Secondly, due to the complex product structure and components, the precision requirements for manufacturing are high. It is easy to damage the product when using jigs, and the production efficiency is low. Thirdly, when the electrical connection component assembly process is adapted to the external pin, a hard plug-in without protection against mis-insertion is used, which is easy to damage the product and is not conducive to quick operation.
