What Are the Important Factors That Affect the Reliability of Connector Plugins?

A connector is a positioning joint used to connect electronic circuits, also known as a connector or plug-in component. It represents a specialized field within electronic components and typically consists of a plug and socket.

Connectors are indispensable components in electronic devices, serving as the bridge for transmitting electric current or signals. Reliability is a crucial performance factor for connectors.

Jintian Copper, stands as a global leader in advanced material manufacturing, dedicating over thirty years to the research and production of copper processing materials, contributing to the upgrading of the intelligent connectivity collaborative industry.

Factors such as increased contact resistance, open circuits, heightened insertion and withdrawal forces, decreased lifespan, short circuits, reduced insulation resistance, and increased voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) are significant contributors to the reliability of connectors.

So, how can we avoid these issues?

• Addressing Increased Contact Resistance: Choose elastic materials with high strength and stress resistance to mitigate contact resistance. Opt for highly conductive, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant electroplated metal materials. Ensure precise positioning of pins and sockets, adhere to standardized usage practices, and avoid forceful insertions and withdrawals.

  
  

• Tackling Open Circuit Issues: Select pins with excellent mechanical properties that resist bending and deformation. Improve the precision of bases, pins, and sockets, enhancing concentricity. Use appropriate crimping tools to avoid open circuit problems.

  
  

• Dealing with Short Circuits and Reduced Insulation Resistance: Choose insulation materials with resistance to environmental stress, excellent moisture resistance, superior dielectric properties, and good processing characteristics. Implement clean production practices and continually improve grinding tools and processing methods to ensure standard usage.Jintian Copper produces copper strips with a stress relaxation rate below 20%, ensuring stable and reliable electrical contacts and enhancing plug life. The low surface roughness (below 0.12 micrometers) guarantees excellent electroplating performance, improving the lifespan and efficiency of high-speed stamping molds.

• Managing Increased Insertion and Withdrawal Forces, Decreased Lifespan: Opt for stable, rigid, and high-strength base materials. Use corrosion-resistant high-quality coating materials to enhance precision and concentricity of bases, pins, and sockets.

• Addressing Increased Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR): Choose stable materials for the dielectric between inner and outer conductors. Reinforce cable joints, ensuring proper alignment of male and female contact components during insertions and paying attention to the size coordination of contacts.

• Jintian Copper's copper rod products have tolerances below 0.015mm, ensuring consistency and excellent electroplating performance, meeting customer requirements without additional processing. The copper chips generated during turning are less than 2 square millimeters, enhancing customer processing efficiency and reducing equipment maintenance costs.
