When moisture exposure is a concern, what type of connector should be used?

Using moisture-proof type connectors is essential when there is a concern about exposure to moisture. These connectors are specifically designed to prevent water ingress, which could lead to corrosion, electrical shorts, or degraded performance of the electrical systems in an aircraft. Moisture-proof connectors typically include sealing features such as grommets or O-rings that provide a barrier to moisture while still allowing for reliable electrical connections.

In environments where moisture exposure is frequent, such as in aviation settings, moisture-proof type connectors ensure durability and longevity of the connections, reducing the risk of failure that can arise from corrosion or short circuits. This makes them a critical choice in maintaining the reliability and safety of aircraft electrical systems.
