Classification and characteristics of aviation connectors

In modern life, aviation plug can be said to be one of the essential electronic components, the market demand is large, but also favored by various manufacturers of customers. And when it comes to the specifications and models of aviation connectors, there are really a lot of them and a wide range of applications. Today, let’s talk about the classification and characteristics of aviation connectors.

One, classification of specifications of aviation connectors

First of all, according to the shape of aviation connectors, although the shape of aviation connectors varies, we classify them from straight, bend, and the outer diameter, volume and weight of cables or wires, as well as the need to connect metal hoses. In addition, the connector used on the panel is mainly selected from its color and aesthetic aspects.

Secondly, according to the frequency of aviation connectors, there are high frequency connectors and low frequency connectors, which can be divided into aviation connectors for cabinet, aviation connectors for power supply, aviation connectors for audio equipment and aviation plugs for special purposes. According to the shape, it can be divided into circular connectors

Aviation connectors can be assembled interchangeably. When we are using them, if they need long-term power supply, then we can choose the connectors with sockets for higher security.

Two, about the characteristics of aviation connectors

1. Contact resistance of aviation connectors High-quality electrical connectors should have low and stable contact resistance. The contact resistance of the connector varies from a few milliohms to tens of milliohms.

The electrical strength of the aviation connector is the ability to withstand the rated test voltage between the contactor and the shell and between the connector contactor. Because the surface of the aviation connector is a metal layer, it may produce electrochemical corrosion when it is used, which will damage the electrical and physical properties of the connector.

3. There are some details that need to be paid attention to in the use of aviation connectors: if an electronic component fails, the failed component should be quickly replaced when fitted with connectors. The use of connectors gives engineers greater flexibility in designing and integrating new products, and in building systems from components.
