Introduction to Industrial Connectors

2025-12-10

The specific function of industrial connectors is to have good waterproof, dustproof, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, as well as the functions of impact resistance and shock resistance. The reliability and robustness of industrial equipment depend on the inevitable collisions that occur during industrial production.

How many connection forms can industrial electronic connectors be divided into? It can generally be divided into four forms.

① Threaded connection method (threaded connector)

A connection form commonly used by some electrical connectors with larger contact sizes and working in strong vibration environments. This connection form can be equipped with a fuse to prevent loosening after the connection is completed. This connection form is reliable, but the connection and disconnection speed is slow.

② Bayonet connection method (industrial bayonet connector)

It is a reliable and fast form of connection and separation. Most types of snap on connectors have intuitive displays of correct connection and locking, which can be observed through the small holes on the side of the connector nut.

③ Plug and unplug connection method

It is a versatile form of connection. The direction of movement of the plug and socket of an electrical connector during connection and disconnection is usually a reciprocating linear motion, without the need for twisting or rotation, and only requires a small working space to complete the connection and disconnection. There are two common types of plug-in connections: ball or pin structures. This connection form lacks a mechanical labor-saving mechanism, and once mistakenly inserted, the mechanical resistance increases significantly, which can be detected in a timely manner.

④ Cabinet connection method

It is used for electrical connectors on devices that need to be blindly connected near the frame, which can make electrical equipment lighter, smaller, easier to maintain, and more reliable. This connection form makes it impossible for the operator to feel the connection, and an accurate positioning device must be designed to avoid forcibly connecting the mistakenly inserted electrical connectors together, making it impossible to insert them incorrectly. Cabinet style electrical connectors typically adopt a floating or elastic contact design structure to ensure their correct connection.
