Common material properties of connectors

-
The commonly used materials in connectors are metal materials and plastic materials. A connector is basically composed of these two materials. As we have said before, there are three kinds of the most commonly used materials, which are brass materials. , Phosphor bronze material and beryllium copper material, the three materials are alloy materials, and whether the material is selected or not is also selected according to the characteristics of the material, then several commonly used metal materials in the connector are respectively What are the characteristics?
Common material properties of connectors
Just like the characteristics of the plastic materials commonly used in the connectors we mentioned before, the selection of each material is based on the characteristics of the material! Let's talk about the characteristics of the metal material in the connector; the cheapest of the commonly used metal materials for the connector is the brass material. The brass material is composed of copper and zinc elements. Its advantages are mainly " "Three good", namely: good elasticity, good strength, and good molding quality! And in terms of price, it is also the cheapest of the three metal materials, and the shortcomings of brass are also obvious, mainly because its stress is not strong and it is easy to be damaged by corrosion; phosphor bronze It is composed of copper and tin elements. Its advantage is that it will be stronger than brass, and its elasticity will be better than brass! And its disadvantage is that its conductivity is lower than brass, and the price is much more expensive than brass material!
The best one of the commonly used metal materials for connectors is probably copper beryllium. The copper-beryllium material is composed of copper and beryllium. The advantages of its material characteristics are its excellent conductivity and good wear resistance. Not only that, but the strength and elasticity of the beryllium copper material are better than that of the other two metal materials. Its disadvantage is its price. The price of the beryllium copper material is very expensive!
As shown in the picture above, the M12 4 pin waterproof connector produced by YeaHui. The material of its pins is gold-plated brass, which has the advantages of preventing oxidation, keeping the resistance value unchanged, wear-resistant, and good continuity.

  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...
