Design and Welding
PCB layout avoidance:
Avoid placing high-frequency signal lines below the sinking area to prevent electromagnetic interference.
The hole diameter of the four pin plug-in board solder pad should be strictly matched to 0.8 millimeters. If it is too small, it may cause the pins to bend, and
if it is too large, the solder filling will be insufficient.
Welding process parameters:
The peak temperature for reflow soldering is 245 ℃± 5 ℃, and the preheating time is 60-90 seconds to prevent thermal deformation of the LCP core.
Wave soldering requires the use of fixtures to cover the interior of the interface to prevent molten tin from infiltrating and causing short circuits.
Usage and maintenance
Plug and unplug operation specifications:
The plug should be fully aligned with the female tongue, with a tilt angle of ≤ 3 ° to avoid terminal bending.
It is recommended to plug and unplug no more than 50 times a day, as overloading may cause fatigue fracture of the steel plate.
Environmental adaptability:
Non waterproof models should avoid environments with humidity>90% or dust, and it is recommended to install dust covers.
The working temperature range is -25 ℃ to 85 ℃. Exceeding this range may cause the rubber core to become brittle or soften.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Handling of poor contact:
Check the oxidation condition of the terminals and clean the contacts with electronic cleaner (such as CRC 2-26).
If the impedance is abnormal, it is necessary to re solder the four pin plug board or replace the female socket.
Welding point cracking repair:
Use low-temperature soldering (melting point 138 ℃) for local repair welding to avoid high temperature damage to the rubber core.
When the cracking is severe, the mother socket needs to be replaced and the PCB solder pads should be checked for detachment.
Heat dissipation and current management
Heat dissipation design:
Under a continuous current of 5A, it is recommended to add 2oz copper thickness and heat dissipation vias at the bottom of the PCB.
The contact surface between the shell and the heat sink can be coated with thermal conductive silicone grease (thermal conductivity ≥ 3W/m · K).
Overcurrent protection:
Suggest connecting a recoverable fuse (such as PPTC, with a trigger current of 6A) in series on the VBUS line.
Paired with an intelligent power distribution chip to achieve dynamic current adjustment.
