As time goes on, the service life and reliability of industrial connectors will inevitably be reduced, which will lead to various problems and even serious accidents, Cause serious consequences. What should be paid attention to when using industrial connectors?
Severe environment 1: Vibration
The standard connector will react when placed in an extreme vibration environment. After a period of vibration, the connection between the plug and socket will gradually wear out, and the pin will sag at the connection point, reducing the reliability. Moreover, after such wear, if exposed to steam environment, corrosion will be further caused.
Severe environment 2: Electromagnetic interference
Serious electromagnetic interference sources usually include production equipment and power channels near several channels. The machine and the electrical path generate electric fields, which can be coupled into the digital path to cause noise and destroy the integrity of the digital signal.
Severe environment 3: Extreme temperature
The current industrial connectors can generally withstand a temperature difference of - 10 ℃ to 60 ℃, which is no problem for most office and general industrial environments. However, if placed in an extremely harsh temperature environment, the temperature beyond the range will lead to transmission errors and reliability problems.
Severe environment 4: Corrosive materials
Corrosive gases and liquids are often encountered in industrial environments. Such as oil, gas and chemicals can erode the external connector covers, the metal feet of plugs and sockets, cable jackets, etc.
The connectors mentioned above are industrial connectors without special treatment. There are also some industrial connectors that are prepared for harsh environment at the beginning of design. Of course, those industrial connectors are another matter, but their cost and use cost will certainly be much higher than that of ordinary industrial connectors.
