The reason why the connector is excellent in hard wiring

图片
When designing and manufacturing industrial machinery and consumer devices, you will be faced with the option of "hard-wired" the cable point-to-point into the system or use a "plug-and-play" connector. In the long run, connector-based wiring is more practical and economical than hard wiring, so the connector is superior to the hard-wired five main reasons. ​ Connectors save time and cost more than hard wiring Most industrial equipment contains a large number of wires between its components and subsystems. When an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) makes a product, it is usually assembled in the factory before shipment, and then the system is disassembled and disconnected. And shipped to the end user, reassembled here. If you need to hardwire all the cables into the system, then remove them and rewire them in the field, this can be a very time consuming task. The pre-assembled connectors ensure that the cables are directly connected to the connectors, ma...

How is the cable connected to the connector

图片
Welding: The solder joints are required to be smooth, which need without solder build-up, firm and reliable, and also cannot be poor welding. Poor welding can easily lead to cable assembly failure. There is no good way to detect poor welding currently and can only be guaranteed from a strict process. If the cable core is thin, it should be tinned on the cable core and soldered to the inner conductor of the connector. If the cable core is thicker, more solder is needed for soldering. First, fill the appropriate amount of solder in the wire hole of the inner conductor of the connector, and then heat it with a soldering iron. When the solder melts, insert the inner conductor of the cable into the hole and rotate it left and right or repeatedly insert and remove the inner conductor of the cable so that the inner conductor of the cable is in full contact with the solder in the inner conductor of the connector to ensure reliable soldering and no poor welding. If there is excess solder, it c...

What to pay attention to when crimping connectors
