Waterproof Connectors Use To Power Plug---Power Cable Connectors

Waterproof Connectors Used To Power Plug---Power Cable Connectors

This article will talk about power cable connectors that is waterproof connector related to power plug. In the outdoor or in the water environment, the power supply traction usually needs to consider the waterproof problem, because the circuit seepage may cause short circuit or electric shock. Therefore, the waterproof connector comes into being, also known as the waterproof power cable connectors.

Power cable connectors are more like extension cords, with a power plug at one end and a waterproof connector at the other end.

What is the power plug that will be related to waterproof connector?

Power plugs are male plugs, also known as electrical plugs, which is connect to the electrical outlets (it is female socket, also named electrical sockets). The power plug allow electrical equipment to connect the electrical grid via socket and the electrical grid provides alternating current to the plug. In other words, the power plug are used to distribute the power to the electrical device from sockets.

The alternating current socket is 3 core and 2 core, thus there are 2pin and 3 pin power plugs. Meanwhile, different countries use different sockets and power plugs, so according to the distinction of countries, common power plugs have UK plug, US plug, EU plug, AU plug and so on.

What is the waterproof connector that will be design for power plug?

The power cable connectors are the extension cable that connect with power plugs and waterproof connectors, so the waterproof connector is only one side designed for the power cable, which is required pluggable. As the power plug is male connector, the waterproof connector will be chose female connector in usual. Except rarely using male connector for special usage, female connector is safe for power output due to it is impossible to touch the pin.

Surely, there is another designing of the power cable connectors, that is the waterproof connector is impossible to plug or unplug. This waterproof connector is a L connector connected to the power plug cable, which is no gender. It will be directly connected to the equipment or driver power. This is a relatively rare power cable connectors option.

There are some waterproof connectors for choosing from, which classified according to different assembly methods, materials, electrical properties, etc. That is assembly connector, molded cable connector, nylon connector or PVC connector even metal connector. And for using to different voltage or current, there are different connectors for power plugs.

Classified by installation:

• Assembly connector designed for power cable connectors. This connector is without cable, suitable for the power plugs with cable and field assembly.
• Molded cable connector designed for power plugs. This connector is molded on cable. Commonly, the waterproof connector molded with cable and molded with power plug.

Classified by material:

• Assembly connector is only nylon material.
• Molded cable connector is nylon or PVC. Different material is with different properties and different price. Nylon material connector is high strength and anti abrasive. But PVC material connector is softer when compared with nylon connector.

• Metal connector is only some parts with metal material, the other material is also PVC material, which is suitable special application as usual.

Classified by properties:

Different voltage/current is using different connector, because of different size of connector carry different current. There are many waterproof connector in AOHUA. Such as connector M12, M14, M15, M16, M19, M20, M23, M25, M29, that is from low current rating to high current rating (0-35A).

The power cable connectors, the connection between power plug and waterproof connector, are very popular in the market. Whether it is electrical cable layout, LED lighting wiring, indoor plant lighting power traction, or outdoor garden lamp power cable layout, waterproof power cable connectors are almost essential. Therefore, it is imperative to design and customize your own power cable connectors.
