Harness connector is a kind of plug or socket£¬Used within a product to connect or disconnect different circuits. The connector in automotive applications is used to connect the various electronic and electrical modules of the vehicle (Light modules, electric mirror modules, electric seat modules, entertainment modules etc) to the main control circuits within the vehicle. This enables the auto makers to buy modules from their tier 1 suppliers and just “plug in” during the vehicle production process. It is also a good service aid, making removal and replacement more easy

It is normal for all connector housings to have a latching mechanism built in, this is to ensure the two connectors (male and female) do not detach through vibration and the electronic connection remains stable.

Harness connector removal method

To disassemble the connector, first release the latch and then pull the connector out. It is not permissible to pull on the harness without releasing the latch, which can damage the latch or the connection harness.

Harness Connector Features

Such as automotive wiring harness connector, is connected to various automotive electrical and electronic equipment, an important component used to supply power to all the electronic and electrical modules within the vehicle. Such as power, switches, electrical and electronic devices to transfer electrical signals, known as the electronic control module of the car, is the vehicle’s process control center for carrying the electrical signal. Main features: 1. Monopolar 75 amp connectors and terminals; 2. Operating voltage: 600 V, (AC or DC can be); 3. Plug and pull life: more than 5000 times; 4. Withstand voltage insulation voltage: 2200 V; 5. On resistance: 100 micro-ohms.

Application of Harness Connector Products

Harness connector products are used in automotive, home appliances, instrumentation, office equipment, commercial machines, electronic components and electronic control panels, used in digital products, household appliances, automotive industry. With the increase of car functions, the common application of electronic control technology will grow steadily and more electrical and electronic parts will increase the number of harnesses required. The steady growth of the Electric car market throughout the world will also add more complexity to the harness product.

Harness connector market prospects

In recent years, the rapid growth of China's mobile phone output led to a large number of mobile phone connector needs. Mobile phone connector to the battery connector, SIM card connector, FPC connector the largest demand, accounting for about 50% of the total demand. According to the Global Sources Market Research report, in the computer and consumer electronics market, boosted by the outstanding demand, China's mainland connector market will show double-digit growth. Many local connector manufacturers are starting from the mold development or manufacturing, and then will gradually penetrate into the connector manufacturing market. With mold development, manufacturing and plastic molding capabilities, they have considerable competitive advantages in terms of both cost control and the ability to respond quickly to customers and the market.
