At present, the global automotive connector accounts for about 15% of the connector industry. China is expected to become an important production base for global automotive China Connector Manufacturers’s connectors in the future. In the previous article we introduced the basics of automotive connectors. Now we look at the technical trends of automotive connectors.
Connector Technology Trends
The "miniaturization", "high-speed mobility" and wisdom of connector products are the future development trends. The future technological innovation of the industry is mainly concentrated in the following directions:
Connector miniaturization development technology
This technology is mainly developed for the trend of miniaturization of connectors, and can be applied to micro-miniature connectors below 0.3mm, which is a new product of the MINI USB series. It can be used for multi-contact expansion card slot connectors, which can meet and exceed the strict requirements of multi-contact surface adhesion technology for co-planar contacts, high accuracy and low cost.
Folding wireless transmission
High-frequency high-speed wireless transmission connector technology. This technology is mainly aimed at a variety of wireless device communication applications, with a wide range of applications.
Research on simulation application technology
Simulation technology is based on a variety of disciplines and theories. Computers and their corresponding software such as AutoCAD and Pro / E program stress analysis software are used as tools. By establishing product models and corresponding boundary conditions, the mechanical, electrical, and And other performance analysis.
Thereby reducing the cost of product development failure caused by factors such as material selection, irrational structure, etc., and improving the development success rate, it helps to provide support for products to implement complex system applications.
Intelligent connector technology
This technology is currently mainly used on DC series power connector products. Intelligent signal detection can be performed before power is transmitted to ensure that the positive and negative poles are turned on and the power is turned on after the plug is inserted. Leading to contact results in the adverse consequences of arc injury and burn-in. In the future, companies will need to develop similar intelligent technologies for other products.
Precision connector technology
Precision connectors involve many links such as product design, process technology and quality control technology. China Terminal Block The main technologies include the following aspects:
1. Precision mold processing technology: Adopting CAD, CAM and other technologies, introducing high-precision processing equipment in the industry, using personnel production experience and advanced equipment and technical means to achieve high-precision high-quality mold products.
2. Precision stamping and precision injection molding technology: To achieve all-round control of precise, efficient and stable all kinds of stamping parts and injection parts and perfect surface quality to ensure product quality.
3. Automated assembly technology: Through the application of precision control technology and semi-automatic detection machine technology, it overcomes the problem of manual operation of precision products and improves core competitiveness.
