1. Application: This connector is widely used in PCB circuit boards in electronics, electrical appliances, and meters.

2. Function: Its function is to act as a bridge between blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, and take on the task of current or signal transmission. It is usually used together with the row mother to form a plate-to-plate connection. Or matched with an electronic wire harness end to form a board-to-board connection; It can also be used independently for board-to-board connection.

3. Classification: According to the spacing, it can be roughly divided into o 7 categories: 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.27mm, 2.00mm, 2.54mm, 3.96mm, and 5.08mm (other special spacing can also be customized according to needs); According to the number of rows, there are a single row of mothers, double row of mothers, three rows of mothers, four rows of mothers, etc. According to the packaging rules, there are SMT, DIP, etc. According to the installation method: 180 degrees, 90 degrees, SMT； According to whether it is necessary to increase height and whether it is necessary to have positioning posts, there are two types of positioning posts, one is internal positioning posts and the other is ear positioning posts. Female terminal type: U-terminal and Y-terminal (U-terminal, contact with U-terminal with 3 surfaces of general plastic height; Y-terminal, contact with 2 sides generally plastic high with Y-terminal).
