• Connectors are basically electro-mechanical
  devices which are used to easily connect or
  disconnect electrical circuits paths. Depending
  on your needs you can choose from their various
  shapes, sizes, complexities and quality levels.
  To provide resistance against various outside
  factors like friction, water, varying
  temperature, dirt and other contaminants there is
  a wide variety of connectors that you can choose
  from! Some of the connectors are Pogo pin,
  waterproof connectors, pcb connectors, power
  connectors, space connectors, etc.

• Some of the factors to consider for a good
  connector are
• Ease of connection
• Mating type(male and female plugs)
• Durability- How long the connector will last and
  the overall robustness of the connector.

4

• Proper insulation- In order to avoid the release
  of any electrical noise in the environment the
  connectors are shielded.
• Polarity- Most of the connectors can only be
  connected in one orientation. So to prevent their
  wrong connections in another direction,
  polarization is performed.
• While looking for a company that provides good
  quality connectors and ease of custom cable
  assemblies you can consider Adam Tech company
  which boasts of having distributors in North
  America, South America, Europe, Middle east. The
  services that it provides are of high quality
  material and at a very reasonable price.
• They also believe in saving the environment by
  manufacturing such materials which are lead free
  and free of any hazardous materials.

• Types of connectors and their uses
• Pogo pin connector This device is used in
  electronic devices like mobile phones,
  communication devices, smart watches, DSLR
  cameras, medical devices, automotive and
  aerospace devices. It is mainly used as a
  connection provider between electrical circuit
  boards. It contains spring loaded pins and is
  cylindrical in shape.
• Some types of pogo pins are 
• SMT/SMD type
• Though Hole type
• Right angle
• Double head type

6

• Pcb connector A PCB connector(Printed circuit
  connector) will utilize multiple pins to carry
  electrical signals. PCB connectors are mounted on
  PCB and use a PCBs power to carry signals from
  one PCB to another or another device connected to
  the unit. They are used in various applications
  ranging from mobile phones internal circuit to
  the cars electrical signal flow.
• In pcb mostly board-to-board connection is used
  and is oriented in the following ways
• Parralel- where both the connectors are kept
  vertically
• 90 degree- Here one connector is kept vertical
  and another is kept vertical
• 180 degree or coplanar- Here both connectors are
  kept in horizontal position

7

• Waterproof Connector They are IP67 rated
  waterproof connectors. They contain a seal ring
  which protects them from moisture, dirt,
  scratches and cracks! They are applicable for
  supreme moisture conditions and
  underwater/submersive conditions like waterproof
  camera, automotive and other moisture prone
  devices! 
• Waterproof connectors are also used to minimize
  installation costs and thus economical.
• All these connectors and many more types are
  provided by Adam Tech company.
• They provide industry solutions for vast network
  area like medical, lighting, wireless services,
  telecom, testing and measurement, climate
  control, home automation and much more!
