3. Banana plugs or Banana connector
Banana plugs: A banana connector is a single-wire (one conductor)
electrical connector used for joining wires to equipment.
Application: Speaker connector

4. Alligator clips
Alligator clips: A crocodile clip (also alligator clip) is a sprung metal clip
with long, serrated jaws which is used for creating a temporary electrical
connection.

7. Power connector
Power connectors are devices that allows an electrical current to pass
through it for the exclusive purpose of providing power to a device (not a
data stream, for example, or anything more complex).

8. RJ connector
RJ connector: RJ Connectors are a family of push-and-click connectors for
twisted-pair wiring in telephone and network wiring. RJ stands for
Registered Jack.

10. Important finding regarding connectors
Q What is the use of co-axial cable?
Q What will happen, if twisted pair cable is used in stead of co-axial
cable connection?
Q Why some wires have single copper thread, whereas some wire has
multiple thin threads?
Q What is the difference between temporary and stable connection?
Q Which connector provides the temporary connection in electrical
connection setup?
Q What is the difference between serial and parallel port ?
Q In RJ-M connector, what does this ’M’ specify?
Note: It is advised to all students that they have to also know the
other connectors along with details.
