Application principle and common troubleshooting of Silicone Conductive zebra connector in thermostat
The main function of the silicone conductive zebra connector in the thermostat is to connect the LCD display and the circuit board (PCB) to ensure the stable transmission of signals and currents. Its working principle is based on the special properties of conductive silicone, which has excellent conductivity and stability after vulcanization.

1.Conductive principle of conductive zebra connector:
Silicone conductive zebra connectors are made of conductive silicone and insulating silicone alternately layered. The conductive silicone layer contains conductive fillers (such as acetylene carbon black, carbon fiber, etc.), which form a conductive network in the silicone, allowing the connector to transmit current and signals when in contact.

When the Zebra connector is attached to the contact surface of the LCD display and PCB, the conductive silicone layer is in close contact with the metal contact to form a conductive path. This contact method ensures accurate signal transmission and stable current flow.
Conductive Zebra Connector Temperature Control:
●The thermostat maintains a constant operating temperature by monitoring and adjusting the ambient temperature. The silicone conductive zebra connector is used as a connecting component to maintain a high degree of stability and reliability when transmitting temperature control signals.

Cause the silicone material has good heat resistance and cold resistance, the Zebra connector can maintain stable performance under extreme temperature conditions and ensure the normal operation of the thermostat.
Conductive zebra connector common troubleshooting
Conductive zebra connector has poor connection:
●Symptom: LCD display is abnormal and cannot correctly display temperature information or control signals。
●Reason: The contact surface between the Zebra connector and the LCD display or PCB is not cleaned and contains dust, oil and other impurities; or the connector is not installed firmly, resulting in poor contact.
Solution: Clean the contact surface to ensure there is no impurities; reinstall the Zebra connector to ensure a firm connection.
Conductive performance of conductive zebra connectors is reduced:
●Symptoms: Thermostat is unstable and temperature control accuracy is reduced。
●Reason: The conductive silicone is aged, damp or affected by high temperature, resulting in a decrease in conductivity。
●Solution: Replace with new silicone conductive zebra connectors; optimize storage conditions and keep the environment dry; lower the operating temperature and avoid being in a high temperature environment for a long time。
Short circuit or open circuit phenomenon of conductive zebra connector:
●Symptom: The thermostat is not functioning properly, which may be accompanied by an audible alarm or flashing indicator light.
●Reason: A short circuit or open circuit occurs inside the Zebra connector, causing signal transmission interruption or abnormality。
●Solution: Check the connection status of the Zebra connector to eliminate short circuit or open circuit faults; replace a new connector if necessary.
Mechanical damage
●Symptom: The conductive zebra connector is damaged and cannot be used normally.
●Cause: The connector is mechanically damaged during installation, removal or use.
●Solution: Replace with a new silicone conductive zebra connector and pay attention to avoid mechanical damage during installation and use.
When repairing and replacing the silicone conductive zebra connector, be sure to follow the thermostat's maintenance manual and safety operating procedures to ensure correct and safe operation. At the same time, regularly maintain and inspect the thermostat to promptly detect and eliminate potential faults to ensure long-term stable operation of the thermostat.。
