The basic performance of the JianNiuniu Angle Connector can be divided into three main categories: mechanical, electrical, and environmental performance.

Mechanical properties primarily include vibration and impact resistance, locking methods, mechanical lifespan, positioning keys, insertion and removal force, etc.

Vibration and impact resistance are critical mechanical properties, especially in specialized application environments such as aviation and aerospace, as well as railway and highway transportation. Particularly as the speed of aircraft or missiles increases, vibrations and impacts intensify, leading to cracks in insulation panels, breaks in wire and contact connections, and even disengagement of plug-in components. This is especially severe during resonance, which can cause connectors to fail. In shock testing, it should be specified that peak acceleration, duration, and shock pulse waveform be determined, as well as the time of electrical continuity interruption.

The locking method is a secure and reliable connection approach to prevent connector separation caused by vibration, such as adding a safety wire during threaded connections. Mechanical lifespan is another critical mechanical property. The mechanical lifespan is actually a durability indicator, referred to as mechanical operation in the national standard GB5095. It is assessed based on whether the connector can normally complete its connection function (such as contact resistance value) after a specified number of insertion and withdrawal cycles, with the locating key chosen to prevent incorrect mating of the connector.

The insertion force and extraction force (also known as separation force) are two different requirements. The standards specify large insertion force and small separation force, indicating that from a practical use perspective, the insertion force should be minimal, while an excessively low separation force can affect the reliability of contact. The insertion force and mechanical lifespan of the JianNiu cattle horn connectors are related to the contact piece structure (magnitude of normal pressure), the quality of the plating at the contact area (coefficient of sliding friction), and the dimensional accuracy of the contact piece arrangement (alignment).
