What should be considered when we choose terminals connectors? Many companies workers believe that the appearance of terminals connectors play an important role in user affinity.
Power terminals must be easy to install on site, because they are often installed at the front of the product panel that is easy to see, so sales often have some say in the appearance of power terminals.There is a problem that products designed by the engineer to meet all the requirements of mechanical and electrical parameters, but they had to change because production didn't meet the sales requirements. If this happens at the ending of the design,a fierce debate is inevitable, which may lead to higher costs and delayed delivery. In many industrial control systems, terminals connectors are often one of the few components that technicians need to pay special attention to. Although its user interface is relatively simple (mainly screws), it is very important for the normal operation of the device.
In general, as the current increases, the wires become thicker, and the torque required to fasten these thick wires on the terminals connectors also needs to be increased.Sometimes, the power terminals need larger screws and stronger insulation enclosures. Sometimes, small screws are used to save space which is used in very compact terminal products. But some wires diameter are more than 1/4 inch, these small screws are difficult to handle.
When technicians and maintenance personnel need to install multiple lines, the use of large enough screws to simplify the wiring work can greatly save time. This is why it is so important for engineers to listen to the opinions of the marketing department as early as possible in the design process.
When terminals connectors are used in consumer products, appearance becomes more and more important. In fact, some designers often specify to plate gold on the terminal devices used for audio equipment. Although this increases the cost and does not significantly improve the performance, gold-plating does improv
