A device (or, more precisely, a mating pair of devices, often a plug and a socket) for connecting together two wires, cables, or hoses, allowing electricity or fluid to flow but also allowing easy disconnection and reconnection when necessary
A highway or freeway road which connects to another highway or freeway. It can be part of an interchange or a longer roadway such as the 1.5 mile (2.5 kilometer) U.S. Route 24 Connector
A device designed to allow electrical flow from one wire or cable to a device on another cable A connector will allow interruption of the circuit or the transfer to another circuit without any cutting of wire or cable or other preparation
An Exchange component that routes messages between Exchange sites and other messaging systems For example, the Internet Mail Service enables Microsoft Outlook users to exchange messages with other users on the Internet
This is what connects components The goal is to provide protocol independence The nice thing about connectors is that Component Services does a lot of the detailed work for you All the user has to do is know how to generate connectors for a component We use Ant to do that The first time the notion of connectors are introduced is in the Getting Started trail of the tutorial Generating connectors is outlined in more detail in the Developing Components trail When components are designed, the connection part of component relationships are denoted by a modeling method, the Architectural Description Language, ADL
Object used to interface between client connections and protocols, usually used with a twisted internet protocol ClientFactory to give you control over how a client connection reconnects See twisted internet interfaces IConnector and Writing Clients
A device for mating and demating electrical power connections or communications media (188) Note: A connector is distinguished from a splice, which is a permanent joint
A device that connects wires or fibers in cable to equipment or other wires or fibers Wire and optical connectors most often join transmission media to equipment or cross connects A connector at the end of a telephone cable or wire is used to join that cable to another cable with a mating connector or to some other telecommunications device
A standard extension mechanism for containers to provide connectivity to enterprise information systems A connector is specific to an enterprise information system and consists of a resource adapter and application development tools for enterprise information system connectivity The resource adapter is plugged in to a container through its support for system-level contracts defined in the connector architecture
A device to connect and disconnect copper wires or fibers in cable to equipment or to other wires or fibers Copper wire and fiber optic connectors most often join transmission media to equipment or cross-connects
Software that provides connectivity to message switches and manages the interface to Kenamea applications Kenamea provides connectors for Windows, Java, PocketPC, and JavaScript environments
A plug or receptacle which can be easily joined to or separated from its mate Multiple-contact connectors join two or more conductors with others in one mechanical assembly
acq A piece of hardware that joins or attaches lines or cables to other lines or cables or to items of equipment The term is used rather loosely to refer to either of two parts that mate with each other or to the plug that mates with a receptacle [MIL-HDBK-1908B]
A device used to couple (connect) components of a personal fall protection system or positioning device system The connector may be an independent component (such as a carabinier) or an integral component (such as a buckle or dee-ring sewn into a body harness) of the system Connectors must be drop forged or made of equivalent materials; they must have a corrosion-resistant finish and all surfaces and edges must be smooth to prevent damage to other parts of the system
