Selection of type- c connectors in different environments

The type-c connector makes it easy to add devices to a computer without taking up the computer's parallel and serial ports. The devices can be used as long as they are plugged in, but sometimes they are difficult to use. Now let's see what to do when type-C connectors encounter special circumstances.
1. High-temperature environment: The metal and insulating materials of type-c connectors determine the working environment temperature of the connector. High temperature will destroy the flange material, reduce insulation resistance and voltage resistance; for metal, high temperature will make the contact vice lose elasticity, accelerate oxidation, resulting in plating degradation.
2. Humid environment: relative humidity higher than 80% is the main cause of electrical breakdown. Humid environment will lead to the absorption and diffusion of water vapor on the surface of the insulator, which can easily reduce the insulation resistance to MΩ Long-term in a high humidity environment will cause physical deformation, decomposition, product escape, respiration, electrolysis, corrosion and cracking.
3. Temperature change environment: sudden humidity change test is to simulate type-c connector in the cold environment actually used in the warm environment, or simulate the rapid change of spacecraft and detector environment temperature. Sudden temperature changes may cause cracks or delamination of the insulation.
4. Thin environment ""When the air is thin, the plastic will release gases to contaminate the contact pairs, increasing the tendency for corona to be generated, decreasing voltage resistance, and leading to circuit short-circuit failures. When a certain value is reached at high altitude, the performance of the plastic deteriorates. Therefore, when using unsealed connectors at high altitude, they must be derated.
5. Corrosive environments: type-c connectors are suitable for different corrosive environments, and the selection of the corresponding metal, plastic and coating structure of the connector, such as salt spray environment. If there is no anti-corrosive metal surface, the performance will deteriorate rapidly. Silver-plated connectors are not suitable for use in environments with high SO2 concentrations. Mold is also a significant problem in hot and humid areas.
