Why are connectors also called aviation plugs and what types are there.

Aeronautical plug is the common name of the electrical connector, also known as aviation connectors, aviation electrical connectors, because initially used in the aviation field and named. Generally used in conjunction with aviation sockets, now widely used in navigation, aerospace, aviation, national defense, military, nuclear industry, electric power and other fields, the shell material is often used magnesium-aluminum alloy, stainless steel, etc., strong and durable.

In our industry management, the electrical connectors and switches, keyboards, etc. collectively referred to as electrical components, and electrical components and relays are collectively referred to as electromechanical components. Connector product type of division, although some confusion, but from a technical point of view, the connector product categories only the following three basic divisions:

① By connection: threaded connection, bayonet (fast) connection, card lock connection, push-pull connection, direct connection;

② By shape: circular and rectangular (cross-section),

③ According to the operating frequency: Low frequency and high frequency (bounded by 3MHz).

The technical parameters of aviation plugs are usually three categories:

①Electrical performance: rated voltage, rated current, contact resistance, voltage and insulation resistance, shielding, RF anti-interference attenuation value

②Mechanical properties: the number of contact pairs and pinhole, installation and shape, shell material, insulator, contact, mechanical life.

③Environmental technical performance: working temperature, working height, vibration, shock, constant acceleration, sealing, salt spray, moisture, mold and mildew resistance.

China's connector manufacturers mainly learn from Japan, Germany, the United States, the well-known connector production company, Ningbo Jianwei Electrical Company maojwei brand developed a number of U.S. and German high-quality connectors, in the domestic and international connector industry is well-known.
