Molded connectors and wire assemblies are typically used with sensors and control devices that require easy disconnection. Molded connector and wire assembly solutions are widely available, but standard products are not always fully compliant with the application. What should be considered when designing a molded connector? 1. Material selection of connecting nut and socket body Molded connectors and wire assemblies are used in a variety of environments, many of which are harsh and extreme. Material selection should be based on the specific environmental needs of the particular application. 2. Overmolding and cable material selection Injection molding allows overmolded wire assemblies to be produced in any shape or contour, and can be used in a variety of materials and colors to meet customer needs. These products can significantly improve their environmental performance and component reliability. 3. Installation and connection options Another part of the customization p

When designing and manufacturing industrial machinery and consumer devices, you will be faced with the option of "hard-wired" the cable point-to-point into the system or use a "plug-and-play" connector. In the long run, connector-based wiring is more practical and economical than hard wiring, so the connector is superior to the hard-wired five main reasons. ​ Connectors save time and cost more than hard wiring Most industrial equipment contains a large number of wires between its components and subsystems. When an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) makes a product, it is usually assembled in the factory before shipment, and then the system is disassembled and disconnected. And shipped to the end user, reassembled here. If you need to hardwire all the cables into the system, then remove them and rewire them in the field, this can be a very time consuming task. The pre-assembled connectors ensure that the cables are directly connected to the connectors, ma

Most of the terminal wires belong to weak electric wires, and they are widely used in various fields such as life and industry. The use of terminal wires is very common, which are widely used in homes and electronic appliances. The quality of the terminal wire is very important. It is directly related to the safety of the product and the house. If the unqualified terminal wire is used, it is easy to cause a safety accident. ​ Nowadays, new homes need to use copper electronic wires, but copper electronic wires will also have good or bad points. For example, copper core is made of recycled copper, and recycled copper contains many impurities. Some inferior copper wires are not conductive than iron wires and can easily cause electrical accidents. Nowadays, there are many specifications and price chaos in the terminal lines on the market. It is very difficult for consumers to choose. It is understood that the difference in the price of the terminal wires is huge because of the diffe

As an electronic component, aviation connectors are mainly used in avionics. The electrical parameters of the aviation connector itself are the main issues that buyers should consider. So what should I consider when purchasing an aerospace connector? In general, the choice of aviation connector connector should consider three aspects: electrical parameter requirements, rated voltage, mounting method and shape. ​ Electrical parameter requirements: The connector is an electromechanical component that connects the circuit. Therefore, the electrical parameters of the connector itself are the primary consideration in selecting a connector. Rated voltage and current: The same withstand voltage indication as the aviation connector, can use different maximum working voltage according to different use environment and safety requirements. In order to limit the rated current, the temperature rise inside the electrical connector is actually limited to not exceed the design specified value.

Today's LED products is widely used. Some products are used indoors, some are used outdoors or in some harsh environments. If outdoor LED products are connected, it may be necessary to use waterproof connectors. The waterproof connector is divided into two parts, namely waterproof plug and waterproof cable. The main function is to ensure normal and safe current and signal transmission in watery environment or in harsh environment. Now widely used in LED outdoor equipment, Environments such as automation equipment and military fields. ​ Four key points of common environmental performance indicators: including moisture resistance, temperature resistance, salt spray resistance, vibration resistance and impact resistance. Moisture resistance The intrusion of moisture has a great influence on the insulation performance of the connector, and it is easy to rust the metal parts. The constant damp heat test conditions are relative humidity of 95% (up to 98% according to product spe

Over-molding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine a wire harness and a connector to form a single component and place the cable assembly within the mold. In this process, the first material substrate is covered by other materials, and the over-molding process requires the use of insert molding (single injection) or multiple injection molding techniques to cover the rigid plastic part with the TPU layer or other over-mold material. So what are the benefits of the connector and harness over-molding process? ​ 1. Increase the flexibility of the cable harness outlet so that most of the movement between the cable harness and the connector occurs at the cable harness exit. 2. Provide wear resistance, impact resistance or impact resistance. 3. The cable assembly is prevented from being tampered by encapsulating the component under the sealing resin. 4. Provide 360 degree strain relief and increase tension. 5. Create a waterproof or wa

As electronic products become more lightweight and more sophisticated, there is a higher mandate for electronic connectors, such as high reliability, smaller size, and higher transmission performance. The most common place in electronic connectors was the circuit, the board-to-board connectors used on the board, the wire-to-wire or wire-to-board connectors on the wire harness, and now many industries require connectors, such as electronic equipment, automobiles, aviation, etc. ​ The most important part of the electronic connector is naturally the terminal of the contact part. The materials of these terminals are mostly not the same, because the nature and function of the places used are different, so the materials will be different, some need metal, some need liquid, the material is determined according to the specific conditions.  The choice of the electronic connector terminal plating is mainly considering the use environment, which is mainly divided into three cases: for gene

In automotive parts, the role of automotive wiring harnesses is very important. This is the key to driving a car, so buying a good car harness is a must. ​ wire Wires come in a variety of sizes, and the current values for each type of load vary, for wires used in devices with different power. The wires of the car are basically copper multi-core cords, and the outer layers of the wires are wrapped with plastic insulating tubes, which can effectively ensure that the wires are soft and not easily broken. Connector The connector is selected to ensure good contact with the electrical components, minimize contact resistance and improve reliability. For example, when designing the connector, different sheath materials can be selected according to different requirements. Flame retardant or reinforcing materials should be added to the plastic according to the actual situation to achieve the purpose of strengthening or flame retarding. In terms of terminal materials, the copper used f

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

Automotive electrical connectors are specially designed for automotive electrical systems. The automotive system has undergone tremendous changes, enabling modern systems to be extensively connected and controlled through microprocessors, as well as adding high quality and reliability for Wiring and electrical connector. When selecting an automotive electrical connector for a vehicle, be sure to consider its current rating, circuit density, wire size, voltage, configuration, and meshing force. The following is a brief introduction to the crimping methods of the five automotive connectors. ​ S eamless crimp Seamless crimp automotive electrical connectors are typically cut from a circular cut to make it look like a tube. Seam-type crimping The seam-type crimping automotive electrical connector is cut from a flat material. They are then rolled into a tube and have seams throughout the length of the joint. Non-insulated crimp Non-insulated crimp automotive electrical connect

The USB interface connector has many different types of shapes and sizes, each USB interface have different purpose of efficient use of the device, making it easier for the user to identify. USB Type-A and USB Type-B interface connectors are widely used. This article mainly introduces the definition and difference of USB A-type interface and B-type interface. ​ USB Type A Interface Definition USB Type-A, called Standard A, is the first original design of the USB interface with flat and rectangular shapes. It is primarily used to connect and control other USB devices, such as saving data on an external storage device and using a mouse and keyboard. USB Type-A is mainly used for host devices (desktops, laptops, game consoles, media players, etc.). Even if the device and host use different USB versions (such as USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports), the Type A connector is always compatible with the Type A interface. USB B type interface definition The USB Type B interface is the most c

Welding: The solder joints are required to be smooth, which need without solder build-up, firm and reliable, and also cannot be poor welding. Poor welding can easily lead to cable assembly failure. There is no good way to detect poor welding currently and can only be guaranteed from a strict process. If the cable core is thin, it should be tinned on the cable core and soldered to the inner conductor of the connector. If the cable core is thicker, more solder is needed for soldering. First, fill the appropriate amount of solder in the wire hole of the inner conductor of the connector, and then heat it with a soldering iron. When the solder melts, insert the inner conductor of the cable into the hole and rotate it left and right or repeatedly insert and remove the inner conductor of the cable so that the inner conductor of the cable is in full contact with the solder in the inner conductor of the connector to ensure reliable soldering and no poor welding. If there is excess solder, it c

We know that in many aspects of the industrial field, We use connectors which require crimping. We also need use special connecting tools When these connectors are produced. If special tools are not used, there may be cases where the connection is not connected or the contact is poor. Therefore, when the connector is crimped, attention should be paid to these five points to avoid mistakes in the connector production process. ​ The dimensions of the connectors and wires must comply with the relevant requirements, and there are clear regulations in the instruction manual. For manual crimping, the movement of each part should be smooth, the interface should be able to be docked, and the wire should be kept at the proper tension. The connector should be closed at the correct height during crimping and placed in the correct position. The crimping joint must not have a threaded end. After the crimping is completed, its appearance should be checked, and the next step can be perform
