Requirements
An electrical connector is an electro-mechanical device for joining electrical circuits as an interface using
a mechanical assembly. Connectors consist of plugs (male-ended) and jacks (female-ended).
Connectors made out of PA66 are excellent electrical insulators, resist fire hazard, and are durable
enough to withstand stresses associated with mechanical assembly.
