6 considerations for specifying in-vehicle network connectors for automobiles!

Today's automobiles, including complex networks that control safety, entertainment, communication and vehicle performance, all need to communicate with each other, which requires the use of high-quality vehicle network connectors for the interconnection and transmission of data and signals. Therefore, it is very important to choose the appropriate vehicle network connector. This article mainly explains six considerations for specifying vehicle network connectors for automobiles from Huichengyuan connector manufacturers. Today's cars are increasingly employing complex networks to control multiple vehicle functions, from engine control to infotainment to vehicle safety systems. These networks are implemented at key points with intricate wiring, sensors and connectors. Designers should consider a variety of factors when choosing connectors to use in these networks.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Specify the connection method of the in-vehicle network connector. Consider issues: First, designers need to consider which part of the vehicle the connector will be located and its function. Whether it is a single-wire-to-wire crimp connection or a multi-pin connector, the required connector may be a specific plug or socket end of a multi-pin connector system, designed to mate with a connector on another component (such as a GPS, on-board computer or after-market battery management device). 2. Specify the performance specifications of vehicle network connectors to consider: The physical and electrical specifications of vehicle network connectors need to be strictly considered, because the number of connector contacts and voltage and current ratings will play a decisive role, making the choice of connectors wider than ever before. At present, connector manufacturers have responded to market demand with products suitable for today's vehicle networks, and designers should carefully consider these products because they often solve multiple issues including size, weight and performance. For example, HDMI connectors are increasingly used in automobiles for high-speed data transmission, especially with the increase of smartphone connectivity in vehicles. 3. Considerations for the sealing performance of designated vehicle network connectors: The use or storage environment of automotive equipment is one of the most important factors in selecting electrical terminals or connectors, such as environments susceptible to extreme high and low temperatures or excessive moisture and debris (such as construction or marine equipment) may require sealed connectors. 4. Specify the shielding considerations of the vehicle network connector: The shielding performance requirements of the vehicle network connector should also be considered, because the connector must be able to maintain the signal integrity of the entire interface. 5. Specify the rated power of the vehicle network connector. Considerations: The rated power of the vehicle network connector is very important. The connector has a specified current rating. Specify how much current the connector can continuously handle under optimal conditions. These connectors also have The maximum rated current specifies the amount of current that can be handled under the derated specification. 6. Considerations for specifying the size of the vehicle network connector: Size is obviously a crucial consideration for the vehicle network connector, because the designer must consider the size of the wire gauge to be connected, for example, if the wire is connected to the stud, the stud size in the battery connection should also be known. Additionally, consider the additional hardware required for automotive interconnection systems, such as electronic wiring harnesses offered by most connector manufacturers, which often also have custom tooling capabilities that can prove helpful for in-vehicle networking devices using proprietary or custom components.
