What Is the Difference Between GND and COM?

In electrical and electronic engineering, GND (Ground) and COM (Common) are both widely used concepts, but they differ significantly in function, application, and electrical characteristics. Misunderstanding these terms can lead to wiring errors, signal interference, or even equipment damage. This article explains their differences with practical examples. 1. Definition and Core Function GND (Ground) Acts […]
