The performance and role of connectors in automotive systems

 Whether in traditional cars or new energy cars, automotive electrical connectors are valued by engineers. Because it plays an indispensable role in the normal driving of a car. Let’s talk about the role and performance of automotive electrical connectors today.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure safer driving of the car, the choice of car connector must be reliable. How to determine this reliability, that is to ensure that the electrical connector in the process of use, the performance of the sealing and spark prevention is stable. Moreover, when the electrical connector is working, it must have temperature control performance and display shielding performance.

Regarding the sealing performance of automotive electrical connectors, it is not only aimed at waterproof sealing performance. The international standard specification for closedness of automotive electrical connectors is IP67, which is also the highest specification for closedness in the industry. According to the different parts of the car, there will be different waterproof requirements. However, the IP67 standard has become the choice of many automobile manufacturers, which can better ensure the airtight performance of automobile electrical connectors.

The power supply is also the most important source of energy in the driving of a car. It is not only related to the normal operation of the engine, but also responsible for the use of all power sources during driving. The car electrical connectors are also divided into different car power systems, such as Between the male end connector and the device, between the female end connector and the cable, between the male end connector and the cable, and between the female end connector and the cable, these four types have certain airtight spaces to implement.

In the realization of the sealing performance of the automotive electrical connector, the sealing ring is indispensable. The sealing ring can not only realize the fixing effect between different holes, but also realize the sealing effect. It can not only ensure the stable operation of automobile equipment, but also ensure the waterproof performance of automobile equipment during work. The material of the sealing ring is mostly silicone rubber, which is produced by liquid silicon and solid silicon after a certain chemical change.

In the driving of a car, electronic circuit technology plays an important role. Whether it is the control system of the car or the internal entertainment facilities, the electronic circuit technology provides the connection guarantee for the stable operation of the car in all aspects. In order to make the electronic circuit technology work better, automobile manufacturers have applied many shielding technologies to ensure the smooth progress of the work. Shielding technology can firstly protect the electronic circuit of the car, and secondly, it also plays a role in anti-interference and radiation to other parts. Specifically, there are two types of shielding technologies: inner shielding and outer shielding.

When using external shielding to protect automobile electrical connectors, two identical shielding shells are usually assembled together to form a shielding layer, and the length of the shielding layer can cover the entire length of the connector. Ensure that there is enough lock plate structure to ensure reliable installation of the shielding layer. In addition, the shielding material used must not only be electroplated, but also be treated to prevent chemical corrosion.
