Rated Service Life & Mating Cycles

Mating Cycle Specifications

  • Industrial-Grade Models: Minimum 500 mating cycles
  • Premium-Grade Models: Up to 1000 mating cycles with enhanced materials

Methods to Extend Service Life

Minimize Unnecessary Mating

Reduce non-essential plug/unplug operations to avoid premature wear of contact pins and housing threads.

Maintain Contact Cleanliness

Regularly clean contact surfaces with anhydrous ethanol to remove dust, oxidation and contaminants.

Standard Operation Practices

Follow proper insertion/extraction procedures to avoid mechanical damage to pins, housing or sealing components.

Select Wear-Resistant Plating

Choose connectors with hard gold plating on contact pins to significantly improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Technical Note: For connectors in high-frequency mating applications, use locking-type M16 connectors to reduce accidental disconnections and extend effective service life by up to 40%.
