How to Choose the Correct Shrapnel Connector?
Definition of Shrapnel Connector
The shrapnel connector is an electronic component that is often used to connect electricity in our various life scenes. They are mainly used for power or signal transmission, and are also known as socket plugs and connectors in China. A connector usually consists of an external connector and an internal terminal. Connectors are generally insulators, such as plastic materials. They are divided into male ends and female ends, which play the role of connection and fixation. Terminals are conductors that transmit signals or power supplies. Many are plated, such as tin, gold/silver etc. It acts as a conduit.
Classification of Shrapnel Terminal Connector
As the connecting device of electrical appliances, the shrapnel connector has become an essential part of electronic equipment. However, according to the use of different scenarios and different application objects, the shrapnel terminal connector is also divided into many styles and types. So what are the types of shrapnel connectors?
In fact, there is no fixed classification of shrapnel connectors. It is generally classified according to the application, shape, structure and performance!
In terms of application, connectors are divided into mobile phone connector, power connector, high voltage connector, automotive connector, aviation connector, high-speed signal connector, optical fiber connector, etc.
In terms of shape, the connectors are divided into four types: circular connectors, rectangular connectors, bar connectors and D-type connectors. Among them, circular connectors and rectangular connectors are the most common!
In terms of structure, connectors can be divided into: thread connector, straight plug connector, card lock connector, push-pull connector and bayonet connector and other types!
Selection Requirements for Shrapnel Connector Materials
The properties of shrapnel connector materials are closely related to stamping production. Material properties directly affect stamping process design, workpiece quality and product service life, as well as production efficiency and production costs.
When selecting the material of the shrapnel connector, we should not only consider the performance, but also the performance requirements of stamping and subsequent processing.
For the molding process, such as bending, convex hull, etc., the material should have good stamping molding performance. That is, it should have good resistance to rupture and shape, otherwise the product is prone to deformation and rupture, which will result in difficulties in mold repair. For the separation process, the material is required to have a certain plasticity.
The surface of the material should be smooth and free of defects and damage. The material with good surface quality is not easy to break during molding, not easy to scratch the mold, and the surface quality of the part is also good.
Because a certain mold clearance is only applicable to a certain thickness range of materials. If the material thickness tolerance is too large, it will not only directly affect the quality of the parts, but also may lead to the appearance of scrap. In the process of correcting bending and shaping, it may cause damage to the mold or punch due to excessive thickness deviation.
