The importance of proper fixturing of connector electrical contacts is shared!

Never underestimate the importance of maintaining the normal mechanism of the electrical contacts and housing of the connector. If the contacts are not properly assembled or the fixtures are not strong, serious problems may occur. In this article, Huichengyuan connector manufacturers mainly share with you the importance of correct fixtures for electrical contacts of the connector!

The connector holds its electrical contacts within an insulating housing, some retention mechanisms are more reliable than others, and serious undesirable problems can arise if the connector contacts are not properly assembled or the design of the retention device is not secure. Although some connectors provide the contacts to the end user that are pre-assembled in the housing (plug, surface mount tail, etc), the user often has to assemble the contacts themselves as this usually happens after the wire has been terminated and it affects the performance of the connector. The electrical contacts can enable separable conductive paths through the connector and effectively extend the properties of the primary conductor (wire, PCB trace, etc.), the housing physically separates and electrically isolates the individual contacts while maintaining their orientation and spacing, which allows for proper engagement and fit of the connector. Connector contact retention features ensure proper axial contact positioning, facilitate assembly of contacts and wiring/harnesses, and can allow connectors to be serviced. These features absorb contact fit forces and resist forces arising from normal use (fit/disconnect) of the connector. Generally, low-cost connectors have poor durability and insufficient contact retention functionality, but connectors with efficient contact retention mechanisms do not need to cost more, it is wise to know the various fixing methods of connector contacts, and even better to specify connectors with superior design, while the correct retention design depends on application requirements.
