Clean contact pins with anhydrous ethanol to remove oxidation, dust or oil contaminants (avoid abrasive cleaners that scratch plating).
Replace fatigued or deformed contact springs/pins to restore proper normal force and ensure reliable electrical contact.
Tighten the connector to the rated torque (60 cNm) to ensure stable mechanical and electrical contact under vibration.
Select gold/silver-plated contact pins to enhance wear resistance and anti-oxidation performance in harsh environments.
Conduct regular inspections (every 6 months for high-use applications) and replace aging components proactively to avoid unplanned downtime and ensure consistent performance.
Technical Note: In high-humidity or corrosive environments, use sealed connector assemblies and apply anti-corrosion grease (compatible with plating materials) to contact surfaces to extend service life by up to 50%.
