The terminal is part of the connector. Connector is a general term, in fact, we generally see the connector, usually including shell (shell) and terminal (terminal) two parts
The connector is a wire-to-wire connection; the connector is a connection between the wire and the board. In real life people often blur the same thing.
connector = connector is the first category, the terminal is only "connector" in a category
Housing is the majority of plastic, from the protective effect, terminal is metal, from the general use.
