Connector component design summary

Housing, Contact, Spacer, Shell, Board lock and other connector components how to design, which is the connector design engineers thinking every day, but also the design of the machine connector can not be ignored when one of the elements. This article is the summary of the design of the connector components made by experienced connector design engineers, is the crystallization of knowledge and experience. Housing

It is the body of the entire connector, with the other parts assembled to it. It generally determines the size of the connector appearance, to confirm its structural strength can withstand the destructive end-user normal use or customer specified test specifications (for example: the need to exert force on the external cable in all directions, can not see the destruction; or Is the installation of screws, the application of appropriate torque can not cause damage).

Since it is the main component, naturally responsible for the positioning of the parts, so the size and tolerances (including geometric tolerances) with other parts of the matching parts need to be properly handled. Important features (eg hole for terminal mounting, drawer width) If dimensioning is determined by a single die and the die can be machined by a grinder, a dimensional tolerance of +/- 0.02 mm can be set to ensure proper functionality. Other such as the positive position, flatness, contour and other geometric tolerances should also be properly used in order to ensure functionality.
