Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major environmental factor affecting the performance of outdoor connectors. As UV rays are ubiquitous in sunlight, especially in outdoor settings, UV resistance becomes a critical criterion for evaluating connector reliability. Consequently, industrial-grade connectors are typically designed with robust UV-resistant properties.

• Surface Oxidation: Prolonged UV exposure can lead to the formation of an oxide layer on metal surfaces, reducing the connector’s strength and corrosion resistance.

• Color Fading: For metal connectors with anodized and dyed finishes, UV radiation may cause noticeable color fading.

• Thermal Expansion and Contraction: Heat generated by UV exposure can cause metals to expand and contract, compromising the connector’s precision and long-term stability.

• Material Embrittlement: UV radiation can trigger photodegradation in plastics, making them brittle and prone to cracking, thereby reducing structural strength and flexibility.

• Color Changes: UV exposure may cause plastic connectors to fade or discolor, affecting their appearance and legibility.

• Dimensional Instability: UV-induced expansion or contraction can disrupt the connector’s assembly accuracy and fit.

The LP Series connectors are specifically engineered to combat UV damage, delivering outstanding performance in harsh outdoor environments. The series includes:

• Metal Versions:
  Crafted from high-quality alloys and treated with anodic oxidation, these connectors offer enhanced UV and oxidation resistance while maintaining dimensional stability.

• Plastic Versions:
  Made with F1-grade outdoor engineering plastics, these connectors provide excellent UV resistance, anti-aging properties, and dimensional stability.

All LP Series connectors undergo rigorous UV resistance testing and comply with industry standards, ensuring long-term reliability in outdoor applications.

LP Series connectors are widely used across various industries, including:

• Outdoor LED Displays:
  As outdoor LED displays become increasingly common in commercial advertising and large-scale events, connectors such as RJ45, USB, and power types are in high demand. The LP Series stands out due to its superior UV resistance, high waterproof rating (IP68), strong corrosion resistance (salt spray test ≥48 hours), and wide operating temperature range (Metal: -40°C to +85°C; Plastic: -25°C to +85°C).

• Other Fields:
  The series is also suitable for automation systems, electronic devices, new energy applications, electromechanical equipment, machinery, instrumentation, marine and vehicle-mounted devices, medical equipment, and security systems.

With exceptional UV resistance and robust performance, LP Series connectors provide reliable solutions for diverse environments. Whether deployed outdoors or in other demanding conditions, these connectors ensure long-term stability and efficient operation.
