RITS (remote I/O terminal system) connectors are a type of printed circuit board connector that allows you to easily make connections using a generic tool and connector. The advantage of RITS connectors is that they save you a lot of time and effort, as other connections require greater precision and may need more preparation, such as stripping the wires before they can be connected.
How do RITS connectors work?
RITS connectors function very simply. A wire can be inserted into the system and is then clamped using a generic tool such as a pair of pliers. Some RITS devices will make a clicking sound when the wire is properly locked into place.
Types of RITS connectors
RITS connectors may vary by the number of contacts they have, their current and voltage rating, and their maximum and minimum operating temperature. This will affect which type of RITS connector you choose, as it depends on the environment in which it will be used.
