System Type: Growing significance of sealed connector systems for outdoor and heavy-duty applications

Sealed connector systems are designed to prevent the ingress of water, dust, and other contaminants, ensuring a high level of protection for electrical connections in demanding environments. These systems are typically preferred for external applications where connectors are exposed to the natural environment, such as charging ports on the exterior of EVs. Unsealed connector systems lack protective seals but are typically cost-effective and easier to install and maintain. They are suited to protected environments where exposure to contaminants is limited, such as interior vehicle applications or enclosed charging stations.

Application: Higher demand for EV connectors in ADAS systems

Electric vehicle (EV) connectors play a critical role in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and safety systems, facilitating reliable and high-speed data transmission necessary for sensors, cameras, and control units. These connectors ensure that vital safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure warnings, and adaptive cruise control operate efficiently to enhance vehicle safety and support the driver in navigating complex driving scenarios. EV connectors used within battery management systems (BMS) provide secure electrical connections and withstand the rigors of thermal management, data communication, and power distribution, all while ensuring safety features, including isolation monitoring and fault detection. Connectors within the body control and interior domain facilitate the seamless functioning of a vehicle's features, such as lighting, access controls, climate systems, and window operations. Connectors in powertrain applications excel in power delivery and thermal control, ensuring that the power electronics, inverters, and electric motors communicate effectively for optimal propulsion and regeneration. Connectors for EV infotainment systems play a significant role in the integration and performance of multimedia, navigation, and connectivity features. They support high-speed data transfer and power supply that align with the increasing demands for sophisticated user interfaces, touchscreen displays, and connectivity options, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly in-vehicle infotainment experience. The application of EV connectors in vehicle lighting encompasses the power supply and also the data communication needed for advanced lighting systems. These connectors provide reliable performance for systems such as LED headlamps, taillights, and interior lighting, enhancing the aesthetic appeal, safety, and visibility of the vehicle.
