8 Reasons Why a TE Connectivity Connector Keep Losing Electrical Contact
A TE Connectivity connector can repeatedly lose electrical contact when the terminal is loose, the connector is not fully mated, corrosion develops at the contact surface, or vibration and heat affect the connection. In HVAC equipment, these problems can interrupt power or control signals to motors, sensors, relays, compressors, fans, and control boards. TE Connectivity manufactures connector and terminal solutions used in HVAC applications, including power and signal connections for control systems and motors. A connector that intermittently loses contact should therefore be diagnosed at the connection point before replacing unrelated HVAC components. This guide explains eight common causes of TE Connectivity connector contact loss, how to identify each problem, and when TE Connectivity connectors or related replacement components may be required. 8 Common Causes of TE Connectivity Connector Electrical Contact Failure The most common causes include poor mating, loose terminals,...
