1. Electrical Performance Matching<\/h3>\n

(1) Current and Voltage Levels<\/h4>\na. Low current signal transmission (such as sensor data): select 0.5~5A<\/b> micro plug-in terminals (pitch 2.54mm)<\/b>.\nb. Power supply for high-power equipment (such as industrial cameras): 20~32A<\/b> high current plug-in terminals (pitch 7.62mm) are required.\nTypical Case:<\/b>\nThe AI edge box of a photovoltaic power station needs to be connected to an inverter (30A output). Silver-plated contact <b>plug-in terminals<\/b> are used with a withstand voltage of 600V to ensure stable power supply under high-voltage environments.\n(2) Contact Material<\/b>\na. Gold-plated contacts: Suitable for high-frequency signal transmission (such as Gigabit Ethernet), impedance \u22643m\u03a9<\/b>, to avoid data packet loss.\nb. Tin-plated contacts: Lower cost, suitable for low-speed signal scenarios<\/b> such as temperature sensors.\n

2. Environmental adaptability<\/h3>\nIP67 protection level is selected for outdoor scenes, and vibration-resistant terminals are required for rail transit.\n
