​The environmental performance of waterproof connectors

-
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.
​The environmental performance of waterproof connectors
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 specifications), temperature of 20-60 ℃, and test time of at least 96 h according to product specifications. The alternating heat and humidity test is more stringent.
Temperature resistance
The current maximum operating temperature of the connector is 200 ℃ (except for high temperature special connectors), the lowest temperature is -65 ℃. Since the current generates heat at the contact point when the connector is in operation, resulting in a temperature rise, it is generally considered that the operating temperature should be equal to the ambient temperature heating.
Salt spray resistance
When the connector is operated in an environment containing moisture and salt, the metal structural parts and the surface of the contact surface are highly corroded, which affects the physical and electrical properties of the connector. The salt spray test is to suspend the connector in a temperature-controlled test chamber and spray it with compressed air at a specified concentration of sodium chloride solution to form a salt spray atmosphere. The exposure time is specified by the product specification for at least 48 hours.
Vibration and shock resistance
Vibration and shock resistance are important properties of electrical connectors. They are especially important in special applications such as aerospace and aerospace, railway and road transportation. They are important indicators for verifying the robustness and electrical contact reliability of electrical connectors.

  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...
