For users who do not know the industry, they may not know the difference between "terminal" and "connector", as follows:

By definition

Connector, usually refers to the electrical connector is the general term of all connectors, which transmits current or signal through the connection of the cathode and anode;

Terminal, also known as "wiring terminal", is a kind of accessory product used to realize electrical connection, which is classified as "connector" in industry.

Terminal is a kind of connector, and connector is a general term!

In terms of application

Terminal blocks generally belong to rectangular connectors, and their application scope is relatively simple. They are generally used in the electronic and electrical field: PCB board terminals, hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, etc. In the power industry, there are special terminal blocks and terminal boxes: single-layer, double-layer, current, voltage, common, and interruptible.

The connector is mainly used for the connection between circuits, and is the core basic component necessary for the electrical connection of the circuit system. The main application fields of the connector are smart home, automobile, communication, computer and peripherals, industry, military industry and aerospace. With the development of the application range, the connector will be more and more widely used, basically in all industries!

This is the introduction of "terminal" and "connector". I hope it will be helpful to you!
