Do you know any professional terms related to card socket connectors?
Here are the translations of the professional terms in the domain of card connectors (card socket connectors) into English.
1. Contact
- Definition: The conductive part (e.g., terminals) responsible for electrical connections.
- Types: Includes spring contacts, blade contacts, etc.
2. Mating Cycles
- Definition: The number of insertion/extraction operations a connector can endure during its lifespan.
- Testing: Validated via durability testing.
3. Environmental Sealing
- Definition: Design features (e.g., gaskets, seals) to prevent ingress of moisture, dust, or contaminants.
- Applications: Used in harsh or outdoor environments.
4. Shielding
- Definition: Measures (e.g., metal shells, EMI/RFI shielding layers) to block electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference.
5. Soldering Type
- Definition: The method of attaching connectors to PCBs or substrates.
- Types: Through-hole soldering (THT) and surface-mount technology (SMT).
6. Contact Area
- Definition: The physical area where terminals make electrical contact.
- Importance: Larger areas reduce contact resistance and improve performance.
7. Contact Force
- Definition: The pressure applied between mating terminals.
- Importance: Ensures stable electrical and mechanical connections.
8. Contact Arrangement
- Definition: The layout of terminals within a connector.
- Types: Single-row, dual-row, circular, etc.
9. Contact Material
- Definition: The base metal used for terminals.
- Common Materials: Phosphor bronze, beryllium copper, stainless steel.
10. Plating Thickness
- Definition: The thickness of the metal coating on terminals.
- Importance: Affects conductivity, corrosion resistance, and longevity.
