What are circular connectors?
A circular connector is a cylindrical, multi-pin electrical connector that contains contacts that power electrical devices, transmit data, or transmit electrical signals. The contacts are usually paired with a cable, making them especially resistant to accidental decoupling or environmental interference.

What is electronic pin?
1) A pin is a pronged contact as part of a signal interface in a computer or other communications device. Pins are part of a male connector and plug into a female connector. The number of pins in a connector is sometimes used in describing the connector (for example, “a 25-way D-type connector”).
How do I choose a circular connector?
When selecting circular connectors, choose a higher voltage and current-rated connector than your application requires, as an overdesigned connector may provide more arc protection or lower impedance.
How do I identify a Molex connector?
The Molex connector is one where the male/female terminology is a bit odd. The female connector is usually found on the end of a cable, and it slips inside of a plastic shell which surrounds the male pins on the male connector.
What is a plug called?
Electrical outlets (also known as outlets, electrical sockets, plugs, and wall plugs) allow electrical equipment to connect to the electrical grid.
What is a custom connector?
