Summary
At Moarconn, we firmly believe that quality is the soul of the product, and this is our most solemn commitment to our customers.
In the manufacturing field of card connectors, product quality control is key to ensuring the reliability of electronic devices. This guide, based on industry practices and Moarconn's experience, will analyze how to ensure the ability of card connectors through strict quality management.
ndustry Standards and Fundamentals of Quality Control
In card connector manufacturing, quality control is not just a production step; it is a systematic project to ensure reliable operation throughout the product's entire life cycle.
Core test items include:
Insulation Resistance Test: Evaluates the insulation degree of the connector's insulating material.
Withstanding Voltage Test: Assesses the connector's safety-rated voltage and ability to withstand instantaneous pulse voltages.
Contact Impedance Test: Measures the contact resistance between the card and the terminal.
Moarconn's Full-Process Quality Management
At Moarconn, we have established a full-process quality control system from design to delivery, integrating quality awareness into every production step.
1. Quality Control in the Design Phase
Product design is the foundation of quality. Our engineers use high-precision CAD/CAM systems for connector design, fully considering tolerances, material properties, and usage environments.
2. Raw Material Control
We strictly screen suppliers to ensure all raw materials comply with RoHS environmental standards.
Base: Uses LCP or nylon materials.
Terminal: Uses phosphor bronze, gold-plated in the contact area.
Shell: Phosphor bronze or stainless steel material.
3. Production Process Control
We have established Quality Process Control Points at each production stage, aiming for "Zero Defects" as our production goal.
Injection Molding Control: Ensures dimensional stability of plastic parts.
Precision Stamping: Ensures precise shape of terminals.
Automated Assembly: Reduces human error.
Key Quality Control Tests and Practices
Electrical Performance Testing
Contact Impedance Testing is a focus of our quality control.
Insulation Resistance Testing not only checks initial performance but also verifies stability after environmental testing.
Mechanical Performance Testing
Insertion/Extraction Force Test: Ensures forces meet specifications.
Durability (Life Cycle) Test: Simulates real usage with repeated insertion/extraction.
Terminal Retention Test: Evaluates how well the terminal is held in the base.
Environmental Adaptability Testing
We strictly implement environmental tests, including High Temperature/Humidity Test, Temperature Cycling Test, and Salt Spray Test.

We use the 6sigma DMAIC method for quality improvement, continuously optimizing production processes through statistical analysis and process control.
Failure-Proof Design
Our connectors incorporate various failure-proof designs:
Anti-Misinsertion Design: Prevents incorrect card insertion.
Anti-Jamming Mechanism: Ensures smooth card insertion/ejection.
Contact Pre-loading: Provides stable contact force.
Automated Quality Inspection
We have invested in fully automatic optical inspection equipment capable of detecting micron-level dimensional deviations and surface defects.
Industry Standard Certifications and Compliance
Moarconn's card connectors comply with numerous international standards, including:
IATF16949 : Standard for printed board connectors.
RoHS: Environmental requirements.
The Future of Quality Control
As electronic devices trend towards miniaturization and high performance, quality control for card connectors faces new challenges.
Moarconn is actively preparing for:
Micron-Level Precision Manufacturing: Addressing the trend of smaller sizes.
High-Frequency/High-Speed Testing: Adapting to 5G and high-speed data transfer needs.
Intelligent Quality Prediction: Utilizing big data and AI technology.
Summary
Quality control for card connectors is a comprehensive and systematic project requiring strict control throughout the entire process from design, materials, production, testing to packaging.
At Moarconn, we firmly believe that quality is the soul of the product, and this is our most solemn commitment to our customers.
