Types of Connectors

The document discusses various common connectors used in electrical and electronics applications. It describes the RJ-45 connector used for unshielded twisted pair cabling. The most common coaxial cable connector is the BNC connector, which has adapter options like T-connectors and barrel connectors. RJ-11 connectors are typically used for telephone lines and computer modems. HDMI connectors are digital interfaces for transferring uncompressed high-definition multimedia and have become common on audio/video equipment. The document provides pictures to illustrate examples of each connector type.

Practical No. : Date:


Aim: Study of Various Connectors.

1. Unshielded Twisted Pair Connector:

The standard connector for unshielded twisted pair cabling is an RJ-45 connector. This is a plastic
connector that looks like a large telephone-style connector (See fig. 1). A slot allows the RJ-45 to
be inserted only one way. RJ stands for Registered Jack, implying that the connector follows a
standard borrowed from the telephone industry. This standard designates which wire goes with each
pin inside the connector.

2. Coaxial Cable Connectors:

The most common type of connector used with coaxial cables is the Bayone-Neill-Concelman
(BNC) connector (See fig. 2). Different types of adapters are available for BNC connectors,
including a T-connector, barrel connector, and terminator. Connectors on the cable are the weakest
points in any network. To help avoid problems with your network, always use the BNC connectors
that crimp, rather screw, onto the cable.

3. RJ- 11 connectors:

The RJ11 connector (RJ for Registered Jack) is the most commonly used connector for telephone
lines. It is similar to the RJ45 connector, but smaller.

When found on a computer, the RJ11 is generally meant for a modem.

4. HDMI connectors:

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a digital interface for transferring uncompressed,
high-definition multimedia data (audio and video). Some have called it "high-definition SCART."

Initiated by a consortium of manufacturers including Hitachi, Matsushita, Philips, Silicon Image,


Sony, Thomson and Toshiba, the HDMI interface was standardized in 2002 as version 1.0, then
revised in May 2004 (version 1.1) and finally in August 2005 (version 1.2).

As time goes by, it will be included little by litle with audio and video equipment, which will carry
this logo:

The HDMI standard brings with it a new compact connector, compatible with DVI (Digital Video
Interface), which looks like this:
