What is a Automotive connector?

An in-vehicle connector is a component dedicated to automobiles that connects the wiring for automobiles. As automobiles have advanced communication functions and their performance has improved, the number of electronic circuits and parts has increased, and many types of in-vehicle connectors have been developed. In addition, electric vehicles are now on sale and dedicated connectors are being used for charging and discharging. There are many in-vehicle connectors to suit the humidity, temperature, vibration, water and other sensors installed in automobiles and their environment. We have a lineup from minute signals of connecting wiring to high power.

Application of Automotive connector

Since all the connectors used for wiring automobiles are called in-vehicle connectors, there are many connectors such as FPC connectors, inter-board connectors, and coaxial connectors. Plastic suitable for special applications is used to adapt to the environment of the place of use such as oil resistance, vibration resistance, heat resistance, waterproofing, etc., and gold plating is used to improve the reliability of the contact part. If the connector should come off, it could lead to a serious accident, so many connectors have high vibration resistance.
