Storage requirements for rectangular connectors can vary depending on the specific type and manufacturer's recommendations, but here are some common storage requirements.
Rectangular connectors are generally required to be stored in a dry and constant environment. Avoid storage in excessively high or low temperatures, as well as high humidity environments, which may have an adverse effect on the materials and performance of the connector.
Connectors should be stored in their original packaging to maintain their integrity and prevent damage. A dust cover or terminal sealing cap for rectangular connectors can be used to protect the interface part of the connector from dust, moisture and contamination.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight may have a negative impact on the plastic or terminal parts of the rectangular connector. Therefore, it is recommended to store the connector in a dark place and avoid direct sunlight.
Connectors are electrostatically sensitive devices, so anti-static protection needs to be taken into account when storing and handling rectangular connectors. Use anti-static floor mats and gloves, and ensure that there is no risk of static electricity accumulation in the connector and the surrounding environment.
Rectangular connectors should be stored without excessive pressure or impact to avoid deformation or damage.
