Materials for 90-Degree Plug for PCB Connectors

When choosing materials for the 90-degree plug of PCB plug-in connectors, the selection may vary depending on the electrical performance requirements of different industries. Here are the main options available:

1. Iron block material for PCB plug-in connectors with 90-degree plugs
This option is suitable for customers with very low electrical performance requirements. It typically consists of an iron block paired with a 0.3 thickness bronze clip.

2. Small copper block material for PCB plug-in connectors with 90-degree plugs
This option is chosen by customers with moderate electrical performance requirements. It usually includes a small copper block paired with a 0.3 thickness bronze clip, with the height of the small copper block being 6.2MM.

3. Large copper block material for PCB plug-in connectors with 90-degree plugs
This option is preferred by customers with higher electrical performance requirements. It typically consists of a large copper block paired with a 0.4 thickness bronze clip, with the height of the large copper block being 6.9MM.

PCB Terminal Block Aging Causes and Testing Methods

The aging of PCB terminal connections can be caused by various factors. Firstly, environmental conditions and temperature play a significant role. High temperatures in the surrounding environment or from heat sources can cause the terminals to overheat, leading to insulation breakdown and even explosions or fires.

Secondly, chemical corrosion can also contribute to the aging of terminals. Prolonged exposure to chemical or electrolytic corrosion can degrade the protective insulation layer, reducing insulation effectiveness and accelerating aging.

Lastly, operating at overload for extended periods can cause terminals to overheat due to the heating effects of current flow. Excessive temperatures can speed up insulation aging, particularly in summer months.

To test for terminal aging, one method involves placing five terminals horizontally on a rail, connecting them with rated cross-section wires at least 300mm long, and measuring the voltage drop across each terminal. The test should be conducted in an aging chamber with temperature limits of 20°C to 75°C and a maximum working temperature of 120°C.

During the test, a rated current flows through the terminals for both heating and cooling cycles, with voltage drop measurements taken after every 24 cycles to assess aging. The entire testing process consists of 192 cycles.

Prior to testing, the voltage drop should not exceed 3.2mV. Regular monitoring of voltage drop can help identify aging terminals and prevent potential failures.

Several ways to connect PCB terminal blocks

1. Screw connection: This method uses screw terminals to connect wires. It is important to consider the maximum and minimum wire cross-sections allowed, as well as the maximum torque for different screw sizes.

2. Soldering connection: The most common soldering method is tin soldering. It is essential to ensure that a continuous metal connection is formed between the solder material and the surface being soldered. Different types of soldering connections include solder tab style, eyelet solder tab style, and arc notch solder tab style.

3. Crimp connection: Crimping is a technique where metal is compressed and displaced within specified limits to connect wires to contact pairs. Good crimp connections can produce metal intermolecular flow, resulting in symmetrical deformation of the wire and contact material. This type of connection is similar to cold welding and can withstand harsh environmental conditions.

4. Wrapping connection: Wrapping involves wrapping the wire directly around the angular contact pillar. The wire is wrapped, pressed, and fixed at the angular contact pillar to create a sealed contact.

The main reason of high temperature when using terminal block

There are two main reasons why terminal blocks may generate high temperatures:

1. Loose terminals leading to increased circuit resistance, resulting in overheating.
2. Control circuit experiencing overcurrent due to reasons such as high power supply voltage or load short circuit faults.

Here are some solutions to these issues:
1. Check the working voltage from the secondary coil of the transformer to the distribution cabinet and then to the electrical equipment.
2. Ensure proper grounding from the transformer to the distribution cabinet to prevent common faults in grounding.

When it comes to high-quality terminal blocks, there are several key factors that must be considered in order to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

First and foremost, the materials used in the terminal blocks play a crucial role in their overall quality. The insulation housing should be made of flame-retardant engineering plastic, while the conductive components should be made of copper alloy materials. This is because the plastic insulation material and the conductive components directly influence the quality of the terminal block, determining its insulation and conductivity functions.

In addition, the production process of the terminal blocks is also critical. If the production process is not up to standard, the thread processing is not done properly, and the torque is not within specifications, the terminal block will lose its ability to connect wires effectively.

Furthermore, the appearance of the terminal blocks is also important. A high-quality terminal block should not only meet the functional requirements, but also have a visually appealing appearance. A well-designed terminal block can make a positive impression on users and enhance the overall user experience.

In conclusion, when it comes to high-quality terminal blocks, it is essential to consider the materials used, the production process, and the overall design of the product in order to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
