What Does Female Connector Mean?
A female connector is a type of connector that consists of a jack into which a male connector can be inserted. It is usually present at the end of a cable or other hardware such that a secure physical and electrical connection between two or more devices is made possible. A male connector can be converted into a female connector and vice versa by a tool called a gender changer.
Techopedia Explains Female Connector
A female connector is a connector used for electrical, physical or data transfer. A female connector has one or more holes into which a male connector can attach its exposed plug-type conductor firmly for a reliable connection. Female connectors are recognized by their physical characteristics. When the male connector has been removed, a female connector’s conductor is not exposed like that of a male connector, and can not come into accidental contact with objects.
