德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Develops Heat-resistant Low Insertion Force Cu-Sn Plating for Automobile Terminals
- Heat-resistant with lower 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 makes material ideal for wire harness terminals -
德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 Co., Ltd. has developed Heat-resistant Low Insertion Force Cu-Sn Plating that offers both heat resistance and low insertion force characteristics, as a contact material (terminal material) for small connector terminals found in automobile wire harnesses.
德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴(note 1)from copper (Cu) and tin (Sn) on the surface, that offers both low 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 and fretting-resistance(note 2)—two qualities required by materials used for small connector terminals. 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 plans to begin shipping samples this spring.
(note 1)德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴:
A compound formed from two or more types of metals. It exhibits different properties from those of single metals. Two types of 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴s formed from copper and tin are generally known. These compounds offer a variety of properties, such as being harder than tin alone.
(note 2)Fretting:
A phenomenon where automobile vibrations create extremely small vibrations in terminal contacts, shaving the tin plating layer down and creating abrasion powder. Oxidation of this abrasion powder causes contact defects between contacts.
Background
Following recent increases in the amount of electronics and wires mounted in automobiles, the connector terminals in automobile wire harnesses continue to undergo multipolarization and grow smaller (thinner). The 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 per terminal is tending to increase, causing workability during vehicle assembly to suffer.
There are also an increasing number of cases where terminals are used in high-temperature environments (such as near engine compartments) due to mounting space considerations. There is therefore a demand for connector terminal plating material that supports multipolarization, offers low 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴, and offers connection reliability in high-temperature environments.
Content
德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 has developed Heat-resistant Low Insertion Force Cu-Sn Plating that offers low insertion force and the same low contact resistance as conventional products. This plating forms an intermetallic compound layer from copper and tin, that results in an insertion force that is roughly 20% lower than that of conventional low insertion force tin plating, and a surface intermetallic compound layer that is resistant to being shaved off. It therefore helps to curb contact resistance from increasing due to fretting.
In addition to small terminals that are susceptible to fretting, this plating is capable of reducing 德赢ac米兰官方合作伙伴 for large connectors that require auxiliary mechanisms for insertion, making it ideal as a connector terminal material for automobile wire harnesses.
