1. By definition
A connector generally refers to an Electrical Connector, which is a general term for all connectors. It is a type of accessory product used to achieve electrical connections by connecting the anode and cathode to transmit current or signals. In industry, it is classified as a connector.
Terminal Blocks are used for the convenience of connecting wires. They are actually a piece of metal enclosed in insulating plastic, with holes at both ends for inserting wires.
2. From the perspective of ownership scope
The terminal is part of the connector
A connector is a general term, which usually includes two parts: a rubber shell and a terminal. The rubber shell is made of plastic, while the terminals are made of metal.
3. From a practical application perspective
Terminal block is a type of connector, generally belonging to rectangular connectors.
The scope of use of terminals is also relatively limited, generally used in the electronic and electrical field: PCB board terminals, as well as hardware terminals, nut terminals, spring terminals, etc.
