How to choose a waterproof connector

-
When choosing a waterproof connector, we generally have to consider the following aspects.
First: The waterproof connector must first meet the relevant electrical, installation, connection, insulation, protection and other technical standards, which is the basis for selection.
​How to choose a waterproof connector
Second: Look at the structural principle design. Structural design is very important. If the principle design of waterproofing and connection is more advanced, it is already superior. If you choose an outdated structural principle design, even if the quality control in the manufacturing process is good, it is often in reliability and long-term weather resistance. Sex and other aspects are not as good as the innovative generation.
Third: Selecting a waterproof connector should not only look at the standard, but should go beyond the standard and pay attention to the situation encountered in practical applications.
In addition, the requirements of individual standard clauses are relatively low, which means that the quality threshold is very low, which results in uneven quality. Some test standards are tested in a "standard static environment", and often after engineering accidents, Going to re-test the connector and found that it is still qualified according to the standard. Why, because the laboratory tests have selected standard terms and standard environments, and the application site environment varies widely. For example, the M16 cable fixing head at the end of the connector holds the cable. The requirements for anti-torque, the standard only says that the tensile force reaches 80N, and the anti-torque value is greater than 0.45Nm. However, the connector may be pulled and twisted artificially in actual use, so the actual data may be far from the standard value, and this force It is kept between two connectors for a long time, and after a long period of outdoor use, it often ends up causing the connector not to be waterproof or to have poor contact and open circuit.
Fourth: Look at the production quality control system of the waterproof connector factory. It is easy for the connector company to provide a pair of connectors to provide testing. You can also get a good test score, but at the factory you will find that there is no inspection standard for raw materials, there is no necessary test link for finished products, and repair and inspection of non-conforming products. The lack of procedures and so on has affected the quality of the product as a whole. In the long run, a good quality system control is the most important reference factor for selecting a connector manufacturer, otherwise it will be "large due to small losses." In general, companies with larger production scales and technical testing equipment have a correspondingly higher level of product quality control and stability.

  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...
