New energy connector VS common connector

The automotive sector is the largest market for connectors, accounting for 23.70% of the global connector industry. In the automotive connector application of the largest plate, new energy vehicles are the biggest bright spot. With the rise of new energy vehicles, China’s connector enterprises successfully cut into the industry chain of new energy vehicles.

There are nearly 100 kinds of electronic connectors used by traditional cars. Connectors used by single models are mainly applied in engine management system, safety system, entertainment system and so on. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, the demand for connectors for new energy vehicles has increased significantly. The traditional fuel automobile bicycle uses low-voltage connector, while the material cost, shielding, flame retardant requirements and other performance indicators of the high-pressure connector are higher than the traditional low-voltage connector, and the value of the connector used by the new energy automobile bicycle is much higher than the low-voltage connector.

In new energy vehicles, the high voltage connector is an extremely important component, which is applied in the three electric systems, high voltage systems and charging facilities. The main application scenarios of high-voltage connectors on the vehicle are: DC, PTC charger for water heating, PTC for air heating, DC charging port, power motor, high-voltage wiring harness, maintenance switch, inverter, power battery, high-voltage box, electric air conditioning, AC charging port, etc.

Because the quality and precision of high-voltage connector products directly affect the electrical, mechanical and environmental performance of the connector, and then affect the safety of electric vehicles, the quality requirements and manufacturing accuracy of high-voltage connector are relatively high, belonging to the high-end products with high added value in the connector field.

China’s connector after years of technological accumulation, as well as in advance of the layout of new energy vehicles, whether in the design capacity or automated production capacity, has met the technical level of the new energy vehicle connector requirements.
