Before an energy storage connector product is handed over to customers, it must go through the design process, production process, and testing process, among which the salt spray test in the test process is an essential part. What was the reason for the delayed testing?
Manufacturers of energy storage connectors believe that the salt spray environment mainly refers to medical device connectors and electric vehicle connectors, as well as underwater application environments. Under normal circumstances, the salt spray environment refers to the salt spray environment formed by 5% salt solution. Usually, this environment can effectively evaluate the equipment or components that are directly exposed to salt and other environments. It is not a real environment, normal The exposure time is between 48 hours and 96 hours.
Manufacturers of energy storage connectors point out that salt spray testing is often used in underwater environments and is often used to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal connector housings (such as verifying the corrosion protection effect of nickel plating on the surface of zinc alloy die castings), by checking DWV and insulation resistance to confirm the performance of exposed parts to determine that the housing seal is effective.
The salt spray test is also sometimes used for the evaluation of automotive connectors, where these energy storage connectors may be exposed to splashing water from ships when the car or truck is walking, especially after snow in the northern winter, which will be applied on the road. Salt to speed up snow melting. These energy storage connectors are generally subjected to a salt spray test to verify their corrosion resistance. The verification standard is also to test the reliability of the contact resistance, not to evaluate the appearance. Many times these connectors are used with seals to improve their salt spray resistance.
After reading the above, you should be very clear about "what is the reason why the energy storage connector manufacturer conducts the salt spray test on the product".
