If we understand circuits, we should know that they should be connected by continuous conductors. When connected, the circuit will be connected and the current will flow through the connector. For example, an electronic device should be connected to a power supply, but what if there are no connectors between the circuits?

Take LED landscape lamp as an example. Generally, the distance from the power supply to the lamp holder is relatively large. If every wire is connected from the power supply to the lamp holder from the beginning to the end, the double-layer needle arrangement will bring unnecessary trouble to the construction and cause wire waste. Some people may think, is it possible to directly open a gap from the live wire, connect the conductive parts of the wire together, and then wrap a few layers of insulating glue?

You don't have to use connectors. First of all, the vast majority of insulating tapes are prone to aging, and there are potential safety hazards. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the joints directly connected by wires are very poor. When the wires are slightly vibrating, it is easy to cause breakage when stretching, and the contact is poor, which causes them to heat up and cause fires. Moreover, the outdoor environment is bad, and the requirements for water, salt and anti-aging are relatively high, and the insulation adhesive is far from meeting the requirements. However, if high-performance waterproof connector is used in outdoor lighting, it can not only simplify the installation of power grid, but also reduce all potential safety hazards to a very low level.

This example briefly illustrates the benefits of connectors. It makes the design and production process more convenient, flexible and safe, and reduces the cost of production and maintenance. The appearance of connectors improves the production process, simplifies the assembly process of electronic products, and simplifies the batch production process. If the electronic component fails, it can be quickly replaced and upgraded. With the development of technology, the components can be updated when installing the connector, and the new and more perfect components can be used to replace the old components, so as to improve the flexibility of design.

Especially for the industrial connector, sometimes in the need to plug in the harsh environment, it is more important to be flexible and safe. At this point, a simple plug-in connector with snap fastener will be a wise choice.
