How To Judge The Quality Of The Waterproof Connector?

When purchasing a waterproof connector, users need to compare the quality of the waterproof connector first, in addition to the waterproof grade, shell quality, manufacturing process, size structure, connection performance, price, shipping speed, etc. are the issues that the user needs to consider This article lists the criteria for judging the quality of waterproof connectors, and hopes that users have a preliminary understanding of waterproof connectors.

When purchasing waterproof connectors, we first focus on the waterproof performance of the product, which is generally determined by three aspects:

1. Size structure: The waterproof rating of the waterproof connector is generally IP68/IP67/IP66/IP65 (users who do not understand this can view the article: What is the difference between the IP65, IP67, and IP68 waterproof ratings?). In general, the smaller the size of the product, the more difficult it is to meet the requirements for waterproofing and connection, and the waterproofing level is slightly lower. In terms of structure, it should be observed whether the location of the vulnerable parts and the waterproof position are reasonable. For example, the silicone gasket should not be too exposed to prevent the corrosion of ultraviolet rays from affecting performance and life.

2. Shell material: the shell material should choose the material with strong toughness, temperature resistance, flame retardant and anti-corrosion, such as PA66; the wire material should choose the material with strong flexibility, flame retardant, wear and corrosion resistance, such as PVC or rubber.

3. Production process: The product should be comfortable and textured, not too slippery or too rough, and workmanship should not have burrs. When connecting the joint, it should feel natural and not slippery. Users can evaluate the manufacturer's manufacturing process and strength through field visits or samples.

In addition to waterproofing, the waterproof connector's connection function is also important:

1. Pins: The pins of a good waterproof connector are generally solid copper. The pins will be gold-plated or nickel-plated to increase the performance of conduction. Users should keep their eyes open when purchasing to prevent unscrupulous manufacturers from using hollow copper pins to recharge.

2. Copper wire: The material of the copper wire is generally pure copper copper wire. Now the powerful manufacturers will handle the wire by themselves, control the cost and ensure the quality.
