In 2022, CNLINKO launched a blockbuster new product, that is, the BD series industrial connector that won the German Red Dot Design Award, which is a new masterpiece with both a sense of technology and art, and its advantages are remarkable. The LP series is a classic model that has been selling well so far, and it is a market-proven performance and quality work. Whether LP series or BD series, they are industrial connector masterpieces with a number of independent patented technologies. Therefore, many users often make "difficulty in choosing" when facing BD series and LP series, two comparable aviation plug products. Today, I will bring you the selection strategy of BD series and LP series.
1. the commonality of BD series and LP series：
BD series and LP series, as two industrial connectors of CNLINKO that mainly focus on snap snap straight connection, have a lot in common. The main manifestations are as follows:
①．The connector types are very comprehensive
Both the BD series and LP series industrial connectors have a very comprehensive product range. Both have realized the type of "family barrel", covering: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 19, 24 pins and other PIN pins, RJ45, USB2.0, USB3.0, HDMI, optical fiber and hybrid and other full types, basically users choose BD series or LP series, can achieve a series to meet the power connection, signal connection, data connection and other different functions of the connection technology requirements, saving a lot of time and energy in product selection.
②．The shell material type and wiring method are the same
BD series and LP series industrial connectors contain metal and plastic models in terms of material, and the slight difference is that LP series also has semi-metal and semi-plastic models, which can be differentiated from the material style to meet the user's high pressure resistance and corrosion resistance requirements for the shell; Both wiring methods have welding type and lock screw type, which can meet the different requirements of reliable and stable wiring, flexible and fast.
③．The connection method is all snap plug and pull type, which can realize one-handed quick operation
BD series and LP series aviation plugs are connected by snap snap plug, which can realize one-hand quick insertion and unplugging, faster and more convenient operation, especially suitable for scenarios where quick installation is required, the number of connectors installed is large and the connector needs to be disassembled frequently. A slight difference is that the LP series air plug snap mechanism is designed on the plug, while the BD series air plug snap device is designed on the socket.
④．All have excellent environmental adaptability
These two series of aviation plugs have excellent environmental adaptability: (1) the waterproof level can reach up to IP68, and the standard IP65/IP67 level can fully meet the waterproof requirements of the equipment in complex environments; (2) The plastic model can meet the temperature environment of -25~+85 °C, and the metal model can meet the temperature environment of -40~+85 °C, which can basically adapt to the ambient climate temperature and use temperature of most regions; (3) The flame retardant grade reaches UL94V-0, and the safety performance is higher; (4) The plastic series has passed F1 certification, has UL yellow card, and has excellent UV resistance.
2. the differences between BD series and LP series:
①．There are differences in size and installation methods
For product size, BD series industrial connectors currently only have two sizes: M20 and M24, of course, the subsequent BD series will develop more size types of products; LP series industrial connectors are relatively more comprehensive in size types, currently covering five sizes such as M12, M16, M20, M24 and M28. For the installation method, BD series currently only includes two installation methods: four-hole flange socket and double-hole flange socket; LP series includes four installation methods: single-hole straight socket, four-hole flange socket, double-hole flange socket, and wire-to-wire connection.
②．There are differences in the appearance color system of the product
In terms of visual presentation, the shell of LP series aviation plug plastic model is available in four color systems: blue, white, red and green, and a variety of color systems can bring not monotony, a brighter visual sense, which can realize visual differentiation, while the metal model has a metallic natural luster; The BD series aviation plug plastic version has a black casing and the metal model has a metallic natural luster.
③．There are differences in the appearance and shape of the products
The biggest difference between LP series and BD series industrial connectors is mainly manifested in the appearance of the shape, the shape of the BD series is a streamlined body and a hollow arc back, the whole shape is more fashionable, the artistic sense of the product is stronger, which can add more visual beauty to the user equipment and enhance the overall "image score" of the equipment; The appearance of the LP series is relatively simple and atmospheric, very versatile, and more cost-effective.
3.BD series and LP series selection points:
By analyzing the commonalities and differences of the above two products, it is not difficult to know that LP series and BD series industrial connectors can basically be interchanged when selected, and can achieve high-reliability connections with the same technical requirements. However, when there are differences in the following points, you can choose different series:
①．In the selection of product size, if only M20 or M24 models are needed, both can be used; If you need an M12, M16 or M28 model, then choose the LP series.
②．In terms of installation method, if only four-hole flange socket or double-hole flange socket installation method is required, both can be used; If you need a single-hole straight socket or wire-to-wire connection, then choose the LP series.
③．If you pay attention to the visual aesthetics of the connector and equipment, and emphasize the integration of the artistic sense and technology sense of the connector itself, then it is recommended to choose the BD series industrial connector, because the BD series is not only an industrial product, but also a delicate work of art; If you need more bright colors to achieve visual differentiation, then choose the plastic model of the LP series, which is available in four color systems: blue, white, red and green.
