug and the socket are designed to connect the power conductor and the data line respectively to achieve power and signal transmission. -
3. What are the 3 types of connectors?
Board-to-board connector: This connector is used to connect two circuit boards together, and is usually used for high-density data transmission and signal transmission. Common board-to-board connectors include DDR memory sticks, PCBs, and PCI-E slots. They are widely used in computers, servers, and other devices that require high-speed data transmission.
Wire-to-wire connector: This connector is used to connect two cables, and is common in data cables and power cables. For example, S-ATA data cables, flat cables, USB cables, etc. These connectors are usually used to transmit data and power, and are widely used in computers, external devices, and other occasions that require wire-to-wire connections.
Wire-to-board connector: This connector is used to connect a cable to a circuit board. Common wire-to-board connectors include MiniDin, Audiojack, etc. They are mainly used for data and power transmission and are widely used in various electronic devices. -
4. What is a power connector port?
The power connector port refers to the interface part on the power connector, which is used to connect the power supply and electronic equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The power connector is an electronic component, usually composed of a plug and a socket, which facilitates the connection and disconnection of the power supply. They are widely used in various electronic devices, such as computers, household appliances, communication equipment, and industrial equipment.
Types and functions of power connector ports
Power connector ports can be classified according to a variety of characteristics:
According to the type of electrical energy: divided into AC (AC) and DC (DC) power connectors. AC power connectors include IEC320, three-pole (C14), American standard plugs, and European standard plugs; DC power connectors include USB, DC sockets, box heads, and AV audio heads.
According to the interface type: including plug type, socket type, USB type, etc. Plug-type power connectors usually have two parts, a pin and a socket. USB-type power connectors are widely used in various electronic devices, with the advantages of small size, fast transmission speed, and easy use.
According to the shape: divided into straight, curved, male and female heads, etc. Straight power connectors are suitable for straight current transmission, curved types are suitable for curved current transmission, and male and female heads are used for matching connections between devices.
According to the material: divided into metal, plastic, ceramic, etc. Metal power connectors have good conductivity but are prone to rust, plastic power connectors are light but have poor high temperature resistance, and ceramic power connectors are high temperature resistant but have high costs.
