What are the precautions for installing the waterproof connector?
1. Choose the appropriate connecting material according to the type and specification of cable connection. Nowadays, the quality of the cable connection material is also uneven, but to ensure the quality of the cable connection, it is recommended not to be cheap, and best to choose the material of the cable connection manufacturer with reliable quality.
2. It is best not to choose rainy days when the cable is connected, as the water entering the cable will seriously affect the life of the cable and in severe cases even a short circuit accident will occur.
3. Be sure to read the manufacturer's product manual carefully before making waterproof cable connections. This is especially important for cables with 10 kV and more. Think about all the processes before you do it.
What is the point of using a waterproof connector?
1. Waterproof connector To ensure waterproof and longer operation, it is recommended to use a double wall glued shrink tube and an insulating tube.
2. To ensure a certain pressure that the plug can withstand, it is recommended to add a sheath to strengthen the insulation and protection.
3. The self-adhesive tape (or heat shrinkable waterproof tape) used by the waterproof connector is a high voltage product to ensure the insulation safety.
4. When the waterproof connector is designed, it is better to apply offset butt connection method (that is, the cable does not need to be cut clean and docked).
What are the protection levels of the waterproof connector?
0: Not waterproof
1: Prevent water drops
2: When the housing is inclined by 15°C, water drops dripping into the housing will have no effect
3: Water or rain will not affect the bowl from a 60-degree corner
4: The liquid spraying on the shell from any direction has no damage effect
5: Rinse with water without damage
6: Prevent strong jet water, can be used in the environment in the cabin
7: Can be resistant to immersion in water in a short time
8: Continuous immersion in water under certain pressure
In particular, the test equipment, test conditions and test time of the waterproof connection of the highest level IP68 are agreed by the parties of supply and demand (buyer and seller), and their severity is of course much higher than the protection level below. For example, the IP68 waterproofing test of Bulgin waterproof connector is: Guaranteed to work for 2 weeks in a water depth of 10 meters without penetrating into water; Place it in a water depth of 100 meters and test it for 12 hours, while maintaining good product performance.
