Connector A component which terminates conductors for the purpose of providing connection and disconnection to a suitable mating component. Connector with breaking capacity (CBC) Connector specially designed to be engaged or disengaged in normal use when live or under load. The term 'live' is used if contacts are under an applied voltage, but not necessarily carrying current. The term 'load'is used if a current is flowing through the contacts (IEC 61984 3.2). Replacing the term: plug and socket device (PSD). Modular connector Connector of modular design that can be adapted to various applications. Contact...
