What should be considered when selecting industrial connectors?
Industrial connectors are used to connect electrical equipment in industrial environments, providing safe and reliable transmission of electrical signals and power, achieving the connection and communication between various electrical devices. They typically have special features such as waterproofing, contact protection, shock resistance, and heat resistance to meet the requirements of various harsh industrial environments.
Industrial connectors are an essential component in electronic devices. Looking through the channel where the current flows, there is usually one or more connectors with form and structure varying greatly according to the application object, frequency, power, and application environment. Under normal environmental conditions, industrial connectors can be stored for more than 8 years.
Taking aviation plugs in industrial connectors as an example, we will explore the requirements that must be met when selecting the industrial connectors.
Generally, aviation plugs used in industrial connectors are not just for connecting current, as they are not just simple auxiliary interface components in aerospace system engineering. The reliability of aviation plugs directly affects the success of aerospace system engineering. Therefore, in addition to make sure the important factors such as technical and operational performance meet advanced design technology levels, engineers must also fully consider the material selection.
Firstly, the selected material should be lightweight. Weight is important for improving the technical performance indicators and economic benefits of aerospace planes. In addition, the material should have good corrosion resistance. Currently, magnesium aluminum alloy is used to make the shell of aviation plugs applied in aerospace engineering.
Aviation plugs are mainly used in aerospace environments and are easily impacted by temperature and radiation. Therefore, the selected materials must be resistant to high temperature and radiation, and PVC plastic should generally not be used.
Secondly, considering the safety of aerospace planes, the industrial connectors used should be non-toxic and flame retardant. Materials that can quickly self-extinguish during combustion can also be chosen.
Furthermore, the shell material must ensure that the structure's strength, molding technology, and rigidity meet the requirements of the aerospace system. For example, a mechanically processed box must use hard aluminum because it has good cutting machinability. Die-cast aluminum used for pressure-cast boxes have to be with good fluidity and density. Cold-deformed aluminum with good plasticity is used for cold extrusion boxes. For glass sintered seal connectors, low-expansion alloys are used to make shells and contacts because their expansion coefficient is consistent with that of glass. Some elastic components like claw clips, springs, short-circuit rings, and retaining rings, mainly play a role in positioning, locking and shielding, so materials used in industrial connectors must have reliable elastic functions.
