FAQ

To choose the right connector, the most important thing is to validate that its temperature range (e.g., 300°C-500°C) exceeds the heat peaks of your equipment. Additionally, you must ensure voltage and amperage compatibility, opt for high-quality materials such as ceramic bodies and nickel-plated contacts, and verify that it has international certifications (CE, UL) and an adequate IP rating for protection against dust and moisture.
