For high-voltage connectors, usage safety is always paramount and cannot be overlooked. Thus, touch-proof design has become a mandatory requirement in high-voltage connector design. So, what hazards exist if high-current, high-voltage connectors lack touch protection? We recommend industrial-grade, highly reliable touch-proof safety connectors.
Without Touch Protection, High-Voltage Connectors = "Minefield"
High-voltage connectors designed for transmitting high currents and voltages are widely used in new energy, industrial equipment, rail transit, and other fields. Accidental contact with high current and voltage can have unimaginable consequences. What specific hazards might occur?
1. Electric Shock Risk, Personnel Injury
- High-voltage electric shock: Operators may accidentally touch exposed conductors (pins, sockets) before complete power-off, causing electric shock accidents.
- Arc burns: Arcing during mating/unmating can burn skin and even trigger explosions in hazardous environments.
2. Equipment Damage, Short Circuits or Overheating
- Metal foreign objects: Conductive items like screws falling into non-touch-proof connectors can cause short circuits and burn out equipment.
- Poor contact: Dust or moisture entering exposed contacts increases resistance, causing localized overheating and insulation failure.
3. Legal Risks, Market Access Barriers
- Violating safety standards: Non-touch-proof HV connectors may fail mandatory certifications like IEC 61984 and UL 2238, preventing market entry or incurring fines.
CNLINKO M28 Series Touch-Proof Connectors: Safety Enhanced, Leaving No "Backdoor" for Risks
CNLINKO has launched the M28 series high-current touch-proof connectors—LP28 and YM28 series 2-pin industrial connectors—based on market demand and safety standards. They prevent electric shock, enhance safety, and pass the safety finger probe test per relevant standards.
Plug & Socket Touch Protection Left Diagram: Plastic touch-proof shield added over pin tops. Right Diagram: Socket front insulated to prevent contact. This structural design prevents skin (e.g., fingers) from directly contacting exposed metal parts of contacts, eliminating shock risks.
Beyond Touch Protection: Balanced & Powerful Performance
In addition to touch-proof safety, CNLINKO's LP28 and YM28 series 2-pin high-current industrial connectors excel in other aspects:
① Industrial protection: IP68/IPX9K flagship waterproofing;
② High/low-temp resistance: -25°C ~ +85°C (plastic version);
③ Corrosion resistance: Salt spray test ≥72 hours;
④ High flame retardancy (UL94 V-0), UV resistant;
⑤ Original patented design, more valuable;
⑥ Multiple certifications: UL, TUV, CQC, etc., ensuring exceptional quality.
