Know the Difference: A Quick Guide to Board-to-Board, Wire-to-Board & Wire-to-Wire Connectors

As fundamental electronic components, electronic connector products can be categorized into three main types based on their connection methods:

Board-to-Board Connectors

These provide the strongest signal transmission capability among all electronic Connector types.Common pitches include 0.4mm Board-to-Board Connectors,0.5mm Board-to-Board Connectors,0.635mm Board-to-Board Connectors,0.8mm Board-to-Board Connectors,and 1.0mm Board-to-board Connectors.They're widely used in power systems,communication networks,industrial automation,and medical equipment.

Wire-to-Board Connectors

As the fundamental electronic connector type,Wire-to-board Connectors link wires to circuit boards for power and signal transmission.They're primarily classified by pin pitch,current,and voltage ratings,commonly found in commercial electronics and household appliances.

Wire-to-Wire Connectors

Wire-to-wire Connectors establish permanent connections between wires or cables,including fixed connections and IDC types.They serve extensively in automotive,communications,consumer electronics,and industrial machinery applications.

Understanding these electronic components helps in selecting the appropriate electronic connector solution for specific application requirements across different industries.
