Schematic symbols for male and female connector pins. In electrical and mechanical trades and manufacturing, each half of a pair of mating connectors or fasteners is conventionally assigned the designation male or female. [1] The female connector is generally a receptacle that receives and holds the male connector.
Most electrical connectors have a gender – i.e. the male component, called a plug, connects to the female component, or socket. Thousands of configurations of connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audiovisual applications. [3] Electrical connectors can be divided into four basic categories, differentiated by their function: [4]
Left: Generic 8P8C (or 8PMJ, 8-position modular jack) male connector. Right: 8P8C male connector with key, which mates with RJ41S, RJ45S, and RJ48S. Although commonly referred to as RJ45 in the context of Ethernet and structured cabling, RJ45 originally referred to a specific wiring configuration of an 8P8C female connector.
1×6 pin header (one row) 1×6 female header (one row) A pin header (or simply, header) is a form of electrical connector. A male pin header consists of one or more rows of metal pins molded into a plastic base, often 2.54 mm (0.1 in) apart, though available in many spacings. [1] Male pin headers are cost-effective due to their simplicity.
The connector is circular, with the male connector having two pins placed symmetrically inside a circular shield, and the female connector having two receptacles surrounded by a circular groove to accept the male shield, in turn surrounded by a second circular shield which projects 6 mm (0.24 in) past the mating surface and encloses the male ...
XLR3 cable connectors female (left) and male. The XLR connector is a type of electrical connector primarily used in professional audio, video, and stage lighting equipment. XLR connectors are cylindrical, with three to seven connector pins, and are often employed for analog balanced audio interconnections, AES3 digital audio, portable intercom, DMX512 lighting control, and for low-voltage ...
