With the development of industry and industry, the power supply of various machines and devices has become increasingly important to operate under different load conditions. This creates the need to create a new type of plugs and sockets for industrial and professional needs. Conventional consumer electronic connectors (plugs and sockets) are no longer able to meet the needs of the industry due to heavy machine loads, high voltages, as well as the dust, moisture and dirt conditions found in warehouses, workshops and factories. Standard connectors at high voltage can create conditions for short circuits, equipment defects, and create conditions for fire or other accidents. They are prone to malfunction or damage during use in harsh working environments, such as atmospheric conditions operations, moisture, temperature amplitudes, harsh environments, high corrosion, vibration and shock, resulting in short life and hindering the normal working and safe environment of the workers and the trouble-free operation of the devices.
The difference of industrial connectors compared to ordinary ones that are part of our daily life, they are designed for tough working conditions, with high quality materials on the pins, resistant thermoplastic that withstands different temperatures both hot and cold, and with different number of pins depending on the type of voltage whether it is single-phase or three-phase. They meet the IEC 60309 standard, with a high degree of protection against moisture, dust and dirt from IP44 to IP67. They are available both for surface, stationary installation and with removable plugs and sockets.
Military connectors and connectors are specifically designed for military purposes. They are designed not just to withstand normal wear and tear, but designed to withstand the extremes of nature. Military connectors and connectors must withstand both very high and very low temperatures. They must also be able to withstand very high humidity, extreme amounts of snow and rain.
There are two main types of military connectors:
