Konnektoreid

Konnektoreid are devices that enable linking two systems or components to carry electrical, optical, fluid, or mechanical signals or power. They provide a removable or semi-permanent connection and often protect the interface from environmental exposure. They are used across industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and industrial automation.

Konnektoreid can be grouped by function and medium: electrical or electronic connectors (for power and data; including rectangular and circular families, USB, HDMI, RJ45), optical connectors (fiber-optic, single-mode and multimode), fluid connectors (hydraulic and pneumatic quick-disconnects), and mechanical connectors (fasteners and coupling elements used to join components). Some assemblies combine several functions, for example electrical and optical in a single housing.

Key design features include the contact arrangement (pins and sockets), mating cycles, impedance and signal integrity for high-frequency use, shielding and grounding, and locking or latching mechanisms. Environmental sealing is common, using gaskets or IP-rated housings to withstand dust, water, or vibration. Housing materials range from plastics to metals, and contacts are often plated (for example with gold or tin) to reduce corrosion and ensure reliable contact.

Standards and compatibility: many konnektoreid follow international standards or family specifications that define size, pinout, mating interface, and performance. Selection criteria include voltage and current rating, signal type and bandwidth, number of circuits, environmental conditions, space constraints, and cost. Proper mating, protection from contaminants, and regular inspection help maintain reliability.
