The Relationship Between Low-voltage Automotive Plug & Socket Connector Contacts and Automatic Driving

Definition of Low-voltage Automotive Plug & Socket Connector Contacts

Low-voltage automotive plug & socket connector contacts refer to components used for wiring harness connections. Their function is to transmit power from the battery pack to various systems and components of the vehicle, such as motors, controllers, instrument panels, etc. Automatic driving is a technology that enables cars to drive and control autonomously without human intervention. Although the two are unrelated, low-voltage automotive electrical terminals are important in developing autonomous driving technology.

There is a close connection between low-voltage automotive connector terminals and automatic driving, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

• New energy automotive low-voltage wire terminals are a bridge of connecting the power supply and controller in the autonomous driving system. Autonomous driving systems need to rely on many sensors and computing devices to obtain and process real-time environmental information and then control the driving and manoeuvring of the vehicle through the controller. These sensors and computing devices all require a stable power supply, and low-voltage automotive terminal pins provide this function. By connecting the battery pack to the controller, the pin&socket crimp contacts transfer power from the battery pack to the controller for use by sensors and computing devices.

• Another important role of new energy low-voltage plug & socket connector contacts in the autonomous driving system is to transmit data. Autonomous driving systems must acquire and process a large amount of data in real-time, including vehicle sensor data, map data, real-time traffic conditions, etc. The transmission of these data is inseparable from the support of wiring harness terminals. Automotive wire terminals transmit various data to controllers and computing devices for processing by connecting sensors and computing devices. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure stable data transmission to meet the autonomous driving system’s real-time and accuracy requirements.

• New energy automotive low-voltage wire crimpterminals also play the role of information exchange links in the autonomous driving system. The autonomous driving system must realize vehicle and human-computer interaction, including displaying vehicle speed, navigation information, driving mode selection, etc. These functions need to be realized through equipment such as instrument panels. And the instrument panels need to be connected to the controller through automotive connector contacts. Automotive crimp terminals realize information interaction between vehicles and humans and machines by transmitting data.

Conclusion

With the continuous development and improvement of autonomous driving technology, low-voltage crimp contacts will also be continuously improved and optimized to meet higher autonomous driving needs. In the wire harness manufacturing process, manufacturers should pay more attention to material selection, processing, and connection quality control. Besides, they should rationally select appropriate processing and connection methods to improve the reliability of terminal connections. At the same time, quality inspection and verification of terminal connections should be strengthened to detect. And deal with problems on time to ensure the reliability and stability of the wiring harness.
