Four basic structural components of automotive connectors: 1. The contact piece is the core part of the electrical connection function of the automobile connector. The contact pair is generally composed of a male contact and a female contact, and the electrical connection is completed by the insertion of the female contact and the male contact. The male contact piece is a rigid piece, and the shape is cylindrical (round pin), square cylindrical (square pin) or flat cylindrical (insert piece). Contacts are generally made of brass and phosphor bronze. The female contact or socket is the key part of the contact pair. It relies on the elastic deformation of the elastic structure when it is inserted into the pin to generate elastic force to form close contact with the male contact to complete the connection. There are many types of jacks, including cylindrical (split, shrink), tuning fork, cantilever (longitudinal slot), folded (longitudinal slot, 9-shaped), box (square jack) and double Curved wire spring jacks. 2. The housing, also known as the housing, is an automotive connector cover that provides mechanical protection for the built-in insulating mounting plate and pins, and provides alignment of the plug and socket to secure the connector to the device. 3. Insulators, insulator connectors are also often referred to as automotive connector bases or mounting plates. Its function is to arrange the contacts according to the required position and spacing to ensure the insulation performance between the contacts and between the contacts and the housing. Good insulation resistance, withstand voltage and processing performance are the basic requirements for selecting insulating materials to process 1 automotive connectors. 4. Accessories, accessories are divided into structural accessories and installation accessories. Structural accessories such as retaining rings, positioning keys, positioning pins, guide pins, coupling rings, cable clamps, sealing rings, gaskets and other accessories. Mounting accessories such as screws, nuts, threaded rods, spring rings, etc. Most accessories have standard and universal parts. It is these four basic structural components that enable automotive connectors to act as bridges and operate stably.
