what is a flat cable connector

-
Flat cable connectors allow compact electrical conductor and piping designs to package power signals, video data and pneumatic tubing in a flat profile. Reduces space and weight by eliminating the multi-layer shield and jacket packing used in round cables and has an extremely long life. The following is mainly about what is a flat cable connector.
​what is a flat cable connector
Due to its flat, compact design, flat cables are more flexible than round cables, especially in highly flexible applications such as robotics, drag and auto-processing equipment. They are also suitable for military, aerospace, medical and clean room systems. This flexibility can be attributed to the equal bending of the flat cable in the same plane, reducing the distortion and stress of the round cable. The flat cable provides a small bend radius and is designed to accommodate compact and compact spaces up to tens of millions of designs.
The conductors in the flat cable connector are equally spaced and the travel distance is exactly the same. However, in a round cable, the wires are twisted and rotated within the cable, causing the pitch and stroke length to constantly change. Flat cables have significantly better electrical performance than circular cables, including faster signal speeds, less skew and higher current carrying capacity due to the consistent straight path of current in the flat cable.
A final advantage of flat cable connector designs is that they are easier to terminate and identify than round cables due to their parallel conductor layout. This parallel design also means they are easy to repair, and this equality makes the design more robust because stress and load are evenly distributed throughout the cable.

  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...
