The reliability of electrical connector

-
The reliability of electrical connector is very important to us. In our daily life, we need to use various connectors. If the reliability is not enough, it will cause different effects, such as leakage, damage and so on. Here, Yeahui want to share the idea with you.
​The Reliability of Electrical Connectors
Design reliability
The reliability of electrical connectors,Material selection is an important condition to ensure the electrical performance and reliability of the electrical connector. The material used in the electrical connector determines the upper limit of the operating temperature, and the decisive factor is the sealing material, the adhesive material used in the environmental sealing electrical connector, Materials used for the housing and contacts.
The material selection involves the mechanical, electrical, environmental and other performance requirements of the connector and the physical and chemical properties of the material itself. Among them, the thermal properties of materials are the main factors that must be considered in design.
The electrical connectors are made of different materials, and the electrical properties such as the withstand voltage are also significantly different. When the electrical connector housing and contacts are selected, in addition the consideration of electrical, thermal and structural stiffness, the electrochemical compatibility and hardness matching of the mating and contact materials should also be considered.

Process reliability
The process of the shell, the injection of molding and bonding process of the body, the forming and gold plating of the contacts, the assembly process of the electrical connector and the termination process with the cable are critical to the inherent reliability of the product.
The gold-plated contacts are hand-plated, which often leads to partial film on the inner wall of the individual jacks, which is oxidized. The ultrasonic gold-plated production line is introduced, and the thickness of the gold-plated layer is strictly monitored by the instrument to form a uniform film on the inner wall, which improves the contact reliability.

  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

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
