Aviation plug is a kind of connector, originating from the military industry, hence the name, referred to as aviation plug. The aviation plug is an electromechanical component that connects electrical lines, so its own electrical parameters are the first issues to be considered when choosing an aviation plug. Correct selection and use of aviation plugs is an important aspect of ensuring circuit reliability.
Aviation plugs can also be called plug sockets, which are widely used in various electrical circuits and play the role of connecting or disconnecting circuits. Improving the reliability of aviation plugs is first and foremost the responsibility of the
manufacturer. However, due to the wide variety of aviation plugs and a wide range of applications, the correct selection of aviation plugs is also an important aspect to improve the reliability of aviation plugs. Only through the joint efforts of
both the manufacturer and the user can the functions of the aviation plug be maximized.
Aviation plugs have different classification methods. According to the frequency, there are high-frequency aviation plugs and low-frequency aviation plugs; according to the shape, there are circular connectors, and according to the purpose:
aviation plugs for cabinets, aviation plugs for audio equipment, power aviation plugs, special-purpose aviation plugs, etc. The following mainly discusses the selection method of low-frequency aviation plugs (frequency below 3MHZ).
Selection method of aviation plug terminals Connectors are electromechanical components that connect electrical circuits, so the electrical parameters of the connector itself are the first issues to be considered when choosing a connector.
Correct selection and use of electrical connectors is an important aspect of ensuring circuit reliability.
Requirements for electrical parameters: Connectors are electromechanical components that connect electrical circuits. Therefore, the electrical parameters of the connector itself are the first issues to be considered when choosing a connector.
2. Rated voltage and current: With the same withstand voltage index of aviation plug, different maximum working voltages can be used according to different use environments and safety requirements. To limit the rated current, in
fact, limit the temperature rise inside the electrical connector not to exceed the specified value of the design. The problem to pay attention to when choosing is: For multi-core electrical connectors, the rated current must be
derated.
3. Installation method and shape: the shape of the aviation plug terminal is ever-changing, the user is mainly from the straight, curved, outer diameter of the wire or cable and the fixing requirements with the shell, volume, weight, whether to
connect metal hoses, etc. To be selected, the electrical connectors used on the panel should also be selected from the aspects of appearance, shape, color and so on.
