Reliability, durability and optimum performance are critical when selecting the appropriate connector for industrial applications. KONNRA Connectors is committed to providing high quality connectors to our customers worldwide. Below are tips to help you select the appropriate industrial connector, focusing on the importance of IP rating, ruggedness and other key attributes.
Ⅰ. Importance of IP rating for industrial connectors
The Ingress Protection (IP) indicates the level of protection against dust and water. For industrial applications, a high IP rating is critical. For example, an IP67 rating indicates that a connector is dustproof and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 metre deep for 30 minutes. Higher ratings, such as IP68 and IP69, provide better protection for circuits in more demanding conditions.
Ⅱ. Key attributes to consider for industrial connectors
- Compact and durable: choose connectors that save space and don’t compromise on durability.
- Waterproof: Ensure connectors are waterproof, which is critical for outdoor or washdown environments.
- Vibration-proof: Choose vibration-proof connectors to withstand vibrations and mechanical shocks.
- Extreme temperature resistance: Choose connectors that can operate in extreme high and low temperatures.
- High Pressure Resistance: Ensure that the connector can operate under high pressure conditions, such as in hydraulic systems or underwater equipment.
Ⅲ. Typical industrial connector application scenarios
- Industrial Drivers: maintain signal integrity to prevent interruption of motor performance.
- Power: Support high currents and voltages with rugged, high-quality connectors.
- Public transport: withstand constant vibration and shock with vibration-resistant connectors.
- Medical equipment: Ensure connectors provide low signal loss and high fidelity for critical data transmission.
- Modern communication systems: Choose connectors that support high data rates and can withstand repeated use.
Ⅳ. Recommend
The KR4200 4.2mm pitch wire-to-board connectors are designed for blind mating applications. These connectors allow for mating mismatches. In hard to reach applications such as drawers, fans and computer components, the (lower mating and unplugging force) terminals are designed for applications where lower bonding and disconnecting forces are required or where devices are frequently mated and unplugged.
Ⅴ. Ensuring industrial connector quality and reliability
KONNRA connectors are rigorously tested and certified to ensure their integrity and durability. As a high-tech enterprise with ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO13485, IPC620, IATF16949, UL certifications and 50+ patents, KONNRA connectors comply with strict quality standards to ensure that they provide reliable and high-performance industrial connectors for industrial applications. KONNRA connectors meet the diversified needs of industrial applications with high-quality products and professional services, and have won the trust and support of customers.
