Dirt and dust are huge challenges in agriculture applications. Electronic connectors are the prime target for fine particle ingress. Tight, reliable construction and connecting mechanisms are key to keeping connections clear of dirt, dust, and debris and to maintaining connector performance integrity. These conditions are a challenge whether operating in the field, monitoring silos or automating livestock pens.
Connector Impact
Vibration is the main culprit in compromising connection integrity. The connector design, materials, inserts, and assembly ensure the connection remains stable thereby impeding dust and dirt migration that will jeopardize application performance.
A secondary, although critical, consideration for this type of harsh environment is temperature. Indoor and outdoor temperatures can reach extreme levels in ag environments. Connector components must be able to handle these temperature challenges to avoid component breakdown and mitigate particle ingress.
Identifying the right connector components that will protect your equipment from the effects of particle ingress and heat is critical to maintaining performance levels and keeping operations on-line.
