Power connectors are a crucial linkage between a power source and any particular device. Without it, the device cannot function. When it comes to consumer electronics, like desktop computers, such devices need to plug into a wall socket to be able to function. But when it comes to non-consumer equipment, power connectors are slightly different. Let’s read on to know more about them and the best connector brands in the market. Definition of power connectors A device that permits an electrical current to pass through itself to supply power to an electronic device is known as a power connector. These connectors can be used for a variety of purposes and it must match the need and electronic device’s geometry to be properly functional. They may work on either direct current or alternating current. While the former work on electronic devices, battery packs, and automotive accessories, the latter allow devices to be connected to the main power source in a building. Types of power connectors Other than those based on current types, the other types of power connectors available in the market depend on the duration of the connection (be it permanent or temporary), on removal or assembly method, on the location of conductive interfaces (also known as female or male), and the like. A few connectors also come with special features like vibration, water resistance, shock resistance, physical damage resistance, and more. Some can only withstand a low amount of disconnections and connections before they may fail. Power connector pinout The correct pinout is crucial for a power connector to perform optimally. This can make or break a product. Different manufacturers use varied methods to make wire connections. Some of them include soldering, wire wrapping, and others. Choosing the right pinout is essential to avoiding any accidental disconnections of the powered device. Components of connectors A few components of connectors include blades, jacks, pins, sockets, and plugs. While some of these are referred to as male connectors, others are known as female ones. To help you avoid a faulty connection, some models do come with a mechanical adaptation that lets it connect to the pinout’s appropriate orientation, angle, and match. Top connector brands There are several best connector brands in the market today. With the advancement of electronic technology, companies both at home and abroad have ventured into this ever-growing digital space to offer customers various models for varying needs.

When we have a smartphone with us or when we plan to buy a Smartphone, one of the most basic aspects we are all looking for is a long battery life that will last through the day at the minimum. It is indeed a pain to be travelling around with low battery and having to charge it frequently using a charger or a power bank. Unfortunately, technology hasn't come up with a mobile which even when used to its full potential will still back a long battery life. This could be because of the many reasons like the constant use of the GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and games. All we can do is limit the usage of several applications at the same time and set a time limit on usage. However, limiting these settings can just extend the battery life to some extent. Here are some ways to boost the battery life of your smartphone: Screen: A big screen and a colorful bright display definitely makes for an eye-catching background for the phone screen. However, at the same time, it is the mortal enemy of the battery. The display is said to consume the most of battery life. Most new phones have auto brightness option which automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the ambient illuminance. This mode controls the power to some extent by not running the same brightness throughout the day, but if you're able to adjust the brightness manually at each ambiance with a medium brightness, then it will definitely help save the battery of the phone. Maintain screen timeout at a lesser count: Mnay smartphones, in their general settings, have an option called auto-lock (one can adjust the time here). This feature decides how long the phone screen should be in the awake mode'. So, the lesser the screen timeout is, the better it is for your phone battery. Hands-free handsets: Using a bluetooth hands-free headset is the most convenient thing if you are traveling in crowded subway or even driving. However, this also means that your bluetooth is on all the time, resulting in draining of the battery to no end. If not within an hour, the battery of the phone would just drain off. Switching off data, Wi-Fi and GPS: Switching off the Wi-Fi connections, GPS and mobile data when you do not need it is one of the easiest and prudent ways to save battery. Also, using Wi-Fi is better than using mobile data, as a general rule. Applications: Users should be aware of the apps that and running in the mobile and make sure that they all don't integrate with the camera, location, etc. Also, one should be aware that the apps shouldn't be on auto update, or it will end with all apps downloading data whenever one is connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data. This will end up draining a lot of battery.

Diabetes refers to the condition of your blood carrying an excess of sugar. Sugar is a source of energy, and when it is ingested, the body secretes a hormone called insulin. Insulin helps to "open" cells so that the glucose can enter the cells and energy can be released. Now when there is a shortage of insulin or if insulin is unable to open, the cells for energy is released. The sugar which is ingested is not processed and remains in the bloodstream. This causes diabetes. Although there are different types of diabetes, the symptoms for each of the types are more or less the same. Most of the time, diabetes occurs in people who do not show any of these symptoms at all. Symptoms If you happen to show one or two symptoms from the below list, then it's best you get a blood test done first thing.

• Excessive thirst on a frequent basis
• Increased appetite (sensation of hunger even after large meals)
• Excess urination
• Fatigue
• Weight loss
• Blurred vision

Small changes to your lifestyle can reduce your risk of getting diabetes by a long way. What Is The Normal Blood Sugar Range? The blood sugar levelis lowest in the morning and the blood sugar level at this time is the Fasting level. The normal blood sugar range for a nondiabetic person at this time is between 3.9 to 5.5 mmoI/L, while thenormal blood sugar range for a diabetic person is between 4.4 to 7.2 mmoI/L. The blood sugar levelrises after a meal, so the test is usually done after 2 hours of consuming food. Thenormal blood sugar range will change in this case. The normal blood sugar range for a nondiabetic person is between 6.5 to 7.8 mmoI/L and the normal blood sugar level for a diabetic person is approximately 10.0 mmoI/L. How to prevent diabetes You can prevent diabetes or at least reduce the risk by taking certain preventive measures. If you are prone to hereditary diabetes, you need to take certain precautions to delay the onset of diabetes. Here are a few preventive measures you can follow. Cut down on the sugar When you consume more sugar, the body has got to produce more and more insulin to burn all that sugar into energy. Now, if you don't give the body so much work by reducing your sugar intake, you are reducing the risk of increased sugar levels in your blood. Work out whenever you can Studies have shown that regular engagement in physical activity improves the sensitivity of your insulin. This means that lesser amounts of insulin are required for your body to maintain the sugar levels. Water all the way Set water as your go-to beverage whenever you are thirsty. Replacing those sodas and carbonated drinks with water will reduce the amount of sugar you consume. If you consume a lot of drinks with high sugar content, you increase your chances of getting LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults). Treatment for this takes much longer to be effective than the original diabetes itself. Lose weight If you feel that you are overweight or that you have a bit too much on your waistline, create a workout regime and stick to it. Make a plan to change your diet and to hit the gym regularly. When you are overweight, the excess fat around your waist, also called visceral fats, promote insulin resistance which decreases the sensitivity. This increases your risk of getting diabetes. Drop the cigarette Research has shown that smokers have a higher chance of getting diabetes than nonsmokers. If you smoke, even occasionally, try to break that habit. Five or ten years down the road your risk of acquiring diabetes will be the same as that of a nonsmoker. There are several other ways to prevent diabetes. But the most important question is, are you willing to do what it takes to prevent diabetes? Everything worth having comes at a price, so decide to pay that price and reduce your risks of getting diabetes and live a longer and healthier life.
