What is the best way to choose a DC power connector for a drone?

In recent years, the field of consumer-grade drones has been developing rapidly, and drones have been seen everywhere in life and entertainment. And the industrial-grade drone market, which has richer and larger usage scenarios, has risen.

Perhaps the first scene of many people’s use of drones is still aerial photography. But now, in agriculture, plant protection and animal protection, disaster rescue, surveying and mapping, electric power inspection, disaster relief and so on. In some of the scene where personnel can not safely approach, the advantages of the drone are unique, and it is a good supplement to ground transportation in special environments.

In recent years, drones have played an important role in the epidemic, such as shouting in the air, air disinfection, material delivery, traffic guidance, etc., which has brought a lot of convenience to the epidemic prevention work.

UAV is a self-powered controllable unmanned aerial vehicle. The entire UAV system mainly consists of the aircraft fuselage, the flight control system, the data chain system, the launch and recovery system, the power supply system and other parts. Thanks to this highly synergistic and complex system, the UAV can fly stably and safely. And it can perform tasks such as load-bearing, long-distance flight, information collection, data transmission, and so on.

Compared with the aerial photography of a class of consumer-grade UAVs, plant protection, rescue, inspection and other types of industrial-grade UAVs are more focused on the quality of the UAV, functionality, environmental resistance and other requirements.

Similarly, the requirements for DC power connectors inside the drone are higher.

The normal flight of the UAV cannot be separated from various sensors, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetic compasses and barometric pressure sensors, etc. The collected signals are transmitted to the PLC device of the body through the signal connector, and then back to the flight control system through the radio transmission technology, and the flight control system then carries out the real-time control of the UAV’s flight status. The onboard battery of the UAV provides power support for the motor of the UAV’s power unit, which requires the connection of a DC power connector.

So how to choose a DC power connector for a drone? Below as a veteran modeling drone DC power connector experts, Amass bring you a detailed understanding of the DC power connector selection points of attention:

In order to meet the needs of long-term usage benefits and multiple application environments, UAVs must utilize high-performance DC power connectors to increase operating life, reduce installation and maintenance costs, and enhance reliability and safety. High current connectors undoubtedly provide hardware support for the realization of the technology, which needs to meet the requirements of small size and precision, stable performance and harsh environmental specifications of UAVs.

As a very complex high-tech product, various high-tech and high-quality hardware products are applied to UAVs. As an important accessory of UAV, the reliability and safety of the connector is one of the keys to the normal flight of UAV. Amax LC series lithium-ion connectors for smart devices have the advantages of high performance and high adaptability, which are the high-quality choices for UAV system accessories.

LC series DC power connector current covers 10-300A, to meet the needs of DC power connectors for different power drones. The conductor adopts purple copper conductor, which makes the current conduction more stable; the snap-on design is strong against vibration, which provides a strong umbrella of protection for the outdoor flight of drones!

This series of products are equipped with single PIN, dual PIN, triple PIN, hybrid and other polarity options; in consideration of the UAV reserved DC power connector space size varies, this series is equipped with wire/board vertical/board horizontal and other installation applications!
There are three kinds of functional DC power connectors: anti-ignition, waterproof, and general models to choose from!
