CONNECTORS

1. Kinds of socket and plugs

a. Round
b. Rectangular
2. Difference between sockets female and plugs male
3. How t read pin number in socket?
4. How to connect socket and plug together?
5. How to use the facilities of socket and plug guide? And reason of guides
6. Kind of fixing round socket
a. Normal thread
b. Fast release allows with self lock (refer to sheet)
7. Kind of fixing rectangular
a. By studs
b. By clips
8. Round socket are use for
a. L.R.U.
b. Wires to wires from area to area
c. Electrical panels distributed
9. Rectangular socket are used for
a. Controllers and computers
b. Soft ware
c. Ground connection
d. Program module
e. Terminal block
f. Relay basis
10. Rectangular socket basis guide
a. There are a male guide in the fixed socket base and female in computers or the
unit
b. Those guide shape polarize has been changed (changed position) when the unite
modified, WHY?
11. Optical connector
a. The optical connector is mechanically element which allows connection of two
optical fiber links, the optical fiber link is an optical fiber fitted with contact at
each end allowing the installation of the optical cable connector
b. How to insert optical in the socket
12. Most properly all plugs locked to its socket either by self lock or locking wire
13. Wire pass from unpressurized to pressurized area by two ways
a. Special socket and plugs drawing
b. Special connection pass from pressure unpressurized sheet

14. Back shell
a. To ensure wire extended straight (not bended)
b. In case of broken lock the back shell prevent pin movement
c. It can determined the wire angle after socket as required
d. Shell is allows fixed to the plug with certain torque
15. Shielding is either fixe to the plug then to earth or to earth directly
16. Back Plug must be protected by good rubber seal (grommet) to prevent dust,
moisture, fluids
17. Socket grommet is always rubber, but some of these grommets are ceramic or hard
plastic specially in rectangular plug to prevent scratches or damage during
computer installation and also in engine socket (high temperature)
18. For cleaning socket and plug
a. Use alcohol, brushes, air
b. Special spray according to air craft manual
c. Screen cleaning bade
19. Pin insertion and extraction
a. BOING practical training
b. AIRBUIS
20. There are two kinds of sockets
a. Front release pin
b. Rear release pin
Front release is the most probably in BOING family
Rear release is the most probably in AIRBUS family
21. Socket pin blanked to ensure good sealing around the unused pin
22. Each connector marked with a number either P/N or Vendor number
23. Special protection for connectors by applying plated either Cadmium or Aluminum or
others it depend on the connection area
