In information science connectors normally called as input output connectors or I/O are interfaces for linking devices by using cables.
They generally have a male end with pins protruding from it. This plug is meant to be inserted into a female part is called a socket which includes holes for accommodating the pins. However there are hermaphroditic plugs can act as either male or female plugs, and can be inserted into either one. The pins and holes in connectors are usually linked to the electric wires which from the cable. The pin layout describes which pins couple with which wires. Each numbered pin generally corresponds to wire within the cable but sometime one of this pin is left unused. In some cases two pins may be linked to one another is called bridge. The computer motherboard has a certain numbers of input- output connectors located on rear panel. The pins should be connected softly.
