Test the plug force to not affect the service life of the product

Time:2020-06-18

duction and manufacture of a connector, and the insertion force test is one of the more important links. The number of insertion and extraction forces of a connector product directly determines the service life of the product, so the insertion and extraction force test process must not be sloppy. The following experts will give you a detailed introduction to the connector plug-in force test process


Experts pointed out that the connector plug-in force test process mainly starts from four aspects: test purpose, test preparation, test method, and test precautions. The specific content is as follows:


  一.Purpose of insertion force test


       The purpose of the plug-in force test of electronic connectors is to specify a standard method for measuring the plug-in force required between the electronic connectors or the plug-in force required between the protective cover and the connector.


   2. Preparation before insertion force test


   During the test, the test sample is composed of a plug and an accessible end socket. The sample must match, unless otherwise specified. The sample should be composed of all available hardware including rubber cores, terminals, iron shells, protective covers, screws or guide pieces. The auxiliary clamps and fixtures used should be prepared before testing.


   3. Insertion force test method


  The insertion force test is to place two matable electronic connectors in the initial position of the mechanical mating, and the readings of the force gauge and the torque gauge are zero. Fully insert the connector at a progressive force rate as specified in the specification, and record the peak insertion force. The pull-out force test is to fully pull out the mating connector at a gradual force rate according to the specifications, and record the pull-out force value.


  4. Precautions for insertion force test


  During the test, the dial of the tension meter should be placed in the appropriate position of the connector so that the reading pointer is located in the middle of the gauge. Such an operation gauge can be accurate to ±2%. Unless otherwise stated in the specifications, the samples do not require any method of lubrication or cleaning.
