Cars are comfortable, fast and safe, and have become an indispensable means of transportation in modern life. Therefore, the car market is huge and developing rapidly. This year, we will talk about the relevant knowledge of connectors in car wiring harnesses. Many people know that there are hundreds of connectors in a car. But do you know how to classify the types of car connectors?
Generally speaking, the types of car connectors can be classified from six aspects: electrical function, installation location, connection structure, shape specification, size specification, and working frequency:
- By electrical function: electronic control module (on-board computer), lamp socket, temperature sensor, central electrical box, air conditioning wiring harness, audio entertainment.
- By installation location: chassis system, dashboard, engine system, safety system.
- By connection structure: wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-board, flexible printed circuit FPC, chip packaging (IC pin type).
- By size specification: rectangular, circular.
- By shape specification: circular connector (ordinary, coaxial), rectangular connector (sealed, unsealed).
- By working frequency: low frequency and high frequency (with 3 MHz as the boundary).
