Deso engineers said that the contact points of M12 connectors are critical electrical components, which can lead to poor contact if the installation is not standardized or if the use process is worn and oxidized. This can severely affect the transmission of current and signals, resulting in degraded performance, instability, or outright failure of the device.
If the insulation material in the M12 connector is aged, damaged, or improperly installed, it may lead to deterioration of insulation performance, causing serious accidents such as short circuits and electric shocks.
In high-frequency or complex electromagnetic environments, the poor electromagnetic compatibility of M12 connectors may lead to signal distortion, malfunction or performance degradation, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
If the set screws or buckles of the M12 connector are not tightened or fall off, the connector may become loose, detached, or wobbly. This not only affects mechanical stability, but can also cause damage to electrical performance.
During installation or use, M12 connectors are subjected to excessive stress or a bend radius that is too small, which may cause damage to the connector or cable, or even cause breakage.
In a vibrating environment, the mechanical structure of M12 connectors may be loosened, worn or fatigue fractured, affecting their long-term stability.
The waterproof seal of the M12 connector, if not properly installed or damaged, can cause water to enter the inside of the connector, causing electrical failure or corrosion of metal parts.
In harsh temperature environments, the material of M12 connectors may undergo thermal expansion and contraction, affecting its mechanical properties and electrical contact effect. Long-term high temperatures can also accelerate the aging of materials and reduce their service life.
In harsh environments such as humidity and salt spray, the metal parts of M12 connectors may corrode and oxidize, resulting in degraded performance or failure.
In some cases, the use of mismatched M12 connector specifications can cause problems. For example, the use of an inappropriate number of pins or plug socket configurations may result in reduced electrical performance or damage to the mechanical structure.
Selecting the wrong M12 connector model may not be suitable for the specific application. For example, a model that is not waterproof is selected in an application that requires a waterproof connection, or a model that is not shock-resistant is used in a high-vibration environment.
The use of low-quality materials to manufacture M12 connectors can reduce their performance and longevity. For example, the use of materials that are not corrosion-resistant or poorly conductive can lead to early failure of connectors.
Defects or poor quality control during the manufacturing of connectors can lead to reduced product consistency and reliability. For example, process issues such as poor welding, uneven injection molding, or poor surface preparation can increase the risk of failure.
