wire to board

Wire to Board Connectors

Wire-to-board connectors are electronic components that link wires to a printed circuit board (PCB), ensuring reliable power and signal transfer. They feature a plug-and-socket design, often with locking mechanisms for stability. Widely used in automotive systems, appliances, and industrial controls, these connectors support compact, efficient setups, making them essential for applications where wires need a secure, organized connection to a PCB.

Wire to Wire Connectors

Wire-to-wire connectors are electronic devices that join two or more wires, enabling power or signal transmission without a PCB. Typically consisting of male and female housings with crimp terminals, they’re built for durability and easy disconnection. Common in telecommunications, automotive wiring, and portable electronics, these connectors excel in applications requiring flexible, robust connections, such as harnesses or modular power systems.

molex alternative

Molex Alternatives

Molex alternatives are electronic connectors replacing Molex-brand products, supporting wire-to-wire or wire-to-board use. They feature crimp terminals, housings, and PCB headers for reliable integration. Used in automotive, industrial, and appliance applications, they ensure high-performance power and signal links. Available in multiple setups, they provide cost-effective, durable solutions for engineers needing custom or standard PCB connectors.

jst alternative

JST Alternatives

JST alternatives are electronic connectors substituting JST-brand products, offering small-pitch, crimp-style wire-to-board or wire-to-wire connections. They ensure compact, reliable terminations for consumer electronics, drones, and LED lighting. Ideal for space-constrained designs, these cost-effective, interchangeable options suit hobbyists and manufacturers needing lightweight, high-density connectivity with consistent performance in diverse applications.

Pin Headers

A pin header is a type of electronic connector consisting of one or more rows of metal pins mounted on a plastic base. It’s designed to connect printed circuit boards (PCBs) to other boards, wires, or devices, providing a reliable interface for signal and power transmission. Commonly used in computers, consumer electronics, and industrial equipment, pin headers are essential for applications like motherboards, sensors, and prototyping, offering versatility and ease of connection in compact designs.

female header

Female Headers

A female header is an electronic connector with rows of socket-like receptacles mounted on a plastic base, designed to mate with pin headers. It facilitates connections between PCBs or wires in electronic assemblies. Commonly used in computers, Arduino prototyping, and consumer electronics, female headers provide a secure, removable interface for signal and power transmission, making them ideal for modular designs and development projects requiring frequent reconfiguration.

box header connector

Box Header

A box header connector, also known as a shrouded header, is a male pin connector with a plastic shroud surrounding the pins. This shroud guides mating connectors (like IDC sockets) to ensure accurate alignment, prevents pin damage, and often includes keying or polarization features to avoid mis-mating. Typically used in board-to-board or wire-to-board applications, box headers are available in various pitches (e.g., 2.54mm, 2.0mm) and pin counts, making them ideal for electronics, automotive, and industrial systems.

idc socket connector 2

IDC Socket Connector

An IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) socket connector is a compact, reliable component used to terminate flat ribbon cables for wire-to-board connections. It features sharp contacts that pierce the wire insulation, creating a secure, solderless connection that mates with a board-mounted header, such as a pin or box header. Ideal for electronics, automotive, and industrial applications, IDC socket connectors ensure quick assembly and consistent performance.

_IDC Plug Connector (1)

IDC Plug Connector

An IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) Plug Connector terminates flat ribbon cables by piercing the insulation to form a secure, solderless connection. It directly inserts into a PCB, creating a wire-on-board connection without mating to a separate pin header or socket.
