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

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

USB connectors are used with universal serial bus (USB) ports. They can be used to connect USB products together, or to connect USB wires and peripherals to other standard port types

Centronics connectors are standard parallel interface devices for connecting printers and other peripherals such as portable disc drives, tape backup drives, and CD-ROM players to computers

AC power connectors transfer alternating current through a variety of electronic devices. AC power connectors include simple AC inlets, outlets, and power entry modules

Audio connectors are used to affix cables to other audio equipment, providing electronic signal transference and grounding protection

IEEE 1394 connectors are used to connect FireWire^® devices such as host controllers, adapters, hard drives, hubs, repeaters, and card readers. FireWire, a registered trademark of Apple Computer, is a communications protocol for the transmission of data, video, and audio over a single cable at very high bit rates

Gender changers are devices that change the end of a cable into another type, allowing two cable assemblies with the same or different genders to mate.

Cable assemblies are collections of wires or cables banded into a single unit with connectors on at least one end

Electrical receptacles, outlets, and wall sockets accept plugs and provide current to run electrical devices.

PCMCIA serial adapter cards provide one or more serial ports for a host computer. They interface with the host via a PCMCIA card bus and add RS232, RS422, or other types of serial ports.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) modules are used at the component level in place of less efficient displays such as cathode ray tubes (CRTs). These modules do not include a housing and must be incorporated into a larger instrument or system.

RF switches route radio frequency signals to particular waveguides.

RF limiters are circuits that prevent the amplitude of a waveform from exceeding a specified value. There are three basic types of RF limiters: conventional, feedback, and high power.

RF attenuators are circuits that reduce the power level of a signal by a certain amount (gain), with little or no reflection. They reduce the output signal with respect to the input and measure the power reduction in decibels (dB).
