Connectors come in many types, including circular connectors, rectangular connectors, RF connectors, fiber optic connectors, and more. Below is an introduction to the applicable scenarios for different types of connectors:

1) Circular Connectors

Aerospace: Designed for high reliability and strong environmental resistance, these connectors maintain stable electrical connections under extreme conditions such as vibration, shock, high temperatures, and low temperatures. They are widely used in applications like aircraft engine control systems and missile guidance systems.

Industrial Automation: Used in robotic joints, sensors, controllers, and various devices in automated production lines, circular connectors can withstand industrial environments involving oil, dust, and electromagnetic interference.

Transportation: Found in automobiles, trains, ships, and other vehicles, circular connectors facilitate connections in engine control systems, onboard electronics, and lighting systems, ensuring reliable connections during vehicle operation.

2) Rectangular Connectors

Computers and Peripherals: Widely used in motherboard-to-component connections, such as hard drives, graphics cards, and monitors. These connectors support high-speed data transfer and high-density pin configurations for multi-signal transmission.

Communication Equipment: Used in networking devices like switches, routers, and base stations, providing high-speed data communication and power distribution.

Power Electronics: Found in distribution cabinets, inverters, and power modules, rectangular connectors handle power lines, control lines, and signal transmission lines, ensuring high current and voltage tolerance.

3) RF Connectors

Wireless Communication: Essential for connecting antennas, RF amplifiers, filters, and transceivers in wireless communication devices. They ensure efficient RF signal transmission with minimal loss in applications such as 5G base stations, mobile phones, and walkie-talkies.

Radar and Satellite Communication: Used in radar systems to connect transmitters, receivers, and antennas, as well as in satellite communication ground stations. These connectors require high precision, low VSWR, and high power handling capacity.

Test and Measurement Equipment: Found in RF testing instruments such as network analyzers and spectrum analyzers, RF connectors ensure accurate and stable test signal transmission between the device under test and measurement equipment.

4) Fiber Optic Connectors

Telecommunication Networks: Essential components in fiber optic communication networks, used for connecting fiber optic patch cords, transceivers, and optical modules to ensure efficient optical signal transmission. These connectors are widely applied in long-haul communication, metropolitan area networks, and access networks.

Data Centers: Used to establish high-speed fiber optic links between servers, storage devices, and switches in data centers, meeting the demands for high-speed, high-capacity data transmission.

Industrial Monitoring and Automation: Applied in industrial monitoring systems and automation environments that are sensitive to electromagnetic interference, such as petrochemical plants and power monitoring stations. Fiber optic connectors enable the transmission of signals for fiber optic sensors and fiber Bragg gratings.

5) Audio and Video Connectors

Home Entertainment Systems: Used to connect TVs, speakers, DVD players, gaming consoles, and other devices. HDMI connectors, for example, can simultaneously transmit high-definition video and multi-channel audio, while RCA connectors are commonly used for audio and video input/output interfaces.

Professional Broadcasting and Film Production: Utilized in television stations and film production studios to connect cameras, recorders, switchers, and audio mixers, ensuring high-quality audio and video signal transmission and production.

Conference Systems and Stage Lighting & Audio: Found in conference rooms, performance stages, and similar venues, audio and video connectors enable connections between projectors, microphones, speakers, and lighting controllers for media playback and lighting control.
