Automotive Connector Material Performance Analysis

-
The jacket refers to a connector that is injection-molded and press-molded from engineering plastics, PVC materials, or metal materials, thereby protecting the connection points and the role of connecting various electrical appliances. Support the protection terminal to make it firmly contact, accurately position, dustproof, antifouling, moistureproof, insulation protection, etc. Commonly used sheath materials are mainly PA6, PA66, ABS, PBT, PP, PVC, etc. When designing the plug-in, you can choose different materials according to different needs, and add flame retardant or reinforcing materials to the plastic according to the actual situation, in order to achieve the purpose of strengthening or flame retardant, such as adding glass fiber reinforcement.
Automotive Connector Material Performance Analysis
The materials and properties of commonly used terminals are as follows: brass (copper-zinc alloy) has the characteristics of low cost, good elasticity, and good forming quality, but it is easy to crack under stress and corrosion, and phosphor bronze (copper-tin alloy) has good elasticity. Relatively sturdy, but with lower conductivity and higher price than brass. Quilted copper (copper quilted alloy) has excellent electrical conductivity, strength, elasticity, good corrosion and wear resistance, high price, and hardness, and the material code and performance refer to QC/T417 "Automotive Harness Connector Standard".
Tin and tin-lead alloy terminals have corrosion resistance and better solderability, gold-plated terminals have excellent oxidation resistance and good conductivity, and nickel-plated terminals also have excellent corrosion resistance. Electroplating is to improve electrical conductivity, corrosion and abrasion resistance, and solderability. When picking up terminals, generally use tinned terminals with chain straps. Choose gold-plated terminals, and replace the hole-type connectors with fixed hooks to prevent rotation.

  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...
