Structure and function of connector terminal
2023-05-20

Connectors are one of the crucial components in electronic systems, connecting various circuits, sensors, and actuators to the main circuit board. The terminal structure of the connector is one of its key components, which is used to connect the circuit and main circuit board of the connector, and provide electrical and mechanical connection. This article will introduce the structure and function of connector terminals.


Structure and type of connector terminals


Connector terminals are usually made of conductive materials, such as copper, silver, gold, etc. The conductive material is pressed into the socket of the connector and connected to the conductive material in the socket. The types of connector terminals include the following:


Pin connector terminals: Pin connector terminals are typically used to connect small circuits, such as sensors and actuators. They are usually composed of slender pins, and the length of the pins generally does not exceed 1.5 centimeters.


Chip connector terminals: Chip connector terminals are typically used to connect large circuits, such as connecting circuit boards and motors. They are made of thin sheet-like materials, typically ranging in thickness from 0.2 to 0.3 centimeters.


Snap on connector terminals: Snap on connector terminals are typically used to connect electronic devices to the main circuit board. They are usually made of metal clips that can be embedded into sockets and mechanically connected to the main circuit board.

The function of connector terminals


Transmission of electronic signals


Connector terminals, as one of the important components of connectors, mainly play a role in transmitting electronic signals in connectors. When the socket is successfully connected to the conductor, electronic signals are transmitted between them. The design, material selection, and processing changes of connector terminals directly affect the transmission quality of electronic signals.


Transmission of electricity


In many electrical equipment, connector terminals are also used to transmit power. They transmit electronic signals in a similar way, but carry a higher current, so more reliable designs and materials must be adopted to enable them to withstand higher currents and pressures.


Transferring data


In modern electrical equipment, the transmission of data and electronic signals is already inseparable. The connector terminals also achieve networking of connectors by transmitting data, such as Ethernet and other high-speed data transmission protocols.


The precautions are as follows:


Ensure that the terminals of the connector match the socket to avoid short circuits or other electrical problems.


Before connecting the connector terminals, it is important to confirm that the power supply has been cut off. Otherwise, there may be hazards such as electric shock.


Carefully inspect the surface condition of the connector terminals. If there is dirt or oxidation, it should be cleaned thoroughly to ensure the quality of the connection.


When connecting connector terminals, it is important to ensure that the spacing between the terminals meets electrical specifications. If the spacing is too small, it may cause a short circuit.


The screws of the connector terminals should be tightened to the appropriate torque, but excessive tightening should be avoided.


After completing the connector terminals, carefully check for correct connections to avoid electrical faults caused by poor connections.


If it is necessary to reconnect or replace the connector terminals, appropriate tools should be used to avoid damaging the connectors and cables.


In summary, connector terminals are crucial components in electronic systems, their role is to connect circuits to the main circuit board and provide electrical and mechanical connections.

AI high-performance computing - integrated storage and computing
Integrated storage and computing or in memory computing is the complete integration of storage and computing, directly utilizing memory for data processing or computation. Under the traditional von Neumann architecture, data storage and computation are separated. Due to the increasing performance gap between storage and computation, the speed at which the processor accesses stored data is much lower than the processor's computation speed. The energy consumption of data transportation between memory and main memory is also much higher than the energy consumed by the processor's computation.

The TPU architecture design also achieves efficient computation of network layers such as deep learning convolutional layer and fully connected layer by efficiently parallelizing a large number of multiplication and accumulation operations.

AI High Performance Computing - AI Chip Design
The simplest and most direct design approach for AI chips is to directly map neurons to hardware chips, as shown in the figure. The Full Hardware Implementation scheme maps each neuron to a logical computing unit and each synapse to a data storage unit. This architecture design can achieve a high-performance and low-power AI chip, such as an Intel ETANN chip. In the full hardware implementation scheme, the output data of the previous layer is multiplied by the weight, and the results of the multiplication are then added up, and then output to the next layer for calculation through an activation function. This architecture design tightly couples computing and storage, allowing the chip to avoid large-scale data access while performing high-speed computing, improving overall computing performance while also reducing power consumption.
