What should I pay attention to when designing a connector

First,  understanding the functional requirements of the connector

It is especially important for connector suppliers to fully understand the needs of their customers and to make the right connectors for their customers.

Second, considering the stability of the connector

First, focusing on the stability of the connector, and some factors may lead to increased costs. Because damaged industrial connectors require reconfiguration, refurbishment, and marking, and such changes may allow the connector to be redesigned for another one to two weeks.

Third, understanding the size of the connector space

Although miniature board-to-board connectors are typically less than 1 mm thick, they are also commonly used in tightly packed applications. To solve potential packaging problems, designers need to consider the traces on the PCB and the additional wires attached to the connectors.

Fourth, considering the design stage of the connector

If you focus too much on designing the overall system and put the industrial connectors into the final stages of design, some issues may cause designers to choose non-standard connectors to complete the design, which not only raises costs but also delays delivery time.

Fifth, clearing the current load capacity of the connector

As the size of the connector is miniaturized, the current load capacity of the connector is also reduced. The general micro connector can handle currents between 200mA and 500mA, which is basically a larger board-to-board connector rated current. In half, it is recommended to increase the number of connector terminals to compensate for the effects of low current carrying capa city of the connector.

It is recommended to increase the number of connector terminals to compensate for the effects of low current carrying capacity of the connector.

sixth, Considering the mechanical stress of the connector

Temperature, shock, and vibration create stress between the connector interface and the circuit of the device, and these mechanical stresses can affect the use of the connector. It is recommended to use an interconnect system to minimize the build-up stress between the mounting structure and the connection points.

In fact, many times we want the connectors we buy to be of high quality, but if we don't choose the manufacturer carefully, it is easy to buy inferior connectors. Yahui Electronics Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of custom connector cables. We mainly provide customized services. Because we have a professional technical team, we can develop and open various types of connectors ourselves. Our hot products are obd connectors, circular connectors and heavy-duty connectors, etc. If you have any needs, you can contact us and look forward to your message.
