Use Of Heavy-duty Connectors In Atmospheric Pressure And Corrosive Environments

Air Pressure

In high-altitude areas where the air is thin, the gases emitted by the plastic can contaminate the heavy duty cable connectors contact pair, increase the corona discharge tendency of heavy power connector, reduce the withstand voltage, and cause a short circuit. When the altitude reaches a certain value, the performance of the heavy duty wire connectors deteriorates. Therefore, when using unsealed wire connector heavy duty in high-altitude areas, its performance must be reduced.

Corrosive Environments

Depending on the different corrosive environments of heavy duty electric cable connectors, select the appropriate metal, plastic, or electroplated structure for heavy duty automotive electrical connectors, such as heavy duty 12v connectors used in salt spray environments. Without a corrosion-resistant metal surface, performance will deteriorate rapidly. In environments containing high levels of SO2, heavy-duty connectors with silver-plated contact pairs are not recommended. Mold is also a major problem in damp and hot weather.
