Automotive connectors

What is an automotive connector?

As the name suggests, automotive connectors are accessories that help connect wires together. Basically, the connectors are mainly used to facilitate the electrical assemblies embedded in the car system, but above all to secure the assemblies in question.

As a result, there is a wide choice of connectors due to their diversity. This is then based on the nature on the one hand, and the location depending on the desired purposes. To fulfill their roles and fulfill their functionality, automotive connectors are made from materials that are resistant to hydrocarbon-based products and mixtures, and which are also insulating.

Good to know :

The design of the connectors is interwoven by the presence of terminals, which are essential elements for entangling and connecting the wires. Therefore, the nesting of the wires involves the use of a male crimp terminal and a female crimp terminal. Due to the particularity of automotive connectors, it is possible to find multiple shapes of terminals, given that there are a myriad of types of connectors.

However, it is important to know that the connectors can accommodate several lugs and therefore connect several cables and wires. The essential thing is to know the adaptability of the connectors to the desired circuits and electrical assemblies.

The different types of automotive connectors

As mentioned above, there are different types and ranges of automotive connectors, mainly:

•          Superseal waterproof connectors
•          Mate Nlok Connectors
•          Electronic injection connectors
•          Power connectors

Furthermore, the connectors also come from several renowned brands in the field, including Deutsch automotive connectors.

At AutoTruck42, there is a complete range of automotive connectors, whether for heavy goods vehicles or utility cars.

How to choose your automotive connector?

To find the best automotive connector, it is important to focus on the quality of the product. Must be weatherproof,heat and conditions susceptible to corrosion, connectors must reflect certain characteristics such as the robustness of the material, the quality of the product.

But as there are several types of circuits, the prerequisite is to ensure the adaptation of the connectors in relation to the assembly. This must then take into account the dimensions and usage characteristics.

So as not to get lost in the multitude of choices available to you, AutoTruck42 helps you. We have a wide range of automotive connectors categorized according to your needs, namely:

•          Multi-way waterproof Superseal connectors
•          Deutsch connectors
•          AMP type connectors
•          Injection connectors
•        Mate and Lok type AMP connectors
•          Power connectors

The usefulness of automotive connectors

Mainly, connectors are assigned in an electrical circuit, for automobiles or not, in order to ensure the connection of electrical cables and wires and thus close the circuit. In a certain way, automotive connectors then serve to facilitate electrical assemblies for cars.

Subsequently, the connectors are given other functions including the protection of automobile electrical circuits. Indeed, faced with vibrations, humidity and harsh travel conditions, the connectors protect the connection points and ensure the proper functioning of the systems.
