the waterproof connector of metal and plastic difference

In life, we often need waterproof connectors, such as cars, boats, airplanes, and some exposed equipment. Therefore, waterproof connectors are used very frequently in our daily lives, but the waterproof connectors are available in metal and plastic. What is the difference between the waterproof connectors of metal and plastic?

Environmental parameters: Environmental parameters mainly include ambient temperature, humidity, temperature change, atmospheric pressure and corrosive environment. The environment in which the waterproof connector is used during storage and transportation has a significant impact on its performance. Therefore, it is better to select the corresponding metal casing according to the actual environmental conditions.

Termination method: The termination method refers to the connection method of the hardware contacts of the waterproof connector male and female connectors and the wire and cable. The metal is the same as the plastic case. Comprehensive analysis, in addition to the need for joints with shielding, metal and nylon TA66 plastic shells have little difference in performance. Plastic is relatively cheaper than metal casing and has a more reasonable structure.
