Factors affecting terminal retention force
Terminal retention, the force of close contact between the terminal and the socket or pad, is a key indicator of connector performance. There are many influencing factors, including terminal structure design, material selection, surface treatment, installation and maintenance methods, and usage environment.
KR1507 Series Clik Mate Connector Terminal
The terminal structure design directly affects the retention force. Reasonable designs of pressure plates, springs, etc. can provide stable clamping force to ensure that the terminal does not loosen in the sheath. In terms of materials, high-quality materials can resist deformation and wear during long-term use and maintain stable terminal performance. Surface treatment such as oxidation degree and roughness affect the friction between the terminal and the socket, and thus affect the tightness of the connection. Correct installation methods and regular maintenance inspections can ensure that the terminals are well fixed to avoid loosening or damage. In addition, the use environment such as humidity, temperature, corrosive gases, etc. may also have an adverse effect on the terminal retention force.
Strategies for Optimizing Terminal Retention
To improve terminal retention, the following strategies can be adopted:
- Improve the terminal structure design, such as optimizing the pressure plate and spring design to enhance the clamping force.
- Select high-quality materials to ensure that the terminals have sufficient elasticity and hardness to resist deformation and wear during long-term use.
- Strengthen the terminal surface treatment process, improve the surface roughness and friction, and enhance the connection tightness.
- Install strictly according to the specifications to ensure that the terminals are well fixed to avoid loosening.
- Provide a suitable use environment to prevent terminals from being exposed to harsh environments and extend their service life.
