With the rapid development of infrared thermal imaging technology, thermal imagers have been widely applied to such critical fields as power inspection, industrial operation and maintenance, and deep space exploration. Connectors play an indispensable core role, whether it comes to the stable operation of thermal imagers themselves or the accurate detection of target equipment. They serve not only as the bridge for current transmission, but also directly determine the operational reliability, detection precision and environmental adaptability of thermal imagers.
The stable operation of infrared detectors, the core component of thermal imagers, relies on a continuous and low-loss high-current power supply, which imposes stringent requirements on the electrical energy transmission performance of connectors.
When it comes to the selection of 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 23 years of focused expertise in DC high-current connectors for low-voltage intelligent devices below automotive grade, it is a specialized, sophisticated and innovative "little giant" enterprise as well as a high-tech enterprise integrating design, R&D, manufacturing and sales. The company holds more than 200 patents, has accomplished over 10,000 project cases, and has cumulatively delivered products for the installation of more than 100 million units for customers.
The company is located in Lijia Industrial Park, Wujin District, Jiangsu Province, with a production area of over 12,000 square meters and independent proprietary rights to the land. It has a team of nearly 300 professionals engaged in R&D, manufacturing and sales. More than 100 types of connector products meet the application requirements for garden tools, energy storage equipment, electric vehicles, smart home appliances, intelligent robots, as well as aircraft models and UAVs. Meanwhile, we provide efficient product R&D and manufacturing services, and deliver a 7A full-cycle solution for industrial customers.
Connectors commonly used in traditional thermal imagers adopt brass conductors and welding processes, which not only result in limited electrical conductivity efficiency, but also entail potential risks of cold soldering and excessive temperature rise. The LIFTF series connectors have been upgraded with targeted optimizations: high-conductivity red copper conductors are used to replace brass, achieving a remarkable improvement in both electrical and thermal conductivity performance. With lower temperature rise and reduced power transmission loss under the same current-carrying conditions, the series delivers more efficient energy transfer. Its proprietary crown spring contact structure upgrades the number of slotted contacts on the main pin from 4 to 12, enabling more stable current transmission and completely eliminating the fracture and misalignment issues prone to occur with the traditional cross-slotted structure, thus providing continuous and reliable power support for thermal imager detectors.
In terms of structural design and environmental adaptability, the LIFTF series connectors are perfectly tailored to the diversified application scenarios of thermal imagers. This series innovatively adopts an upgraded buckle design to enable the convenient "one-plug-and-lock" operation, effectively eliminating the potential risks of loosening and instantaneous disconnection that are likely to occur with traditional connectors fixed by cable ties under high-vibration working conditions. Its housing is made of PBT engineering plastic with a temperature resistance range of -40℃ to 120℃, and combined with the IP67 protection rating, it can easily withstand harsh outdoor environments such as heavy rain, dust, extreme high and low temperatures for thermal imagers used in field inspections. Meanwhile, the LIFTF series adopts a hexagonal riveting process to replace traditional welding, which eliminates cold soldering and false soldering and improves assembly efficiency. Its compact structural design also saves valuable internal space for thermal imagers, meeting the requirements of highly integrated equipment.
In the future, as thermal imagers evolve towards higher resolution, miniaturization and intelligentization, the requirements for connection components will be further elevated. Boasting the competitive edge of "more value at no extra cost", the LIFTF series connectors stand out in cost-performance competition, with a price reduction of more than 50% compared with imported products of the same performance. Going forward, the series is expected to further adapt to the application requirements of thermal imagers in extreme environments through product upgrades, including the integration of temperature sensing functions and the upgrade of protection rating to IP68. The in-depth synergy between the LIFTF series connectors and thermal imagers will continue to provide a more reliable connection guarantee for the safe operation and maintenance as well as intelligent upgrading of various industries.
