Physical Structure and Packaging Design

Pin layout: Dual in-line design, typically with 6 to 64 pins per row, supporting independent allocation of power, signal, and ground. For example, a 64 pin DIP 3.0 connector can carry a total power of 192W (single pin 3A current x 64 pins, temperature rise ≤ 40 ℃ at an ambient temperature of 25 ℃).

Shell material:

Industrial grade: Made of UL94 V-0 flame-retardant PBT plastic (temperature range -40 ℃ to 105 ℃, CTI ≥ 600V), with an impact strength of ≥ 8kJ/m ² (ISO 179-1 standard), suitable for industrial control equipment.

Consumer grade: Made of PC/ABS alloy (temperature resistance -30 ℃ to 85 ℃), with a matte surface treatment and UV aging resistance of ≥ 500 hours, meeting the long-term needs of consumer electronics.

Mechanical properties:

Plug and unplug lifespan: ≥ 1000 times (based on MIL-STD-202G Method 213B testing, plug and unplug force fluctuation ≤ 15%), the lifespan in industrial scenarios is 50% longer than traditional DIP 2.54mm connectors.

Retention force: Single needle vertical retention force ≥ 5N (increased by 40% compared to traditional design), effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration or impact after welding.

Electrical performance and signal integrity
