IC sockets and headers are board-mounted female connectors that serve as carriers for integrated circuit (IC) chips

Smart card chips contain a microprocessor and/or memory. They are embedded in smart cards; portable devices that resemble credit cards but are used in applications such as banking and health care

PC card connectors are used to connect computer cards to computers. Examples include PC cards and CompactFlash cards

Memory cards are computer chips used to add memory to a computer

Bar code scanners are designed to read imprinted bar / matrix code symbologies.  Bar code scanners can be slot card scanners, fixed mount scanners, or hand-held scanners

Electrical connectors are devices that join electrical circuits together. Male connectors plug into receptacles, jacks, and outlets. Female connectors contain sockets to receive other devices

Automated test equipment (ATE) is used to monitor and control test and measurement devices, keeping human interaction at a minimum.

Industrial computer motherboards are printed circuit boards (PCBs) that house basic computer circuitry and vital components. They are devices into which other boards or cards are plugged

Bus adapters connect peripherals to computers that do not provide native support for a peripheral's interface. Some bus adapters are housed in cables that connect one bus to another. Others are board-level cards, blades, or stand-alone units with interfaces and power supplies

Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips are single-transistor memory cells that use small capacitors to store each bit of memory in an addressable format that consists of rows and columns. Because capacitors are unable to hold a charge indefinitely, DRAM memory chips require a near-constant pulse of current to retain stored information.

Micro connectors and nano connectors exhibit contact pitches of 0.05'' (micro) and 0.025'' (nano), respectively.

Magnifiers are inspection instruments that are used to magnify a product or part detail via a lens system.

Industrial backplanes are circuit boards that contain sockets or expansion slots for connections to other circuit boards. There two types of industrial backplanes: active and passive

Electric test probes are used to establish a connection between a circuit under test and the measuring instrument.

DIN connectors are high frequency, multi-pin, electrical connectors that meet standards established by Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. The ends of DIN connectors are round, notched, and protected by a metal skirt to ensure that pins line up correctly.
