Now, cee connectors are getting smaller and smaller, because miniaturization is the trend. Numerous electronic devices, such as smart phones, laptops, and multi-function displays, are getting smaller and smaller. As a result, the internal space is getting smaller and smaller, and the components are very close to each other, so the space of the machine is very small. The power socket has a seat into which one or more circuit wires can be inserted, through which various wires can be inserted to facilitate connection with other circuits. Embedded socket is embedded in the integrated communication cabinet, which is a power supply device that provides basic DC power for communication and data equipment in the same cabinet. It also has certain universality. Socket A socket into which one or more circuit wires can be inserted, through which various wires can be inserted to facilitate connection with other circuits. This trend is also reflected in the national defense and aerospace fields, such as spaceships, satellites, missiles, etc. These devices have strict size restrictions, which can only be met by using miniaturized cee connectors. The market demand for small connectors is increasing. How to make the connector smaller without affecting its performance is a difficult problem for designers, and design engineers can no longer put the connector design in the final stage of the project. Here are some design suggestions from connector suppliers, not only connector experts, but also the lessons learned by designers from painful experiences, so it is worth all designers' reference. 1. Consider connectors early in the design process Most engineers tend to concentrate on the overall system of the product, and consider connectors at the last stage of design. The reason is very simple. They thought the CEE connector was very simple, so they put its related design in the final stage. As a result, they got stuck in their own design, and finally they had to design the connector in a hurry. The design of micro-connectors should take into account such factors as packaging, durability, current carrying capacity, etc. Engineers should consider connectors in the early design of products. Many designers are prone to make mistakes on this issue, because they don't consider the performance of connectors and the matching of other components, resulting in the choice of non-standard connectors, which not only raises the cost, but also poses a hidden danger to the performance stability of the system. 2. Be clear about space constraints Generally, the thickness of the connectors on the circuit board is less than 1mm, and they are closely surrounded by various circuits and electrical components, often leaving their positions only as big as their own size, which requires designers to carefully consider the routing and layout of various connecting circuits on the circuit board. In addition, some flexible CEE connectors support forward and backward flip functions, and we need to take this factor into consideration in the system design. For example, if there is another component on the back and back of the forward flip connector, the two components will rub against each other. 3. Considering the current load capacity With the decrease of connector size, its current carrying capacity decreases. Generally speaking, the load current of WeChat connector is between 200ma and 500ma, which is about half of the rated current of normal connector. Low current load capacity will affect the data processing capacity of the system. To make up for this problem, it is suggested that designers increase the number of terminals and expand the current load. 4. Consider the stability of microconnectors. We need to make sure that they are not damaged during the design stage and the assembly process.
