The Impact Of Material Selection On Application Scenarios For Push-button Terminal Connectors

When designing push in wire terminal block, the specific material selection depends on the end-use environment and the mechanical and electrical performance requirements. The internal conductive components of push fit terminal block connector typically use copper substrates, such as brass, phosphor bronze, or copper. These copper alloys offer different levels of conductivity and mechanical properties to adapt to diverse current-carrying conditions and insertion/removal cycles.

Common electroplating layers on the surface of push connector block include tin, nickel, silver, and gold. These different plating layers affect connection reliability and oxidation resistance by altering the chemical and electrical properties of the electrical contact surface. For example, silver plating often provides the possibility of improved contact stability for high-performance terminals, while gold plating is used in highly corrosion-resistant applications.
