691F Series, USB, DVI, HDMI Connector Assemblies

USB, DVI, and HDMI connectors are widely used to establish audio and video interfaces between computers and various devices. These connectors possess specific characteristics that determine their compatibility and functionality. Some key characteristics include the connector type, number of contacts, gender, mounting type, current rating, and voltage rating. Connector Types: DisplayPort: This connector type is commonly used for high-definition displays and supports both audio and video signals. DMS-59: This connector is primarily found on graphics cards and provides dual video outputs. DVI (A, D, or I): DVI connectors come in three variations: DVI-A (analog), DVI-D (digital), and DVI-I (integrated analog and digital). They are widely used for video connections and can transmit both digital and analog signals. Firewire: Firewire connectors, also known as IEEE 1394 connectors, are used for high-speed data transfer between devices such as cameras and external hard drives. HDMI (micro, mini): HDMI connectors are widely used for audio and video transmission. The micro and mini versions are smaller in size and commonly found on portable devices like smartphones and tablets. USB (A, B, C, micro, mini): USB connectors come in various forms, including USB-A, USB-B, USB-C, USB micro, and USB mini. They provide versatile connections for data transfer, charging, and peripheral connectivity. Number of Contacts: The number of contacts refers to the total pins or terminals within the connector that facilitate the transmission of electrical signals. The specific number varies depending on the connector type and its intended purpose. Gender: Connectors can be either male or female. Male connectors have pins or plugs, while female connectors have sockets or receptacles. The gender determines how connectors physically interconnect with each other. Mounting Type: The mounting type refers to how the connector is attached or mounted onto a device or panel. It can be through soldering, PCB mounting, panel mounting, or cable mounting, among others. Current Rating: The current rating specifies the maximum amount of electrical current that the connector can safely handle. It is an important consideration for ensuring proper power transmission and avoiding overheating or damage. Voltage Rating: The voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage level that the connector can safely support without the risk of electrical breakdown or insulation failure. It is crucial to choose connectors with appropriate voltage ratings to maintain electrical safety. By considering these characteristics, users can select the appropriate USB, DVI, or HDMI connector based on their specific application requirements, ensuring compatibility, reliable signal transmission, and proper power supply.
