In various types of circuits, the most vulnerable to corrosion hazards are male and female connectors. Corroded male and female connectors will shorten the service life and lead to circuit failure. So under what circumstances will the male and female connectors be corroded, and what are the main factors?
1. the corrosion problem of male and female connectors is usually caused by oxidation or galvanized
When the metal of the male and female connectors combines with oxygen in the atmosphere to form metal oxides, oxidation occurs. Since most oxides are not good electrical conductors, the oxide coating will limit the flow of current, which is damaged by electrical corrosion by the environmental impact, therefore, we should observe the specific situation of the male and female connectors in time, and replace them immediately when they are found to be excessively oxidized to ensure the safety of the machine.
2. Electric corrosion
In harsh environments, the main reason for the failure of male and female connectors is electrical corrosion. In the reaction of an electric current, different metals release or collect electrons in the presence of an electrolyte. The ions formed by electron transfer slowly leach out of the material and dissolve it.
3. Corrosion of water and liquid
Although many male and female connectors are designed for harsh environments, corrosion often shortens their service life. Gaps and other leakage paths in wires, insulation, plastic housings and pins can easily be immersed in water and other liquids, accelerating corrosion of male and female connectors.
4.Other reasons
The lubricants and coolants that keep automated assembly lines running corrode the plastic insulation. Similarly, vapors and corrosive chemicals used to flush some food processing equipment can seriously disrupt connector continuity.
It can be seen that corrosion not only has serious damage to the connector, but even affects the use of smart devices. To prevent the degree of corrosion of male and female connectors, in addition to daily protection and timely replacement, it is also necessary to choose a higher protection level of male and female connectors. The higher the protection level, the better its anti-liquid and anti-dust effect, and the more favorable it is for the use of smart devices.
Amass LC series male and female connectors IP65 protection grade, effectively prevent the intrusion of liquid, dust and other foreign bodies, and in line with the 48-hour salt spray test standard, copper surface gold-plated layer, can effectively reduce corrosion, and riveted structural design, prevent the plug to break, effectively enhance the service life of male and female connectors.
