Connect the world - talk about computer connectors
All electronic telecommunication products have some components that connect "electronic signals" and "power", and "electronic signals" also need to connect bridges. These components and bridges are the "connectors" that we will introduce today. ". The industry also calls it "connector", or "connector", or "linker".
I don't know if you have noticed that a motherboard, in addition to the full board of capacitors, inductors, resistors and chips, what is the "large footprint" and "contact frequency"? It is also the "connector" that I want to introduce to you today, including the audio interface, network port, USB interface, parallel port on the back of the motherboard, including the CPU socket, memory slot, graphics card slot, SATA slot, DVI on the motherboard. Interfaces, etc., belong to the category of connectors.
Some of the world's largest connector brands - Foxconn's new connector products exhibited at the high-tech fair did not pay attention to the connector's friends may ask, is not a small slot, what is worth knowing, I buy The motherboard never only looks at the brand, only the chip, only look at the work, only look at the "materials." Indeed, when we took the opportunity, we paid great attention to the purchase of the motherboard, because he is the soul of the whole system, a good motherboard, should be a good brand, a good chip, good workmanship and good materials.
Why do I put quotes on the word "use materials" above? It is understood that many users pay attention to the "materials" when purchasing the motherboard, often only contains three parts: capacitors, substrates and quantities. And the connector, which is full of inconspicuous and very important components, is easy to ignore. Of course, it is related to most evaluations. However, as the degree of precision of electronic and electrical products becomes higher and higher, the precision requirements of connectors are also increasing. For example, the motherboard has a connector that connects the memory and the circuit board. It is less than 1 cm wide and 5 cm long, but it is covered with more than 400 pinhole-like holes. The copper wire transmitting the signal passes through it, as long as If a hole does not work, the entire computer will not work. Another example is the LGA 775 processor socket, which is known as “fragile”. The cheap and expensive motherboards are usually plugged and dropped several times, which will damage the fine stitches, which will affect the contact, and the whole motherboard will be scrapped.
A motherboard that uses all the brand-name connectors may cost more than a hundred yuan than a motherboard that uses all brand-name connectors! And if you don't understand it, it's hard to tell the difference! The quality of the connector work and the quality of the material often affect the speed of the system data transmission, the quality of the signal transmission, the smooth connection and other electrical performance, and ultimately affect the system performance, stability and life. Therefore, when we look at whether a motherboard material is excellent, the connector should be placed in a more important position. There are many manufacturers of connectors in the world, and the most commonly used motherboards are FOXCONN, AMP and other brands. Among them, Foxconn FOXCONN motherboard connectors (CPU socket, memory slot, graphics card slot, I / O interface, etc.) is the world's recognized first connector brand, brand-name high-end motherboards almost all use FOXCONN connector, Foxconn connection It also accounts for more than 60% of the global share! Let's take a look at the examples of connectors commonly used on various motherboards in the market.
"Bridge" realized by SLi dual graphics technology - connection card
The audio interface and network port of a brand-name motherboard use FOXCONN connectors.
This motherboard uses a network port and USB interface made by AMP.
Intel original motherboard with FOXCONN base
FOXCONN peripheral connector assembly on a brand-name motherboard
Even the memory DIMM slot uses FOXCONN, this motherboard is really a waste of blood. Since the connector on the motherboard is so important, we can pay attention to the following three aspects when purchasing:
1, look at the brand, the solid material of the motherboard will never cut corners in this small place, generally use FOXCONN and AMP products, and the use of the brand-name motherboard is often no brand or unknown connector; Look at the workmanship: the quality of the connector work is quite fine, because it is a precision device, the interface pinholes are neatly arranged, the exposed parts are polished and clean, no burr burrs; 3, see the materials: brand-name connectors to ensure better electrical performance, More durable, the interface (such as the gold finger inside the memory slot) is evenly thick and even gold plated.
Calculated, a variety of motherboard connectors from the value of a few cents to a few dollars, there are not many manufacturers to really study. But when we knew that a company had more than 8,000 patents on this small connector, we had to respect the company. He was the dark horse of the motherboard industry last year, Foxconn. It is understood that the general company will only open a pair of molds in 3 to 6 months, Foxconn will be able to open a pair in 3 to 5 days, and the entire development base will open thousands of molds in one month. This kind of spirit of technology development and innovation at any cost is worth learning. It is no wonder that many famous IT products such as Intel and Dell are from Foxconn. According to previous news, Foxconn has already received orders for accessories for Apple's iPod music player, and Apple has promised to supply Foxconn with connectors and mechanical parts for the iPod.
It is no wonder that some authoritative figures in the computer field commented: "In the field of connectors, Foxconn's value is like Intel in the processor field." This sentence aptly reflects Foxconn's important position.
