A Brief Discussion on Elevator Connectors and Elevator Lifespan

An elevator connector is an electronic component that bridges communication between blocked or isolated circuits within an elevator circuit, allowing current to flow and enabling the circuit to achieve its intended function. Experts from Haolong Electronics introduce that elevator connectors are indispensable components in elevator equipment. With the rapid growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and communication terminal markets, as well as the continuous transfer of global connector production capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become the most promising place for the development of the elevator connector market, while China will become the fastest-growing and largest capacity market for elevator connectors in the world. According to national regulations, the mandatory scrapping period for elevators is 15-25 years. So who will pay to replace them when they expire, and what will happen if problems arise in the early stages? The purchase of high-rise residential buildings requires the sharing of elevator costs. Generally, developers will include elevator costs in the purchase price, so the impact on buyers is not significant. Homeowners usually do not consider the replacement of elevators when buying a house, but when the elevator reaches its retirement age 15 years later and needs to be replaced, the cost issue becomes prominent. The reporter learned from the sales department of a certain brand of elevator in Shijiazhuang that the cost of designing, transporting, and installing a mid to high end elevator in a high-rise residential building is approximately 500000 yuan. The general service life of elevators is between 15-18 years. If a house with a service life of 70 years needs to replace the elevator at least three times, it will cost around 1.5 million yuan according to current standards. At present, high-rise residential units are generally divided by units. Taking a 20 story residential building with 6 households per floor as an example, each unit requires at least two elevators to serve 120 homeowners. These 120 homeowners will have to share a total of 9 million yuan in elevator replacement fees at least three times within 70 years of using the residence, which means each household will have to pay at least 75000 yuan in elevator replacement fees. Who will be responsible for paying for the elevator replacement fees? Moreover, this does not include the annual maintenance cost of approximately 10000 yuan for an elevator. In addition, what will happen if there are problems with the elevator before it is scrapped. The quality of the built-in connectors in elevators is more directly related to the use of elevators. If the elevator connectors are not selected properly, it can cause malfunctions during use, resulting in huge maintenance costs and endangering people's safety. Elevator connectors are essential devices for elevator operation. Some elevator manufacturers fail to ensure the quality of elevator connectors when choosing them, leading to huge maintenance costs before the elevator is scrapped, which troubles people's lives. The reporter learned from the Shijiazhuang Housing Management Bureau that the public maintenance fund paid for housing is very limited, and it needs to be used for annual planning, so these funds may not be enough to last for 15 years. Even if there is still some funds left, paying for elevator fees is simply a drop in the bucket. The remaining shortfall can only be shared equally by the owners. According to relevant regulations, elevators are public facilities of buildings. So the sharing method is based on the proportion of the purchased area, regardless of the floor chosen by the owner. According to incomplete statistics from relevant departments, there are about 40 high-rise residential buildings with 18 or more floors and approximately 60 small high-rise buildings (7 or more floors) in Shijiazhuang City, and most of them have been developed in recent years without encountering the problem of elevator replacement costs or relevant policies and regulations. Due to the fact that property owners generally do not consider the replacement of elevators when purchasing a house, the cost of elevators will become a major issue after more than a decade. Some property owners are definitely unwilling to pay for this, especially those below the fifth floor. They can choose not to use elevators, but elevators are a common public facility in the building. According to the current interpretation, the cost of elevator maintenance and replacement must be shared, and conflicts and disputes will inevitably arise in the future. In addition, any component inside the elevator is related to the use of the elevator, and the elevator connector plays a bridging role in connecting various important components in the elevator device. Before the elevator is scrapped, it is crucial to choose high-quality elevator connectors.
