RJ45 connector and terminal difference!

   Connectors and terminals are common electronic components. They have many similarities and many differences. Here will introduce the differences between them, to help you better understand the two components.

The difference between RJ45 connector and terminal

In the electrical or electrical field: RJ45 connectors and connectors are the same type of product. A electronic component that can be connected quickly by inserting or twisting one end of a public connector into one end of a female connector without the use of a tool. Terminals are generally understood as electronic devices that require the use of certain tools (such as screwdrivers and cold press pliers) to connect the two connection points together. They are commonly used for current inputs and outputs. The terminal is part of the connector, which is a generic term. In fact, common connectors usually consist of two parts: Housing and terminal. The plastic shell is made of plastic to protect the product, and the terminals are metal to conduct electricity at both ends. Electrical connectors, also known as connectors, plug-in, is the subdivision of electronic components, mainly for the connection between circuits. In the current production of electronic industry, the connector line connection can be said to be everywhere, so the connector is widely used, can be indirectly applied to various industries.

There are many specific types of connectors, such as rectangular connectors, circular connectors, step connectors, and so on. Terminal is a kind of connector, usually rectangular connector, terminal row of the use of a relatively single, generally used in the field of electronic and electrical, the same as the PCB, PCB and distribution cabinet of the internal and external wiring. The use of terminal more and more, more and more types. At present, in addition to PCB board terminals, there are hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals are widely used. In the power industry, there are special terminal and terminal box, are terminal, single layer, double layer, current, voltage and so on. In general, “Connector”, “Plug-in”, “Terminal” and other electronic components belong to the same concept of different applications. They are based on different application industries, application products, and application locations. Commonly known as a variety of different names. In the current connector market, the survival of the fittest and the pursuit of cost-performance, making high-quality connector technology continues to improve, some of the connectors have been eliminated.

Connector connectors are a large category, called connectors, plugs and sockets, is the electronic engineering and technical personnel often contact. Most of these refer to electrical connectors that connect two electronic devices to a component for transmitting current or signals. The RJ45 connector is a locating connector for connecting electronic circuits. It consists of a plug-in and a connector, which can be separated under normal circumstances, so a plug-in can also be called a connector.

Terminal

Terminal is used to achieve electrical connection of ancillary products. It is used to facilitate the connection of electric wires. It is actually a piece of metal sealed in insulating plastic with holes at both ends that can be inserted into a wire. The terminal can be divided into plug-in terminal and European terminal. "Connector = plug-in" is a class D, terminal is only a"Connector" in this class of products. A connector is a connection between wires; a connector is a connection between wires and boards. In our real life, people often vaguely mention the same type of products.
