Where is the connector better than hard-wired?

General industrial equipment contains a large number of wires between its components and subsystems. When the original equipment manufacturer manufactures the product, it will be assembled at the factory before shipment, then the system is disassembled, disconnected and shipped to the end user, where it is reassembled . If you need to hardwire all cables into the system, then remove and rewire them on site, this will be a very time-consuming task.
The pre-assembled connector can ensure that the cable is directly connected to the connector, thereby making the equipment manufacturing, installation and maintenance more efficient, cost-effective and more reliable, at each stage of the product's subsequent life cycle, It is easier to cancel the connector connection and rematch. The total time for termination is thus reduced, and the need for on-site termination is completely eliminated. All in all, OEMs can use connectors to complete orders and install faster than the usual hard wiring.
Selecting the connector wiring, you can use compatible connectors to disconnect components and subsystems as needed, and interchange with other components, thereby eliminating the time and cost of rewiring each time you move, upgrade, or replace equipment. Greater flexibility is achieved within the system.
3. Easier to remove the risk of pollution
Sensitive electronic equipment designed for harsh industrial environments is usually placed in a waterproof and dustproof enclosure to prevent adverse production factors. If you use hard-wired installation and maintenance, you need to open the cabinet to terminate the cable, which increases the risk of contamination, but the risk of damage or incorrect setting of the enclosure seal at completion is greater, resulting in contaminants entering the enclosure over time , Possibility of accumulating and eventually leading to pollution, and serious damage to equipment.
The use of connectors can eliminate this risk very well, because the product will be plugged and unplugged away from the cabinet. The pre-assembled connectors designed for harsh environments are sealed, around the connector body and to a certain extent. Around the connection area itself-protect the terminal from intrusion, vibration and extreme temperatures. If any contamination does occur, it will contaminate the connector, not the electrical/electronic equipment inside the housing.
4. Smaller error
Compared with hard wiring, connectors require more time than hard wiring. Errors during installation and maintenance may cause unpredictable costs. The use of connectors will reduce the skills of installers or maintenance personnel, and will not cause damage due to wiring errors.
5. Less waste
The connector is more energy-efficient and avoids unnecessary waste of materials, such as expensive cables (shortened by repeated rewiring) and other electrical consumables (such as crimp terminals), which will gradually increase over time.
