Common connector metal material

-
The use of metal materials is indispensable in the manufacturing process of connectors. Parts such as the terminals of connectors need to use metal materials. Of course, there are also connectors with metal shells. We call them metal connectors. The connector needs to use a lot of metal materials! At present, the materials used in connectors are plastic materials and metal materials. The plastic materials that are commonly used in connectors are known to us. So what are the metal materials used in connectors?
Common connector metal material
There are five types of plastic materials commonly used in connectors, and there are three types of plastic materials commonly used in connectors: brass, phosphor bronze and thus copper, brass metal It are divided into two types, one is ordinary brass material composed of copper and zinc elements, and the other is brass material composed of more than two elements, and the metal material used in the connector is ordinary brass material; The phosphor bronze material is composed of copper and tin. Among them, the phosphor bronze material contains 0.001 ~ 0.004 phosphorus and 0.2 ~ 0.8 tin element, the rest is copper, the last commonly used metal material is such copper, so the copper material is Composed of ─ and copper, of which ─ element content is about 0.2 ~ 2.5%.
The above is the introduction of commonly used metal materials for connectors. These three metal materials are all copper alloys, and the application of these materials is based on the different material characteristics of the three materials and the application environment of the product. It is the same as the characteristic of the plastic material commonly used in the connector that we have said before!
As shown in the figure above, this is an M12 8-pin connector independently developed by YeaHui, opened and produced in mass. Its wiring range: 0.14 / 0.25 / 0.34 /0.5mm²/ (26/24/22/20 AWG). The pin material used is gold-plated brass, which has the advantage of having alternative wear resistance and continuity.

Yeahui is a connector supplier with 11 years of experience in developing high-quality connectors and wiring harnesses. We have many types of products, including obd connector, circular connector, agricultural connector and so on. We can meet the requirements of various customers. Feel free to learn more about connectors or buy our connectors, looking forward to your message.

  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

​Two performances that the connector's needs

When selecting a connector, first look at the mechanical properties, when the two connection points are to be connected by a connector, it is considered whether the insertion force and the extraction force of the connector are in compliance with the product standard. There is also a need to pay attention to its environmental performance, which can be selected according to the working environment of the mechanical equipment using the connector. The connector used in mechanical equipment must be subjected to a working temperature range that is greater than the operating temperature range of the mechanical equipment，whice must be able to work under the maximum humidity of the mechanical equipment, and also have the ability to resist impact, push and vibration. ​ A good connector must work properly at its standard high and low temperatures, and its parts must not be damaged by high or low temperatures. It is well known that humidity affects the insulation performance of the connector.
