Pin and female header connectors are a common type of connector widely used in PCB circuit boards in electronic, electrical, and instrumentation fields. The application of pin and female header connectors is so widespread that the reliability of the product plays a key role in the operation of many devices.So, how to ensure the performance of pin and female header connectors? In addition to selecting products from high-quality manufacturers, improper use can have an impact on their lifespan. Therefore, users need to understand the reasons for the performance damage of pin and female header connectors, and use them correctly in order to make the connectors more reliable and durable.
1、 Used for too long
When the use time of the pin and female header connectors is too long, damage will gradually occur inside the pin core, and the service life of the product will also gradually decrease.
2、 The application environment temperature is too high
If a pin and female header connectors is used in an application environment with excessively high temperature, it will accelerate the etching process of the pin core, causing oxidation reaction on the surface of the pin core and resulting in contact stress damage.
3、 Application environment is humid
If the pin and female header connectors is exposed to a humid environment for a long time, it will also accelerate corrosion, causing the surface pin core to be easily affected by moisture, and the plastic film will gradually be corroded and damaged.
4、 Extreme natural environment
Using pin and female header connectors in extreme natural environments is highly likely to cause deformation of the connector edges, as well as corrosion damage to surface metal particles and pores.
