Male connector female connector

If you ever need to join two things together, say puzzle pieces or Legos, you might use male connectors and female connectors. These connections are what keep things connected. So, in today’s post, we are going to cover what is the difference between male and female connector and how to use them? 

Male connectors feature protruding parts, such as a rod or bump. Female connectors have structures that jut inward, such as a hole or a slot. Male and female connectors are like keys and locks, fitting together and making a strong link. 

How to Identify Male and Female Connectors

To determine whether to describe a connector as male or female, you just need to examine its shape. If it sticks, it’s a connector for males. If it is a hole or a slot, it is a female connector. You can also think of it as males “go in” and females “receive” to help you remember who is whom.
