Wire-To-Board Connector Solutions in Your Cable Assembly
Cable assemblies comprise of two primary elements - conductor and connector. The sole purpose of a conductor is to pass current at a given voltage, whereas, connectors affix the cable assembly securely to a mating interconnect. The conductor and connector garner most of the designer’s focus while designing cable assemblies . However, at times the specific details of how to attach the connector to the wire are overlooked. For instance, forgetting to purchase the appropriate crimp and extraction tooling for your custom cable build will delay your build, especially if these are long lead time or expensive tools. But what happens if three months into your program it’s determined that your specified connector was never meant to attach directly to a cable? What if the wire-to-board connector requires to use as a wire-to-wire connector? Wire-To-Wire Connector Systems Connectors are designed in wire-to-wire or wire-to-board systems to differentiate the application and install
