What Are the Application Characteristics of Automotive Connectors?

 

 

From the purpose of using the car connector, in order to ensure that the car runs better, we can divide the reliability of the connector into the sealing of the connector in use, the performance of the car's spark resistance during driving, and in the car's During driving, the connector can also show shielding performance and temperature control performance.

 

Generally, when discussing the sealing of automotive connectors, it is not only the sealing performance of water in the car.

 

In this field, the current internationally popular management standard is IP67, and this standard is also a relatively high level in the automotive sealing industry. Although the requirements for waterproofing are different in different parts of the car, many car manufacturers will choose IP67 to ensure the sealing performance of their car's connectors.

 

In the running of a car, the power supply is a very important energy source, not only related to the normal operation of the engine but also often involves the use of the power supply when people are driving.

 

Therefore, in the power system of the car, the car connector has different divisions, between the male connector and the device, between the male connector and the cable, between the male connector and the female connector, and the female connector. There are certain sealing measures between the terminal connector and the cable that can be implemented.

 

In realizing the sealing performance of the automobile connector, the sealing ring is a commonly used tool. This tool can not only achieve the effect of fixing between different hole positions but also achieve the effect of sealing.

 

It can not only ensure the stable operation of the automotive equipment but also ensure the waterproof performance of the automotive equipment during work. Most of the sealing rings are made of silicone rubber, which is made after a certain chemical change between liquid silicon and solid silicon.

 

Now that cars are in use, electronic circuit technology is an important aspect of the automotive industry, not only in the driver's entertainment but also in the control system of the car when the driver is driving.

 

Electronic circuit technology plays an important role in the stable work of the car. In order to ensure that electronic circuit technology can work stably, people now apply a lot of shielding technologies in the production of automobiles.

 

These shielding technologies not only play a protective role in the electronic circuit of the car but also have the ability to resist interference and radiation in the components of the car. In addition, they can also protect the stable operation of the car connector. These shielding technologies in automobiles can be divided into two types: inner shielding and outer shielding.

 

When using outer shielding to protect automotive connectors, two identical shielding shells are usually used to assemble together to form a shielding layer, and the length of the shielding layer can cover the entire length of the connector, and the shielding shell should also ensure that there are sufficient locking plate structures to ensure the reliable installation of the shielding layer.

 

In addition, the shielding material used must not only be treated by electroplating but also be treated to prevent chemical corrosion.

Basic Structure of Automotive Connector

 

The four basic structural components of automotive connectors, it is these four basic structural components that enable automotive connectors to act as a bridge to make cars run stably.


First, the contact piece is the core part of the automobile connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, a contact pair is composed of a male contact piece and a female contact piece, because the electrical connection is completed by the insertion of two parts.

 

The male contact is a rigid part, and its shape is cylindrical (round pin), square column (square pin) or flat (insert). The male contacts are generally made of brass and phosphor bronze. The female contact piece is the jack, which is the key part of the contact pair. It relies on the elastic structure to elastically deform when it is inserted into the pin to generate elastic force to form close contact with the male contact piece to complete the connection.

 

There are many types of jack structures, including cylindrical type (split slot, necking), tuning fork type, cantilever beam type (longitudinal slotting), folding type (longitudinal slotting), box type (square jack) and hyperboloid wire spring jacks, etc.

 

Second, the shell, is the outer cover of the automotive connector. It provides mechanical protection for the built-in insulating mounting plate and pins, and provides alignment when the plug and socket are inserted, thereby fixing the connector to the device.

 

Third, insulators, are also often referred to as automobile connector bases or inserts. Its function is to arrange the contacts according to the required position and spacing, and to ensure the insulation performance with the shell.

 

Good insulation resistance, withstand voltage performance and ease of processing are the basic requirements for selecting insulating materials to be processed into insulators.

 

Fourth, accessories, are divided into the structural part and the installation part. Structural accessories such as retaining rings, positioning keys, positioning pins, guide pins, coupling rings, cable clamps, sealing rings, gaskets, etc. Mounting accessories such as screws, nuts, spring rings, etc. Most of the accessories have standard parts and general parts.

 

Automotive Wire Connector Types

 

Electrical wire connectors for cars are integral to a vehicle's internal and external system, ensuring that power and signals are efficiently distributed across various components. These connectors are categorised into four main types:

 

Terminals

Used to connect wires directly to a printed circuit board (PCB) without soldering, crucial for stable connections in control units and electronic modules.

 

Board-to-Board Connectors

Used for linking two or more PCBs together, essential for the communication and power transfer between complex electronic systems like multimedia and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

 

Wire-to-Wire Connectors

For joining individual wires or cables, allowing for the extension or modification of electrical circuits, used in repairs and installations.
General Automotive Connectors: Versatile and used for power and battery applications, including power distribution and auxiliary outlets for accessories.

 

Terminals
Terminals ensure secure and stable electrical connections within a vehicle, particularly at critical points such as car batteries and grounding locations. These automotive connectors establish a firm link between the battery and the vehicle's electrical system, thereby optimising the efficiency of power transfer and maintaining the integrity of the vehicle's electrical circuit.

 

Board-to-Board Connectors
Board-to-Board (BTB) connectors enable seamless communication between various Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) within the sophisticated electronic systems of modern vehicles. These automotive connectors are engineered to provide a stable and secure connection between PCBs, allowing for the transfer of signals and power across different components of the vehicle.

 

Wire-to-Wire Connectors
Wire-to-wire automotive connectors are essential components in vehicle maintenance and repair, enabling the joining of two terminated wires. These types of automotive connector can be useful for providing fixes to the vehicle's electrical system.

 

For instance, they can be utilised to mend broken wires through the use of butt connectors to join severed wires. Similarly, wire-to-wire connectors can also be employed to splice and link separate wires, aiding in the extension of car wires.

Crimping

Crimping is a popular method for installing wire connectors, often used in the automotive industry due to its relative simplicity and effectiveness. This process involves placing the stripped end of a wire into a connector, then using a special tool – the crimping tool – to deform the connector around the wire, creating a secure joint. The crimping process is both a mechanical and electrical bond, ensuring a reliable connection that can withstand vibration and movement often experienced in vehicles. It does not require any soldering or heat, making it a quick, easy, and efficient installation method.

Soldering

Soldering is a more traditional method for installing wire connectors, especially when a strong, highly conductive, and permanent connection is required. It involves the use of a soldering iron to melt a metal alloy, known as solder, creating a bond between the wire and the connector. Soldering can provide excellent electrical connectivity and can ensure a long-lasting bond, but it does require careful handling and expertise to avoid damaging the wire or the connector.

Heat Shrinking

Heat shrinking is a process often used in conjunction with crimp or solder connectors. A heat shrink tube is placed over the connection and then heated, causing it to shrink down and tightly conform to the shape of the wire and connector. This creates a protective seal around the connection, providing additional mechanical strength and offering resistance against environmental factors such as moisture, dirt, and chemical exposure. The process is quick and efficient, but does require a heat source, often a heat gun or lighter, and careful handling to avoid overheating.
