Connectors and adapters are components that join or convert interfaces between devices, cables, or systems. They enable modular design and compatibility across standards.
A connector provides the physical mating interface and carries electrical, optical, or data signals with defined
An adapter converts one interface to another, often via a short cable or housing. Examples include USB-C
Categories include electrical, circular, and rectangular connectors; fiber optic connectors such as SC and LC; and
Design also includes mechanical features such as keying, latching, and mating cycles; termination methods (crimp, solder,
Standards and interoperability: IEC, MIL-DTL for general/military, USB-IF, HDMI Licensing, and telecom standards help ensure compatibility.
In practice, selection should match interface type, environment, and electrical requirements while avoiding forced fits. Proper
