The male head is a pin on the plug, and the female head is a hole on the plug.
For example, a 9-pin male connector is a 9-pin plug; The 9-position female head is the 9-hole plug. In fact, the male and female of the plug are based on the animal structure. In English, they are male and female.
In the electronic and mechanical industries, in order to facilitate trade and manufacturing, fasteners such as connectors are usually designed into two forms: male end and female end. The female end plays the role of receiving and receiving the male end, and the shape is concave. A section with one or more protrusions or other parts is called the male end. Therefore, in terms of name, the two words of male and female (whether in Chinese or English) are directly used.
At the beginning, the shape difference between male and female connectors is to emphasize the unidirectional flow of current and signal. For example, for electronic power connectors, there are corresponding hard regulations to determine the male and female. When the current flows from the female base to the male, the male and female of the connector can strengthen the safety or ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and prevent some unsafe factors or improper connection.
