A MIL-DTL-38999 circular connector plated with a nickel–teflon composite. Left: plug (male) type connector; Right: receptacle (female) type connector) Electrical or fiber-optic connectors used by U.S. Department of Defense were originally developed in the 1930s for severe aeronautical and tactical service applications, and the Type "AN" series set the standard for modern military circular ...
Ethernet cable with an M12 X-coded connector in one end and a modular connector in the other. IEC metric screw sized connectors is a family of electrical connectors defined by IEC that are named according to their ISO metric screw thread , namely M5 , M8 and M12 . [ 1 ]
Twist-on wire connectors are commonly color-coded to indicate the connector size and, hence, their capacity. They are commonly used as an alternative to terminal blocks or soldering of conductors, since they are quicker to install and, unlike soldered or crimped connections, allow easy subsequent removal for future modifications.
The cable connectors and sockets are keyed and colour-coded, according to the voltage range and frequency used; common colours for 50–60 Hz AC power are yellow for 100–130 volts, blue for 200–250 volts, and red for 380–480 volts. The blue fittings are often used for providing weather-proofed exterior sockets for outdoor apparatus.
This type of cable is the least expensive for a given size and is appropriate for dry indoor applications. The designation NM XX - Y indicates, respectively, the type of sheathing (in this case, non-metallic), the size of the main conductors, and the total number of circuit conductors (exclusive of the grounding conductor).
MC4 connectors are successors of the MC3 Connectors, which were developed by Multi-Contact in 1996. MC3 is the abbreviation of Multi-Contact and its size 3mm PV connector with 3 mm contact pin. MC3 had certification ratings of (1000VIEC/600V UL) and 30A (10AWG PV Cable). The MC3 connectors were discontinued in 2016.
FAKRA connector is a modified SMB connector with a keyed and colour coded plastic housing and latch, used in the automotive industry [5] SMC connector; SSMA connector is a 50 Ohm nominal impedance RF connector which utilizes a 10–36 threaded coupling and is essentially a scaled down version of the SMA. They are characterized by compactness ...
FASTON terminals or faston terminals are connectors that are widely used in electronic and electrical equipment. These terminals are manufactured by many companies, commonly using the terms "quick disconnect", "quick connect", "tab" terminals, "spade" terminals [ 1 ] or blade connectors ; without qualifiers, the first two could be mistaken for ...
