Heavy-duty connector
1. Features:
  • Widely used: Heavy-duty connector is a universal connector, widely used in industry, electronics, communications, automobiles and other fields
  • Various types: There are various types of heavy-duty connectors, such as circular connectors, rectangular connectors, etc., which can meet different needs
  • Reliable connection: Heavy-duty connectors are reasonably designed and reliable in connection, which can ensure the stable transmission of current, signals, etc.
  • Easy to install: Usually designed to be simple and easy to install, no professional technicians are required for installation.
  • Waterproof and dustproof: Many heavy-duty connectors have functions such as waterproof and dustproof to adapt to different working environments.

2. Structure:
  • Shell: Usually made of metal or engineering plastics, with certain durability and corrosion resistance.
  • Guide: Responsible for guiding the wire or cable to the correct position.
  • Plug: Contains multiple jacks for receiving wires in the cable.

3. Working principle:
The wires in the cable are inserted into the connector plug to form an electrical connection to ensure the transmission of current and signals. The guide ensures that the wires are correctly inserted into the corresponding plug position to avoid crossover or short circuit.

4. Application:
  • Industrial field: used for cable connection in mechanical equipment, industrial automation and other fields.
  • Electronic field: used to connect electronic equipment, instruments and meters, etc.
  • Communication field: used for the connection of communication equipment, such as communication base stations.
  • Automobile field: used for the connection of automotive electrical systems.

Aviation plug
1. Features:
  • Specialized for aviation field: Aviation plug is a connector dedicated to the aviation field, used in avionics equipment and aircraft systems.
  • High temperature and high pressure resistance: Aviation plugs are required to withstand the complex environment inside the aircraft, including high temperature, high pressure, etc.
  • High reliability: Aviation plugs have extremely high reliability requirements to ensure the safe operation of aircraft.
  • Strict standards: The design and manufacture of aviation plugs are subject to strict aviation standards and regulations.
2. Structure:
  • Shell: generally made of high-strength, high-corrosion-resistant metal to ensure the strength and durability of the connector.
  • Plug: has a specific jack and guide structure to ensure correct connection and positioning.
  • Dustproof and waterproof: Aviation plugs usually have dustproof and waterproof functions to adapt to the complex environment inside and outside the aircraft.

3. Working principle:
  • The jack in the plug corresponds to the wire in the aviation cable, ensuring the correct connection when inserted, thus achieving electrical transmission.
  • The guiding structure ensures correct insertion and positioning to avoid incorrect connection.

4. Application:
  • Avionics equipment: such as aircraft instruments, navigation systems, etc.
  • Aircraft systems: including aviation control systems, aviation communication systems, etc.
