What is a rectangular power connector?
Engineered to optimize signal integrity in applications with limited internal space, rectangular connectors are manufactured in a range of materials. From molded plastic to alloy, they're used for reliable wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connections.
When it comes to any kind of electronics, power is essential. A rectangular power connector acts as the vital link between a device and its source of power. In a range of shapes and sizes to match your application, power connectors can carry either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
What are the different types of rectangular connectors?
While there are only two main categories of rectangular connectors, there are numerous types that fall under each category. They are differentiated in a number of ways, namely by level, function, and termination.
AC connectors
AC connectors are mainly used to connect equipment to a wall outlet to power the device. Power plugs are for standard size devices, while industrial AC power plugs are large electrical connectors for larger industrial applications.
DC connectors
Unlike AC connectors, DC connectors are not standardized, and primarily supply smaller electronic devices with power. Because there are different standards of DC plugs, it's important to use compatible variants.
How does a rectangular power connector work?
A power connector completes a circuit by joining an electrical component to its power source. Where consumer electronics are concerned, the connector is usually the junction where the product plugs in to a battery or power source in the wall.
When speaking about electrical components from a commercial perspective, however, there are generally specific types of rectangular power connectors that are being discussed. These power connectors have properties that make them suitable for specific uses and, very importantly for industrial applications, for usage under very trying conditions.
Some types of rectangular connectors carry both power and data, but power connectors have a more specialized purpose - they allow electronics to operate.
