The Importance Of Correct Use Of Electrical Connectors

1. As light weight and small size as possible

Size and weight are a sensitive issue for modern aircraft, and there is no room for compromise. An unnecessary increase in weight and bulk is a reduction in payload and a reduction in available space. According to the information, the weight of the transport aircraft is reduced by 1Kg, which can save 64g of fuel per hour. In addition, it can save less oil, which can save 80g of fuel per hour. For a transport aircraft, it can save 10t of fuel in a life of 5000h. A large transport aircraft uses electricity The number of connectors is about 4500, if each

When the weight of the electrical connector increases by 1g, the total weight increases by 4.5Kg, which can waste 45t of oil in the whole life, and also causes difficulties in the layout of the equipment in the machine.

2. Reliable work

It is required that the selected electrical connector is compatible with the operating conditions of the aircraft circuit system or the reliability level of the electrical equipment, that is, to ensure the error-free operation of the circuit and equipment during the specified life period.

3. Acceptable maintainability

To use connectors with high reliability, low failure rate and no need for frequent maintenance. Once a failure occurs, it should be able to be repaired easily and quickly, so that it can be restored to work quickly.

Fourth, the cost is equal

Under the condition of ensuring light weight, small size, short installation time, easy inspection, good maintainability and reliable operation, low-cost electrical connectors are selected to reduce costs.
