Difference between Connected and UnConnected Lookup Transformation

Difference between Connected and UnConnected Lookup Transformation:

Connected lookup receives input values directly from mapping pipeline
whereas UnConnected lookup receives values from: LKP expression from another transformation.

Connected lookup returns multiple columns from the same row
whereas UnConnected lookup has one return port and returns one column from each row.

Connected lookup supports user-defined default values
whereas UnConnected lookup does not support user defined values.
