New Application Direction of Industrial Connectors - Electric Vehicles

Although it seems that EVs have some shortcomings, such as lack of motivation, low safety and inconvenient charging, EVs have generally become a new industry growth point and a new trend of development has become irresistible. This trend is bound to be a rare new opportunity for our connector industry. Experts estimate that 600-1,000 electronic connectors per car will be used in the future. PLCC connector

Although it seems that EVs have some shortcomings, such as lack of motivation, low safety and inconvenient charging, EVs have generally become a new industry growth point and a new trend of development has become irresistible. This trend is bound to be a rare new opportunity for our connector industry. Experts estimate that 600-1,000 electronic connectors per car will be used in the future, far greater than the number used today. In the era of electric vehicles, on the other hand, the use of high-capacity lithium batteries is one of the common denominators in the design choices for hybrid electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles. Therefore, the overall improvement of automotive electronic and electric architectures is required and connectors bear the brunt.

This growth rate shows that manufacturers of electric vehicles, household and road charging stations, and related new products such as charging cables are facing huge market opportunities. The trend in EVs is accompanied by a change in vehicle fuel. While traditional cars are still dependent on fossil fuels, avant-garde EVs will be connected to the Smart Grid, a more efficient new power transmission infrastructure. As more and more electric vehicles and related equipment are introduced one after another, in order to meet the ever-increasing market demand, more hardware, software and applicable spare parts have emerged. However, in addition to the related industrial supply chain, the quest for faster R & D speed, if you want to gain a firm foothold in this emerging market, the primary consideration should still be whether consumers have confidence in the safety of electric vehicles and their related application components.

The electric car connector refers to the combination of plug and socket, as well as a combination of connectors and connectors, the main function of ** is the power transmitted from the car to the car, and the device will contain a As a power, grounding, communication and navigation control with plastic shell contacts. Despite the current SAE J1772? Has been designated as a standard device in the United States, but with different structures of other devices can still be tolerated. In addition, the housing material used for the connector must be a polymer insulation and must have a specific burn rating, electrical and thermal characteristics. The company is located in:

To ensure the safety of drivers and service technicians in high-voltage environments, we must consider the complexities of electrical systems to ensure reliability and reliability. The connection system is a key component of high-voltage electrical connections, especially the design of high-power lines. In terms of safety, attention should be paid to the two aspects of high-voltage connection system design, ie, the environmental sealing of high-voltage interlocking circuits (HVIL) and connectors (avoiding short-circuits between high-voltage terminals when the vehicle is in use).

As the line is not sealed may cause such as short circuit failure mode, so the high pressure line sealing is essential. As you know, water and electricity are incompatible. Using a wire ring seal and a connector peripheral seal allows the connector to be truly sealed, ensuring moisture does not enter and does not cause overheating or sparking. High-voltage systems require a more rugged seal than traditional 12V systems because the higher the voltage, the greater the chance of flashover.

High Voltage Interlock (HVIL) is a feature of high-power connection systems that are necessary to prevent the connectors used in power electronics from being switched off and on. Special care must be taken to ensure that the connection system does not break when energized. When the connector is about to be disconnected, the high voltage interlock circuit will send a signal to cut off the power in time. This feature is necessary in the event of an accident or when maintenance personnel need to disconnect the power supply for vehicle maintenance, which helps to protect passengers, maintenance personnel or accidental responders.
