Ribbon Cable Connectors
Types of Ribbon Cable Connectors/Ribbon Cable Socket
There are various types of ribbon cables connectors. The following are the most popular ribbon cable connectors:
BT224 Connector
BT224 connectors have their plugs and sockets. Also, they have high-quality gold-plated contacts. In addition, the plugs are equipped long locking levers. This lever serves to lock or unlock the mated connectors.
D-Subminiature Connector
The D subminiature connector is a metal shell interface connector. It has five different pin counts and different terminals, and has a wide range of applications. Common D-SUB ribbon cable: DB9 ribbon cable, DB25 ribbon cable
Micro Ribbon Connector
Also known as miniature ribbon connectors, they have a shielded housing with only two rows of contacts parallel to each other. It is needful to say that these contacts are not pins. But, they are flat metals called ribbon contacts. Like the D-Sub connector, they have sockets with a locking mechanism to hold the connection firmly
DIN 41612 Connector
DIN 41612 connectors make possible the connection from the card to the motherboard in a bus-based systems. Also, their contact points are arranged in one or more rows, labeled a, b, c.
PCB Transition Header
Like BT244 connectors, the PCB transition header has two rows of pins. In addition, PCB transition headers can be attached to a printed circuit board directly by soldering.
DIL Headers
Dual in-line IL header, as regularly called, functions to connect two PCBs. With the right socket, a connection between the boards is possible.Also, welding them directly to the PCB is another way to ensure the connection. DIL applications include computer power supplies.
