How to Choose Among These 4 Popular Connectors? Here's the Guide

• Push-pull self-locking connectors: Suitable for frequent connection/disconnection in limited spaces and shielded electrical signal connections in instruments and equipment. They feature quick plugging, self-locking, anti-misplug design, anti-vibration and impact resistance. Ideal for electronic audio, instruments, industrial control, medical equipment, aerospace, etc., especially when fast plugging and anti-vibration are needed.

• M-series metal connectors: With high strength and durability, they withstand heavy mechanical pressure, fitting high-intensity industrial environments. For example, M12 circular connectors meet EU standards, offering high signal integrity, IP67 sealing, and resistance to extreme temperatures, hydrolysis, oil, and corrosion. Suitable for process automation, industrial applications, sensors, aerospace, etc., when high mechanical strength, waterproof performance, and signal integrity are required.

• Waterproof plastic connectors: Lightweight, cost-effective, flexible in design, and corrosion-resistant. Lighter than metal, they suit weight-restricted applications; lower manufacturing cost fits budget-limited projects. Customizable in shapes and sizes, they outperform metal in humid or corrosive environments. A better choice under such conditions with weight and cost concerns.

• EV signal line connectors: Such as 6.3 connectors, common in EV wiring. Made of copper core + nylon shell, they have good conductivity and insulation. With self-locking spring design, they stay stable even on bumpy roads, supporting various wire diameters for most low-voltage lines in EVs. Prioritize them for EV signal connections, especially low-voltage ones, for good conductivity, stability, and cost-effectiveness.

In addition, ensure connectors meet safety certifications like UL, CE, RoHS. Also consider ease of maintenance/replacement and compatibility with existing equipment interfaces.
