As a very important electronic component, industrial connectors are widely used. So what exactly are industrial connectors?

Industrial connectors are electromechanical components used to connect wires, cables, and control panels (bins).Usually we call it aviation plug, which mainly consists of five parts:

1. Contact: A conductive part with one end used for plug-in connection and the other end used for terminating the wire. Also called a pin or socket;

2. Insulation mounting plate: an insulating part that supports and positions the contact parts. Also called an insulator;

3. Shell: parts for installing insulating mounting plates and contacts;

4. Locking mechanism: a device for locking the plug and socket to prevent loosening;

5. Tail accessories: accessories or parts connected to the tail of the plug or socket used to fix and clamp wires or cables, such as cable covers, cable clamps, etc.

What role do industrial connectors play in various devices and systems?

The main function of industrial connectors is to realize the transmission and control of electrical signals and the power connection between electronic and electrical equipment.It can connect and disconnect the circuit by plugging and unplugging the connector plug and the socket.Connectors are required to reliably conduct circuits, transmit information, and perform specific functions under various environmental conditions.

Their reliability directly affects the reliability of engineering systems such as equipment and products.In some harsh working conditions, such as industrial manufacturing environments, outdoor environments and other relatively harsh environments, it is necessary to use aviation plugs with better environmental performance to provide high-reliability connections for power, signals and data.

What are the general characteristics of aviation plug connectors?

1. High interchangeability: the plugs and sockets of industrial connectors of the same model, variety, specification, same batch or different batches can be plugged into each other and achieve the required electrical, mechanical and other performances;

2. Good operating touch, the operating action feels comfortable and smooth;

3. Anti-misinsertion function;

4. Reliable locking and anti-loosening mechanism of industrial connectors;

5. High safety: such as insulation resistance and withstand voltage must be high enough;

6. High overload resistance;

7. High reliability and stability;

8. Good resistance to environmental conditions.
