Take LED landscape lights as an example. The distance from the power supply to the lamp holder is generally larger, if from the power supply to the lamp holder are each line from beginning to end connection, it will bring unnecessary trouble to the construction, and will cause wire waste. Some people will question, directly from the live wire to open a gap, the conductive parts of the wire together, and then wrapped a few layers of insulation glue can not also? You don't have to use a connector. First of all, most of the insulation tape is easy to aging, there are security risks; Secondly, the mechanical properties of the joint directly built with wires are very poor. It is easy to cause disconnection by a little vibration and stretching of the line, and the interface contact is poor, which is easy to cause fever and cause fire. Besides, the outdoor environment is bad, waterproof, salt, aging and other requirements will be relatively high, and the insulation glue is far less than the requirements. But if you use high-performance waterproof connectors in outdoor lighting, not only simplify the installation of the grid, but all of these safety hazards will be reduced to a very low level.

This example briefly illustrates the benefits of connectors. It makes the design and production process more convenient, more flexible, more safe, and also reduces production and maintenance costs. The advent of connectors improves the manufacturing process connectors simplify the assembly process of electronic products, they also simplify the mass production process easy maintenance if an electronic component fails, with the connector you can quickly replace the failed component, easy to upgrade as technology advances, with the connector you can update the component, Using connectors gives engineers greater flexibility when designing and integrating new products, as well as when composing systems from meta-components.

Especially for industrial connectors, sometimes used in the need to plug the harsh environment, flexibility and safety is more important. A simple plug connector with a snap is a wise choice.
