What are the basic performance of PCB connector?
Connector is a detachable component (except an adapter) that is usually install on a cable or device for system data transmission or electrical connection, which means connecting two source devices to transmit signals or current. Yeahui introduces you to the basic performance of PCB connectors. The basic performance of PCB connectors can be divided into three main categories:
What are the basic properties of PCB connector
1.mechanical properties
In terms of the connection function, the insertion force is an important mechanical property. The insertion force is divided into the insertion force and the extraction force, and the requirements of this two parts are different. There is a maximum insertion force and a minimum separation force specification in the relevant standards, which indicates that the insertion force is small , but if the separation force is too small, and the reliability of the contact may be affected. Mechanical life is actually a durability indicator, which is called mechanical operation in GB5095. It is a cycle of one insertion and one extraction to judge whether the PCB connector can complete its connection function normally after the specified insertion and extraction cycle. The insertion and extraction force and mechanical life of the PCB connector are related to the structure of the contact, the quality of the coating at the contact site, and the dimensional accuracy of the contact arrangement.
2.Electrical properties
The main electrical properties of PCB connectors include contact resistance, insulation resistance and electrical strength. High quality electrical PCB connectors should have low and stable contact resistance. The contact resistance of PCB connectors ranges from a few milliohms to tens of milliohms. Insulation resistance is an indicator of the insulation properties between PCB connector contacts and between the contacts and the housing. It ranges from hundreds of megaohms to several gigaohms. The electrical strength is a measure of the ability to withstand the rated test voltage between the PCB connector contacts or between the contacts and the housing.
3. The environmental properties
For RF coaxial PCB connectors, There are also have electrical indicators such as characteristic impedance, insertion loss, reflection coefficient, and voltage standing wave ratio. Due to the development of digital technology, in order to connect and transmit high-speed digital pulse signals, a new type of PCB connector, namely high-speed signal PCB connector has appeared in the market. Accordingly, in electrical properties, in addition to characteristic impedance. some new electrical indicators have appeared such as crosstalk, transmission delay, time lag, etc.
Above is some relevant contents about PCB connector properties. We hope that through the above content, you can further understand PCB connectors.You can learn more about connectors from the article(When do I need an obd connector).

  SAE J1939 (hereinafter referred to as J1939) is the recommended standard of the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It is controlled and communicated by the "Truck and Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee" (Track & Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee). Developed and written by the Track & Bus Control and Communications Network Subcommittee. J1939 has become a recognized industry standard and choice for commercial vehicle diagnostics and data communication heavy, off-highway, truck, bus, ship propulsion, power generation, industrial pumping, construction, and material handling machinery. J1939 is a high-level protocol network (CAN) based on Controller Area. It is widely used by the diesel engine industry to provide diagnostic data such as vehicle engine speed, temperature, oil temperature, exhaust emissions, and other customizable options. J1939 connectors are divided into black and green rubber cores, but do you know the difference between t...

Benefits of overmolded connectors and wiring harnesses?

What is overmolding? In short, overmolding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine a harness wire and a connector to form a single part, and the cable assembly is placed in a mold. In this process, the first material substrate will be covered by other materials. The overmolding process requires the use of insert molding (single injection) or multiple injection molding techniques to cover rigid plastic parts with TPU layers or other overmolding materials. So what are the benefits of the connector and harness overmolding process? Benefits of overmolding connectors and harnesses: 1. Increase the flexibility of the cable harness exit so that most of the movement between the cable harness and the connector occurs at the cable harness exit. 2. Provide abrasion resistance, impact resistance or impact resistance. 3. Fix the cable assembly by sealing the assembly in plastic. 4. Provide 360 degree strain relief and increase tension. 5. Cr...

​Cars are equipped with diagnostics tool or obd-ii ports

Modern cars have the capacity of a few computers, are tooled with software that contains millions of lines of programming code and produce gigabytes of data, but they are still different from connected cars. ​ A smart vehicle is able to optimize its performance to reduce fuel consumption, show the best path to follow taking into account current traffic and weather conditions, detect errors in the engine and collect information data to negotiate lower insurance rates. Most cars and light trucks are equipped with on-board diagnostics or an OBD II port that provides access to data from the engine control unit (ECU). To get the information you need to plug in an external device. The OBD-II specifications provide a standardized hardware interface - a female 16-pin (2x8) J1962 connector, so a single external device can be used for most car models. It also should have an Internet connection to transfer the collected data. OBD-II connects to the Internet, and generally needs to use th...
