How does the rast connector work?

Rast connector is a product that we often come into contact with in our daily life. In fact, the role of the rast connector is very simple. From the literal,we can see that the connector acts as a bridge. In short, it is to make the unconnected lines communicate with each other through a rast connector, so as to achieve the intended function.

(1) The basic structure of the rast connector 

Contacts: contacts are the core parts of the rast connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, a contact pair is composed of a male contact piece and a female contact piece, and the electrical connection is completed by the insertion of the female and male contact pieces.

Insulator: insulator is also often called base or insert. Its function is to arrange the contacts according to the required position and spacing, and to ensure the insulation performance between the contacts and the shell. Good insulation resistance, withstand voltage performance and easy processing are the basic requirements for selecting insulating materials to be processed into insulators.

Shell: Shell is the outer cover of the rast connector. It provides mechanical protection for the built-in insulating mounting plate and pins, and provides the alignment of the plug and socket when mating, and then fixes the rast connector to the device.

 Accessories: accessories are divided into structural accessories and installation accessories. Structural accessories such as clamp rings, positioning keys, positioning pins, guide pins, connecting rings, cable clamps, sealing rings, gaskets, etc. Install accessories such as screws, nuts, screws, spring rings, etc. Most of the accessories have standard parts and common parts.

(2) How the rast connector works?

First of all, let's take a look at the contact interface of the electrical rast connector, which is divided into fixed and separated interfaces. In fact, the connector is to make the lines to be connected through a mechanical method to make metallic contact between the two interfaces. The second thing to mention is the contact coating. There is a contact spring on the coating, which is generally made of copper alloy. This spring plays an important role in the process of line bridging. Therefore, it should be protected from corrosion.

(3) What can you get after using rast connectors?

After using the rast connector, life will be easier. Rast connectors can simplify the assembly process of electronic products and simplifies the mass production process. Sometimes, if an electronic component failed to work, it would be replaced when rast connectors are installed on it. With a rast connector, it will be more flexible to design or integrate new products.
