What is a Thin Generation Connector?

There are two distinct phases in the life of a pin connector. The first is the open circuit or "open" connection, as the name implies, which provides both power and data to a device. The second phase is the close circuit or "close" connection, which is required only when the power is removed from the connector or the connection fails because the cable was improperly installed. This is the time when the new Tpin is used to fill the function. It should be noted that both of these connections can occur at the same time, with one connection lasting for the entire life cycle of the connector or cable. There are some situations where it may be desirable for both types of Tpin connections, but such as in the case of multiplexers.

As with all connectors, there are different sizes of Tpin generation connectors available, and they can be made from a wide range of different metals, including brass, steel, copper, stainless steel, silver, gold, tin, and plastic. Some of these metals have different electrochemical charges which produce different effects in the electrical currents that flow through them. When selecting a connector, be sure to check the appropriate compatibility requirements, which may vary depending on the connector pins.

The other thing to keep in mind is that in some cases the actual pins in a connector will be made of metal. If you're buying a cable, check for these metal pins first. Another option, and this is particularly popular with female connectors, are to buy the cable with the pins incorporated within a plastic sleeve that encases the actual connector. Plastic sleeves can be very flexible and allow for different connector shapes and lengths to be possible. This type of plastic sleeve is also available in different thicknesses, allowing different cable sizes and shapes to be possible, making the selection of a cable a more flexible exercise than would be possible with a metal sleeve.
