Know the various types of cable connectors!

From military to space and from medical to electrical industries, everywhere cable connectors play an important role in connecting different circuit boards. They have multiple uses and the basis of electricity generation through the wire. They have some complex features and here I will explain a little about how they work. Most custom connectors have male and female parts where the male parts have pins projecting outward and the female parts have sockets that are recessed below the insulator surface!

Both the parts are “polarized” so that they do not “mate” in a disoriented manner. This is extremely essential for their joining otherwise no electric signal will flow through the circuit. They are used for many consumer electronics. The Custom cable assemblies as the name suggests are integrated in a manner that the specific requirements of a user are fulfilled. The added advantage is that custom connectors come in various shapes and sizes to fit your needs. It not like a ‘one size fits all’ theory! The exact print requirements of a user is analyzed and then the work on actual design and manufacturing is started.


AdamTech is a company that uses the latest technology and very careful analysis of your requirements before jumping off with the manufacturing work. All its products are environment friendly and it makes sure not to release hazardous materials into the air in the manufacturing process. Ideally you should choose such a company and it also delivers high quality cable design engineering, drawing and sampling reports. 

How waterproof connectors are helpful?
Now connectors can easily catch dust and moisture. The small amount of moisture may get accumulated over time and cause erosion of wire and faulty behaviour in their operations. To avoid some harsh weather conditions like rain/storm and to generally enhance the life-span of the cable, waterproof connectors are used. An IP67 waterproof connector provides resistance against sand, dust, salt spray, UV radiation and temperatures up to 200 degree celsius. The term IP means ‘Ingress Protection’ and these types of cable connectors also provides protection against any liquid ingress. Adam Tech is a huge warehouse, manufacturing all types of waterproof connectors which align with IP67 specifications. 

Because of their ability, the waterproof connectors are mostly used in high intensity industries like industrial machinery, test and measurement industries and many industries that use high amount of heat and pressure. 

Pogo pins for small electronic devices
While waterproof connectors solve most problems, pogo pins are used in cases where small electronic devices needs connectors between printed circuit boards. They are small sharp pins that make secure contact between two circuits and enhance the flow of electricity. They are used in mobile phones, automotive, medical devices, aerospace and much more. 

Thus, after knowing these types of connectors and their usages, you would be able to take a wise decision of which type of connector does your industry needs.

How to check the quality of cable connectors?

Electrical wire connectors are basically electromechanical devices used to make a low impedance tight contact between two or more electrical wires. These connectors are encased in a tough material cover so that it prevents two metal wires from coming in contact with each other. This set up eliminates any lead to faulty behavior like short circuit. There are many connectors available in the market and are known to have many advance features compared to previous size, shape and parameters. Some types of cable connectors are pogo pins, waterproof connectors and custom cable assemblies and can be used according to the particular needs.

Pogo Pins are cylindrical devices used to establish a connection between two printed circuit boards. Due to their sharp ends they are used to make secure contact between two circuits and thus enhance the flow of electricity without any obstacle.

Waterproof Connectors are developed to establish a connection between circuits in bad weather conditions like rain and storm. Waterproof connectors help establish a corrosion resistant plastic covering that helps in avoiding any damage to wire.

Let’s understand their working
First the power should be switched off, then the right size and shape of wire should be selected. Selecting the right sized wires will prevent any electrical load, failures and shocks. This happens because whenever any electrical wire is connected to a circuit and switch is turned on it makes electrical signals to flow through the wire and hence may heat up the wire and cause it to expand. If it is a thicker wire than the right size it may pop out of the casing and cause any serious damage. If it is smaller size it will not carry appropriate current and contract to a small size while cooling. Hence it is very necessary to choose the right sized wires.

Adam Tech is an electrical cable manufacturing and selling company. It has its distributors in Taiwan and China and has its sales team keeping products in warehouses of Union, New Jersey, USA. Adam Tech provides ease of Custom cable assemblies and also cares about the environment and human health and does not use hazardous materials for its manufacturing.

Custom cable assemblies are manufactured for specific applications based upon customer designs and print requirements.They are designed specifically as per customer needs and can be manufactured according to your usage.


How to choose a good cable connector?
You should look for the following properties when you choose a cable connector:
1.Should use metal like copper, copper clad steel and silver but the best metal is Copper because Copper has the property of Conductivity and malleability.
2.The type of shielding used in the cable.
3.The type of insulation material used so that it does not leak electricity at any point.
4.The size of the wire which will be rated on the connector box and help you decide which wire you need.


A huge manufacturing shop like Adam Tech provides online products. It holds many years of experience and helps you get the best connector for you residential or commercial requirements. So if want good quality cable connector be very thorough of what you want and then make a purchase.
