How To Buy Metal Cable Waterproof Connector For Rainy Days?

Nylon Cable Gland is a product that many electrical engineers often need to use. It can connect two separate cables together to achieve the purpose of current and signal connection. Since the connector needs to be used in an open-air environment in many cases, in order to avoid rain affecting the performance of the connector, it is necessary to buy a connector of good quality. So how to buy a connector for rainy days?

There are many types of connectors on the market now, but not all connectors are suitable for use on rainy days. Some connectors are only suitable for use in dry indoor environments, and some connectors have low waterproof performance. The performance and reliability of use on rainy days will be greatly reduced. Therefore, users must pay attention to the difference when purchasing.

When installing the connector, you need to do three phases, then organize it into a circle, then use self-adhesive tape to wrap it into a circle, and then wrap it with plastic anti-wear tape. The overlap should be half of the bandwidth, and the length should exceed the self-adhesive tape by at least 150mm, and the number of layers should be at least 3. Only in this way can the installed connector be able to prevent rainwater well.

When buying a connector, you can pay attention to the protection level. When looking at the waterproof performance, you should mainly look at the last two digits of IPXX. The first digit X ranges from 0 to 6. The larger the digit, the higher the protection level. The second digit ranges from 0 to 8. Similarly, the larger the digit, the higher the protection level.

When the connector is used in summer, there are often thunderstorms. Therefore, when choosing a connector, you must pay attention to the protection level. You cannot use ordinary connectors. Ordinary connectors have low protection performance. When used in thunderstorms, it is easy to damage the equipment or even cause leakage accidents.

In addition, the quality of the connector should be reliable. If the quality of the connector is unreliable, the connector will heat up after a short period of use, and even smoke, fire, and even disconnection will occur at the connector.

Therefore, when buying a metal cable waterproof connector for rainy days, you must choose a suitable connector. The selected connector should be able to withstand the harsh outdoor environment. At present, there are many brands and manufacturers of connectors. You must choose reliable brands and manufacturers, and make sure that the protection level of the connector is sufficient for rainy days.
