[0002] Connectors are also called connectors. In China, they are also called joints and sockets, and generally refer to electrical connectors. That is, a device that connects two active devices to transmit current or signals. The male end and the female end can transmit information or current after contact, which is also called a connector. Among the many types of connectors, there is a connector that is specially designed to build a solid Ethernet connection in harsh environments. It is tougher, stronger, and more resistant than previous connectors. This new interface is generally considered to be an "industrial connector". The application of industrial connectors is not limited to manufacturing. This connector is designed to withstand the test of the harshest industrial environment.
