Introduction to the Application of Waterproof Connectors in Plant Growth Lights

Plant growth lights, also known as plant supplemental lights, serve the purpose of supplementing light for plants to ensure their healthy growth. They can adjust the lighting duration and intensity according to the needs of plants, providing appropriate illumination for plant growth.

Initially, plant supplemental lights were widely used in greenhouses, where off-season crops were grown. Due to weather and environmental factors, there was severe light deficiency, which was insufficient to support the healthy growth of plants. Later, with technological advancements, the research and development of plant supplemental lights continued to progress, and their applications became increasingly widespread, including in home gardens and on plant shelves. They conform to plants' absorption and utilization of sunlight, ensuring the progression of photosynthesis.

Due to the unique environment of the plant growth lighting system, which requires frequent irrigation and fertilization, there are stringent requirements for the waterproofing and salt spray/acid corrosion resistance of the male and female sockets of the power supply module. Among these, there is a crucial yet invisible product: the pluggable waterproof connector.

The waterproof connectors developed and produced by Zhengcheng Electric feature a rich variety of structures, including threaded and latching connection methods. The plugs are divided into assembled and injection-molded types; the sockets are available in various connection methods such as front-panel mounting, rear-panel mounting, and PCB board mounting. With 2 to 18 cores, they offer a mix of high and low currents as well as power and signal connections to meet various connection needs. The outer shell is made of PA66 material with a flame retardant rating of 94V-0. Multiple sealing rings provide an IP67/IP68 protection rating, meeting the overall lighting requirements and adapting to various indoor planting scenarios. The pin material is gold-plated copper, fulfilling the needs for resistance to salt spray and acid corrosion.

Additionally, the company has developed waterproof RJ45 connectors for networking that can not only control multiple lights in series but also meet waterproof and dustproof rating requirements, suitable for various high-humidity and splash-prone scenarios.
