Steps To Purchasing Heavy Duty Connectors

heavy duty industrial connector is an electronic device widely used in industry, responsible for the "connection" of various electronic devices. But in some dust, humidity, and special industrial environments such as mechanical stress, we need a stronger, more durable, and more resistant connector to connect wires and equipment "interfaces".

Then the question comes:

Generally everyone will choose a connector, but how to choose heavy duty male female connector?

Determine the connection method of the connector.

The connection methods of heavy duty multi pin connectors include screws, shrapnel, direct plug-in, cold pressing, coaxial screws, etc.

Screws, shrapnel, and direct insertion do not require the purchase of accessories, are cheap, and are easy to operate.

Screwdrivers and shrapnel types require wiring, the wiring process is simple and convenient, and later on-site maintenance is more flexible.

Direct insertion does not require tools and is directly wired, but the price is higher than screws and shrapnel types.

The cold press type requires additional purchase of special male and female pins, and special crimping tools are required for crimping and disassembly.

Tips for purchase: When purchasing screws and shrapnel, for plug-in models, you need to consider price, wiring convenience, and actual conditions, such as later maintenance. The cold-pressed type requires special crimping tools and has higher requirements for operators. However, it is more reliable than other methods, the tools are more expensive, the overall cost is higher, and it is suitable for standardized batch assembly.

The second step is to determine the number of loops, voltage, and current.

As a bridge for connecting the two ends of the cable to transmit power or signals, the designer should select the cable when designing the heavy connector schematic diagram according to the voltage and current to be transmitted, so as to determine the diameter and number of cores of the cable used, the rated voltage, and the rated current.

Tips for purchase: Whether it is a cable or a connector, the transmission voltage and current must be lower than the rated voltage and rated current of the cable and connector. In some power transmission processes, the transmission current is usually greater than the rated current of the circuit, and the wiring diameter range is limited. In this case, a cable with a smaller wire diameter can be selected, but the power of the same potential is transmitted by two core wires, which will increase the number of circuits without selecting a cable with a larger wire diameter.

The third step is to determine the cable connector.

Purchase Tips: The specifications of the cable connector can be determined according to the requirements of the protection level of the butt connector.

Step 4: Confirm the shell type.

A sturdy shell helps the connector resist frost and vibration.

Purchase Tips: Different protective shells have different dimensions and different heavy duty cable connectors wire entry methods.
