What factors are associated with M12 connector corrosion

In the industrial field, M12 connectors are used very frequently. When we put the M12 connector in a humid environment, the M12 connector will be corroded after a long time, and the product performance will appear accordingly after corrosion. Problems. In particularly harsh environments, the connection pins in the M12 connector socket may even rot, which is unacceptable to customers. So what are the factors related to M12 connector corrosion? 

1. Vibration Standard M12 connectors react when placed in environments with extreme vibration. Over time, the plug to socket connection wears out and the pins become recessed at the connection point, reducing reliability. In addition, after this wear, exposure to vapour can lead to further corrosion;

2, electromagnetic interference serious sources of electromagnetic interference usually include production equipment and power paths adjacent to the channel. Machines and electrical paths generate electric fields that can couple into the path, resulting in noise and undermining signal integrity;

3, extreme temperatures M12 connectors can generally withstand temperature differences of -10 to 60 degrees, which is fine for most office and general industrial environments. However, if placed in an environment with extremely harsh temperatures, out-of-range temperatures can lead to mismanagement and reliability issues;

4, corrosive substances are often encountered in industrial environments with corrosive gases and liquids. Substances such as oil, gas and chemicals can corrode the outer cover of the M12 connector, the metal feet of plugs and sockets, cable jackets, etc.
