2. Gender of connectors and fasteners - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and...

   Schematic symbols for male and female connector pins. In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female, [1] a distinction referred to as its gender. [2] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the ...

3. IDC (electrical connector) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDC_(electrical_connector)

   Pin 1 is typically indicated on the body of the connector by a red or raised "V" mark. The corresponding wire in a ribbon cable is usually indicated by red coloration, a raised molded ridge, or markings printed onto the cable insulation. On the connector pin 2 is opposite pin 1, pin 3 is next to pin 1 along the length of the connector, and so on.

4. D-subminiature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature

   IDC D-Sub connectors DE-9 (male) and DA-15 (female) A male PCB-mounting DD-50 connector (plug) There are many different methods used to attach wires to the contacts in D-sub connectors. Solder-bucket (or solder-cup ) contacts have a cavity into which the stripped wire is inserted and hand-soldered.

5. AC power plugs and sockets: British and related types

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_power_plugs_and_sockets:...

   Generally the plug is the movable connector attached to an electrically operated device's mains cable, and the socket is fixed on equipment or a building structure and connected to an energised electrical circuit. The plug has protruding pins (referred to as male) that fit into matching apertures (called female) in the sockets. A plug is ...

6. Polarity symbols - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_symbols

   The adapter typically supplies power to the device through a thin electrical cord which terminates in a coaxial power connector often referred to as a "barrel plug" (so-named because of its cylindrical shape). The polarity of the adapter cord and plug must match the polarity of the device, meaning that the positive contact of the plug must mate ...

7. VGA connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector

   In the male connector, this pin numbering corresponds with the cable's wire-and-solder side. The Video Graphics Array ( VGA ) connector is a standard connector used for computer video output. Originating with the 1987 IBM PS/2 and its VGA graphics system, the 15-pin connector went on to become ubiquitous on PCs, [ 1 ] as well as many monitors ...

8. Molex connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molex_connector

   There is also a tendency for the loosely inserted pins on the male connector to skew out of alignment. The female sockets can spread, making the connection imperfect and subject to arcing. Standard practice is to check for any sign of blackening or browning on the white plastic shell, which would indicate the need to replace the arcing connector.

9. Modular connector - Wikipedia

   An 8P8C modular plug. This is the common crimp-type plug, of the same kind pictured above crimped onto a cable (with molded sleeve). A modular connector is a type of electrical connector for cords and cables of electronic devices and appliances, such as in computer networking, telecommunication equipment, and audio headsets.
