20 Pieces Micro JST PH 2.0 2-Pin Connector Plug Male and 20 Pieces 10 cm Red and Black Silicone Cable Wire with Female Connector

Product Information

century dictionaries and encyclopedias mention male and female screws or cochleae. [4] A 1736 builder's manual mentions screw genders as metaphors for convex and concave shapes: In the case of consumer-level AC power, connector gender is used to implicitly enforce safe use of power connectors. Because of this consideration, it is illegal under electrical code to make or use any gender changers to connect AC line power to consumer-level equipment. Splice or butt connectors (primarily insulation displacement connectors) that permanently join two lengths of wire or cable PCB mount connectors soldered to a printed circuit board, providing a point for cable or wire attachment. [6] :56 (e.g. pin headers, screw terminals, board-to-board connectors) Printed circuit board (PCB) mounted screw terminals let individual wires connect to a PCB through leads soldered to the board.

If the furrowed surface be convex, 'tis called a Male Screw; if concave, a Female; and where Motion is to be generated, the Male and Female are always join'd.

We also define headers by the spacing (pitch) between connections, with 2.54mm (.1in) being typical. Other sizes are also available, like 1.27mm (.05in) or 2.00mm (.079in). Headers are normally through-hole devices, but you can also find surface-mount technology (SMT) headers. While straight headers are the norm, 90-degree pin headers are also common to accommodate various physical requirements. Additional Pin Header Uses

By definition, a hermaphroditic connector includes mating surfaces having simultaneous male and female aspects, involving complementary paired identical parts each containing both protrusions and indentations. These mating surfaces are mounted into identical fittings which can freely mate with any other, without regard for gender (provided that the size and type are already matched). Alternative names include hermaphrodite, androgynous, genderless, sexless, combination (or combo), two-in-one, two-way, and other descriptive terms. Several of these latter alternate names are ambiguous in meaning, and should not be used unless carefully defined in context. True hermaphroditic connectors should not be confused with mixed gender connectors, which are described elsewhere in this article.Foreman, Chris, "Sound System Design", Handbook for Sound Engineers, Third Edition, Glen M.

The hermaphroditic design is useful when multiple complex or lengthy components must be arbitrarily connected in various combinations. For example, if hoses have hermaphroditic fittings, they can be connected without having to pull a lengthy hose and reverse it because it has the wrong gender to connect to another hose. Some military fiber optical cables also have hermaphroditic connectors to prevent "wrong gender" connector problems in field deployments. In a similar fashion, railcars are usually equipped with hermaphroditic railway coupling mechanisms that allow either end of the vehicle to be connected to a train without having to turn the railcar around first. Some electrical connectors are hermaphroditic because they include both male and female elements in a single unit intended to interconnect freely, without regard for gender. See the discussion of Genderless connectors elsewhere in this article for more detailed information. David, Larry (17 March 2012). "Engineering Definitions – 'Com' to 'Con' ".

Retrieved 30 June 2019.For example, a female high-density D-subminiature connector with a size 1 shell can be named DE15F or DE15S (see accompanying pictures). Both terms mean the same thing but could be construed to be completely different items. Similarly, a male standard-density D-sub with a size 1 shell can be named DE9M or DE9P; a female standard-density D-sub with a size 2 shell can be named DA15F or DA15S; a male high-density D-sub with a size 3 shell can be named DB44M or DB44P; and so forth.
