The mechanical performance of electronic connectors is very critical, which directly affects the life quality of electronic connectors. In order to let everyone further understand the mechanical performance knowledge of electronic connectors, this article St. Peter connector engineers mainly introduce the electronic connector machinery. The definition of performance, I hope everyone can learn more about connectors.

The mechanical performance of the electronic connector mainly refers to the insertion force, the number of times of unplugging, and whether it supports hot plugging. Insertion and extraction force can be divided into insertion force and extraction force. When inserting operation, it directly contacts the internal structure of the connector. Therefore, the force and the maximum number of contacts will affect the reliability of the contact. If the reliability is reduced, the connector The performance will therefore be reduced.

The number of insertions of the connector slightly reflects how long the connector can be placed, which is related to the quality of the contact parts, especially the quality of the coating on the connector surface. Generally speaking, the outer layer of the connector is coated with the most stable gold. The thicker the gold layer, the more times it supports insertion. Therefore, many connector manufacturers start from this key point to improve the life and quality of their connectors. Whether to support hot plugging is also an important mechanical performance, because different types of connectors have different requirements and performance.
