1、 What is an automotive connector?: An automotive connector is a component that electronic engineers and technicians often come into contact with. Its function is very simple: to build a bridge of communication between the blocked or isolated circuits in the circuit, so that the current can flow and the circuit can achieve the intended function. The form and structure of automotive connectors are ever-changing, which are mainly composed of four basic structural components, namely: contact, shell (depending on the variety), insulator, accessories. It is also known as sheath, connector and plastic shell in the industry. What are the structures of automotive connectors? One of the four basic structural components of the automotive connector, the contact, is the core part of the automotive connector to complete the electrical connection function. Generally, a contact pair is composed of a male contact and a female contact, and the electrical connection is completed through the insertion of the female and male contacts. A male contact is a rigid part that is cylindrical (round pin), square cylindrical (square pin), or flat (blade) in shape. The male contact is generally made of brass or phosphor bronze. The female contact, namely the Jack, is the key part of the contact pair. It relies on the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation of the elastic structure when it is inserted into the pin to form a close contact with the male contact to complete the connection. There are many types of Jack structures, such as cylindrical type (split slot, necking), tuning fork type, cantilever beam type (longitudinal slot), folding type (longitudinal slot, 9 shape), box type (square Jack) and hyperboloid wire spring Jack. Second, the shell, also known as the shell, is the outer cover of the automotive connector, which provides mechanical protection for the built-in insulating mounting plate and pins, and provides alignment when the plug and socket are inserted, thus fixing the connector to the equipment. 3. Insulator. The insulator is also called the base or insert of the automotive connector. Its function is to arrange the contacts according to the required position and spacing, and to ensure the insulation between the contacts and between the contacts and the housing. Good insulation resistance, voltage resistance and easy processing are the basic requirements for selecting insulation materials to be processed into insulators. Four, accessories, accessories are divided into structural accessories and installation accessories. Structural accessories such as collars, alignment keys, alignment pins, guide pins, coupling rings, cable clamps, sealing rings, gaskets, etc. Mounting accessories such as screws, nuts, threaded rods, spring coils, etc. Most of the accessories are standard parts and universal parts. It is these four basic structural components that enable the automotive connector to act as a bridge for stable operation. What are the standards for automotive connectors? With the rapid development of the automotive industry, all kinds of automotive functional parts and components are constantly developing in the direction of intelligence, refinement and reliability, which puts forward higher requirements for the structural design, appearance design and materials of automotive connectors. Automotive connectors must conform to the USCAR-20 standard, which is the performance standard of automotive electrical connector system, stipulating that the electrical connector contact surface of automotive connectors should always be reliable throughout the service life. Comprises the following factors: 1, the material of the connector contact is stable and reliable; 2, the positive force is stable; 3, the voltage and the current of the circuit are stable; 4, the temperature is required to be within a specified range, including the ambient temperature and the temperature rise of the connector; 5, the connector has good robustness; and 6, the connector must be the same as a connector for a high-speed long-distance communication computer, Automotive connectors must be able to work reliably under harsh conditions. 7. Connector insertion force: less than 20.5 kg. 8. Connector retention: more than 2.5 kg. 9. Heat resistance: -40 ~ 120 ℃. What is the development trend of automotive connectors? At present, the global automotive connectors account for about 15% of the connector industry, which is expected to occupy a larger proportion in the future driven by automotive electronic products. As far as the product cost structure is concerned, the average connector cost per vehicle in China is only a few hundred yuan. Compared with the connector cost per vehicle in foreign countries, which is about $125 to $150, China's automotive connector market still has great potential for development. In the future, every car will use 600-1,000 electronic connectors, far more than the number used today. China is expected to become an important production base of global automotive connectors in the future. In addition to the existing first-line well-known international manufacturers, other manufacturers that have not yet set up factories in China will gradually establish production bases in China to supply the needs of local automotive components manufacturers due to the increasing local demand, localized procurement, cost advantages and other factors. Therefore, in the future, China's automotive connector industry will be a very competitive market for foreign-funded enterprises and Chinese local enterprises! China will also become one of the important producers of automotive connectors with the development of foreign-funded enterprises and local enterprises.

What are the types of 2、 automotive connectors?: Classification of automotive connectors and related knowledge of connectors in automotive wiring harness, many people know that there are hundreds of optical connectors in a car, so do you know how to divide the types of automotive connectors? Generally speaking, the types of automotive connectors can be classified from six aspects: electrical function, installation location, connection structure, shape specification, size specification, shape specification and working frequency. What are the types of automotive connectors: 1. By electrical function: electronic control module (on-board computer), lamp holder, temperature sensor, central electrical box, air conditioning harness, audio entertainment 2. By installation location: chassis system, instrument panel, engine system, security system 3. By connection structure: wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-board, flexible circuit board FPC, Chip packaging (IC pins) 4. By size specifications: rectangular, circular 5. By shape specifications: circular connector (common, coaxial), rectangular connector (sealed, unsealed) 6. By operating frequency: low frequency and high frequency (bounded by 3MHz) As for other applications, special structures, installation methods, Special performance, etc. Can also classify the types of automotive connectors into other categories, but generally only to highlight a certain feature and use, the basic classification is still not beyond the above classification principles. Considering the technical development and actual situation of automotive connectors, we will introduce several other types of automotive connectors: ① low-frequency circular connectors; ② rectangular connectors; ③ printed circuit connectors; ④ optical fiber connectors; ⑤ RF connectors. Some nouns must sound familiar to you, even if you have not driven a car, you must have seen them in the subject one test, such as chassis system, dashboard, engine system, temperature sensor, etc. The realization of these important functions can not be achieved without the contribution of automotive electronic connectors. These are the types of automotive connectors that we are going to introduce to you today. I believe that through the introduction of this article, you have a deeper understanding of the types of automotive connectors. In recent years, with the general improvement of national living conditions, cars are no longer the "goods" that rich people can afford to drive, and they have entered thousands of households. People have higher and higher requirements for safety, comfort, environmental protection and intelligence of automobiles, so more and more automotive electronic products are applied, such as car audio, GPS navigation, entertainment facilities, airbags, in-car optical cable network, ABS system and so on. With the increasing complexity of the internal structure of automobiles, more and more automotive connectors are needed. It is estimated that in the future, the electronic connectors of automobiles will be as high as 600 to 1000 per vehicle, and the types of automotive connectors may also change. In the future, the market of automotive connectors will become larger and larger, and the development prospects are also very promising.
