Advantages and disadvantages of plastic and metal connectors

-
Advantages of plastic connectors: 1. Plastic connectors have more custom design options. 2. Plastic connectors have better ergonomics. 3. Plastic connectors are more flexible. 4. Plastic connectors are lighter than metal. 5. Each plastic connector is less expensive. 6. The quick connection of the plastic connector provides easy service and maintenance. 7. The plastic connector can be color coded for easy identification.
Advantages and disadvantages of plastic and metal connectors
Disadvantages of plastic connectors: 1. Not all types of plastic connectors are suitable for laboratory/industrial use. 2. Plastic connectors may break faster than metal. 3. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures or direct sunlight may cause the plastics of certain types of connectors to lose their effect, causing cracks and deterioration.
Advantages of metal connectors: 1. Metal connectors are durable. 2. The metal connector is adapted to high temperatures. 3. Metal connectors may require stainless steel in a food grade/aseptic environment. 4. Metal connectors are better at handling some corrosive chemicals than plastic connectors.
Disadvantages of metal connectors: 1. Metal connectors are heavier than plastic connectors. 2. Each metal connector costs a lot. 3. Metal connectors may rust in marine environments or when exposed to moisture for extended periods of time. 4. Despite the traditional limitations of plastic connectors, new plastic compounds are now increasingly able to meet industrial requirements in many harsh environments, and even in some of the most demanding professional applications, the use of plastic connectors is increasing. 5. Plastic connectors are gradually replacing metal connectors, including laboratory and industrial environments.

  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...

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...
