The following list is my personal Top Ten of connectors. The connectors I have chosen are based on my experience and personal preference and no other criteria. I just like them!
1 – The D-Type Connector
2 – RJ45 Ethernet Connector
3 – IDC Connectors
4 – Molex KK Series
5 – SMA Connector
6 – Tyco Mate-N-Lok
7 – Harting Han Series –
8 – JST PHR Series
9 – The Mill Spec Mill-C 26482
10 – IEC C Series
I think you can make just about anything work using the above connecters, mostly they have been around for ages, that’s not a bad thing because anything that lasts in this industry is because it works and works well.
