main factors which affect the life of electrical connectors

-
In many cases, we wonder why the electrical connectors will have different life spans. In fact, there are many factors that cause the life of the electrical connector to be different. The usage scenario is different, and its life span will be different. Then yeahui introduces the main factors which affect the life of electrical connectors:

​main factors which affect the life of electrical connectors

First, the size of the voltage used by the electrical connector: the thermal reaction accelerates the chemical reaction in the film region, and has a certain repairing effect on the film layer. Therefore, the use voltage has a great influences to the application of electrical connector  . When the voltage is used up to a certain threshold, the contact film is broken down, so that the contact resistance is rapidly reduced.
Second, the size of the current of the electrical connector: when the current exceeds a certain value when used, the Joule heat generated by energization at the tiny points on the surface of the contact will soften or melt the metal., which will affect the concentrated resistance, thereby The contact resistance becomes small.
Third, the contact material of the electrical connector: Because the different contact resistance evaluation indicators are formulated, the technical conditions of the electrical connector also produce the mating contacts of different specifications and different materials.
Fourth, the state of the surface of the electrical connector: due to the deposition of oil and dust, the surface of the contact member to form a relatively loose surface film, the particulate matter is easily embedded in the uneven portion of the contact surface,thereby increasing the resistance of the contact member. The contact area of the contact member becomes small, which affects the normal use of the electrical connector.
Fifth, the positive pressure of the electrical connector: The positive pressure in the electrical connector refers to the force generated by the surfaces of the contacts that are in contact with each other and perpendicular to the contact surface. As the positive pressure increases, the area and number of contact micro-dots will gradually increase, and the contact micro-point will change from elastic deformation to plastic deformation.
Research, development and innovation are the foundations which Yeahui is found. Our technical team with well-experienced R&D capacity have made a great contribution to the company, with their support, we have full ability to help customer design and produce various new cables according to customers' special requirements.Our main products are obd connector, circular connectors, agricultural connectors and so on.

  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...
