How to optimize high-quality High-Speed Connectors

-
The connector design process for electrical applications requires consideration of many factors, especially when high speed networks are used. Designing High-Quality High-Speed Connectors In addition to assembling conductive traces between the two interconnects, connector designers must consider other optimized design techniques. Also ensure proper signal integrity, etching, tolerances, shielding, etc. when interconnecting high speed connectors.
​How to optimize high-quality High-Speed Connectors
1. Signal
The key to optimizing high-speed connections is to ensure minimal signal loss. Once the connected bandwidth is identified, the s-parameters can be further explored to understand the nature of the connection. Collecting a comprehensive understanding of these aspects will allow users to understand the potential of high-speed connectivity. These s-parameters are metrics that manufacturers use to classify connector speeds and should be highly valued. The designers should also be taken to focus on the s-parameters in the time domain, which is a measure of signal-time-related performance.
2. PCB termination options
Designers must also consider the importance of PCB termination options. These options include: surface mount, press fit and in-hole soldering (PIH). These options have their pros and cons. The reason why the crimp terminal becomes a reliable choice is its durability. These rugged connections are safe to connect to the PCB, but they pose a challenge to the high-speed connections that users typically need, making high-density connectors difficult to route signals out of the PCB. Because terminal styles typically require more layers in the PCB, this extends the path of the signal, produces discontinuities  of higher frequency , which will suppress signal speed.
3. Contact
When deciding which style to use in the system, you must consider the contacts inside the mating connector. Designers can make a variety of choices when determining contact configurations, much like termination alternatives, which have their pros and cons. One of these configurations is the edge-mount connector, which is connected to the PCB with a narrow rod with springs for greater continuity. However, shock and vibration pose a threat to the integrity of the connection under pressure, and safety may require additional reinforcement.
4. Crimp connection
Crimp connections are more commonly used for connections under stress that the edge mount connector may not be able to handle. It features a rod and spring design similar to the edge mount connector, but offers additional features that make it advantageous under high pressure conditions. These connectors are very reliable due to the many contact points that are allowed to be connected. Pinouts, springs and additional features enable tight connections and reduced resistance to signal flow. Although the connection is tight, the length of the contacts can cause problems. They sometimes exceed the length of the edge-mounted connector, which in some cases limits continuity.

  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...
