In winter snow removal operations, snow blowers, as core equipment, are required to operate continuously under harsh conditions such as ultra-low temperatures of -40℃, high-frequency vibrations, and infiltration of ice, snow and dust. The stability of their power transmission and signal interaction directly determines snow removal efficiency and operational safety. Traditional connectors are prone to seal cracking and plugging/unplugging jamming in low-temperature environments; moreover, they struggle to withstand the sustained vibrations generated by the high-speed rotation of snow blower augers, which often leads to potential risks including power interruptions and equipment malfunctions.
When it comes to selecting dedicated connectors, choosing the right manufacturer and brand is of paramount importance! Changzhou Amass Electronics Co., Ltd., the original inventor of the XT series, was founded in 2002. With 24 years of focused expertise in DC high-current connectors for low-voltage intelligent devices below automotive grade, it is a national "Little Giant" firm of specialized, sophisticated, differential and innovative SMEs as well as a high-tech enterprise, integrating design, R&D, manufacturing and sales into one complete ecosystem. The company holds more than 200 patents, boasts over 10,000 project cases, and has provided a cumulative installed base of over 100 million units for customers worldwide.
The company is located in Lijia Industrial Park, Wujin District, Jiangsu Province, with a production area of over 30,000 square meters and independent ownership of the land property rights. Backed by a team of nearly 300 professionals spanning R&D, manufacturing and sales, we offer more than 100 types of connector products, which are tailored to meet the application needs of garden tools, energy storage equipment, electric vehicles, smart home appliances, intelligent robots, as well as RC models and drones. Meanwhile, we provide efficient product R&D and manufacturing services, delivering a 7A full-cycle solution for industry clients.
Amass's LIFTF series connectors, armed with targeted technical upgrades, precisely match the operating requirements of snow blowers, forging a core connection barrier to ensure their reliable operation in extreme environments.
Low-temperature Resistant Design Breaks Through the Adaptation Bottleneck in Extreme Cold Environments
The low-temperature conditions in northern winters and high-latitude regions pose a core challenge for snow blower connectors, where traditional plastic housings are prone to brittle cracking and sealing rings tend to fail. The LIFTF series adopts PBT (polybutylene terephthalate), a low-temperature resistant engineering plastic, enabling stable operation across a wide temperature range of -40℃ to 120℃. Even in extreme cold weather, it maintains excellent housing toughness and intact sealing performance, completely resolving the industry pain point of low-temperature failure that plagues conventional connectors.
Anti-Vibration and Anti-Loosening Structure Ensures Stable Connection Under High-Frequency Vibrations
During snow blower operations, the high-speed rotation of the auger generates sustained high-frequency vibrations, which tend to cause loosening and momentary disconnection of conventional connectors. The LIFTF series innovatively adopts an upgraded "one-plug-and-lock" buckle structure: the male and female ends lock automatically upon mating, effectively distributing external vibration forces. Combined with a push-type slot unlocking mechanism, it not only guarantees connection reliability in wide-frequency vibration environments but also simplifies the plugging and unplugging process for subsequent maintenance, thus ensuring continuous and efficient snow removal operations.
IP67 High Protection Grade Resists Multi-medium Intrusion
During snow blower operations, exposure to splashing ice and snow, snow-melting agent corrosion, and dust adhesion is inevitable, which often causes short-circuit faults in conventional connectors due to water and dust ingress. The LIFTF series achieves IP67 protection rating by forming a sealed chamber with dual rubber sealing rings and buckle locking. It can effectively block the intrusion of ice, snow and dust as well as liquid splashes, and even withstand short-term submersion tests. Meanwhile, its contacts are treated with hard chrome plating, featuring excellent corrosion resistance that can resist salt erosion from snow-melting agents, significantly extending the service life in harsh environments.
High Current-Carrying Capacity Matches Power Transmission Requirements
When a snow blower starts up, clears thick snow, or breaks compacted ice, it requires instantaneous large currents to drive the auger and traveling system. Conventional connectors are prone to excessive temperature rise due to poor contact. The LIFTF series adopts an automotive-grade crown spring contact structure, upgrading the number of slotted contacts on the main rod from 4 to 12, which triples the contact area. Combined with high-conductivity oxygen-free copper conductors, it not only meets the rated large current transmission requirements of 20A–50A but also ensures a temperature rise of less than 30K under 4-hour continuous operation and a power transmission loss of less than 2%. This guarantees stable and continuous power output, enhancing snow removal efficiency.
Against the backdrop of growing snow removal demands driven by the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, the reliability requirements for core components of snow blowers have become increasingly stringent. Through targeted technological innovations in low-temperature resistance, vibration resistance, and high protection performance, the LIFTF series connectors have precisely addressed the connection pain points of snow blowers under complex operating conditions. They have not only achieved a leap from "functional usability" to "superior reliability" but also provided a robust connection solution with high cost-effectiveness, empowering the high-quality development of winter snow removal equipment.
