What Gauge Is Trailer Wire?   Aichie Tech Electronic makes trailer cables that are very durable and soft even for cold winter use. Because our sheath thickness is thicker than other factories. So our cables are resistant to friction and can move freely. Our trailer harness is also oil resistant.   The specifications of the trailer cable you choose will depend on the type of trailer and the application of the trailer cable. Suppose you are buying trailer cables for a 7-blade RV connector. In general, for 7-way trailer wire connectors, experts recommend using wire 12AWG for red or black (power) wire, white (ground) wire, and blue (brake power) wire. However, 16 gauge trailer wire is the minimum recommended for the remaining connections, including brown (tail light) wire, yellow (left turn/brake) wire, green (right turn/brake) wire, and purple (reverse light) trailer  cable.   However, if you want to connect different types of applications, your choice of trailer wiring will change. For example, if you have a 8 foot x 35 trailer and you intend to place heavy objects on it, you may need heavier trailer cables to support the application. As a general rule, a project like this usually requires a 16 awg trailer wire. However, if the trailer is longer, you may need a heavier wire gauge - for example, maybe a 14 gauge trailer wire will solve the problem, or maybe even a 12 gauge specification might be called for.   Now turn to slightly different trailer cable application. If you have a 10-foot camper and are working on projects such as license plate lights and wiring of two brake lights, your trailer cable size will be different from the first two applications. In general, if you use LED lights, then a 16awg trailer cable should be fine.   But some types of lights use more power than leds, or your lights may be more than a "typical" trailer. In this case, your choice of trailer cable must also be changed. In this case, a heavy duty trailer cable is recommended. For example, on a 7-way connector, running more lights than usual, or lighting multiple lights at once requires 14/7 trailer wire or even thicker wires, such as 12/7 AWG.   How to install trailer cable?   The general process for installing trailer cables is the same/similar for all applications, regardless of the trailer wire size you use. However, the specifics vary when it comes to the number of connectors involved in trailer wiring.   To correctly install 4-way trailer cable, you can refer to the following wire connection coding:   Ground = White Tail/Running lights = Brown Left turn/Brake = Yellow Right turn/Brake = Green   Note that when using a 4-wire tow line, the left/brake light (yellow) line connector is marked with "L", while the right/brake (green) tow line connector is marked with "R" it.       However, when using a 7-core trailer ...

Busbar concept: The busbar refers to the use of a high -electricity copper and aluminum material for transmission of electrical energy and distribution of power capabilities. The total wire of the power station or the transformation station conveyor power can be used. Through it, the electric energy output from the generator, a transformer or a rectifier is transported to each user or other substations.     In the power system, the busbar is connected to each load branch circuit in the power distribution device, which plays a role in gathering, allocating, and transmitting electrical energy. According to the appearance and structure, the bus is roughly divided into the following three categories: 1. Hard busbar: Including rectangular bus, circular busbar, tube -shaped busbar, etc. 2. Soft bus: Including aluminum twisted wires, copper twisted wires, steel core aluminum twisted cables, diameter hollow wires, etc. 3. Close bus: Including the bulk box, the division of the busbar, etc.   Performance characteristics of energy storage cabinet busbar:   The busbar is used in copper or aluminum busbar, with large current density, small resistance, small skin effect, and no need to use. Small voltage reduction means that energy loss is small, and ultimately saving users' investment.   For the cable, because the cable core is multiple copper wires, the root area is larger than that of the busbar of the same current level. And its "skin effect" is serious, reducing the current rated value, increasing the voltage drop, and easy to heat. The energy loss of the wire is great and easy to aging..   Looking at the drawing cabinet drawing, you must first be familiar with the icons of each electrical component, because there are many multiple devices in the power distribution cabinet, and the physical objects and icons of the component can be seen one by one. The role and constituent principle are better, and it is more helpful for the icons. You can search on Google to have a lot of web pages. Bookstores also have books: books such as primary electrical appliances, you can find it.   The installation requirements of the power distribution board (box) are: the power distribution board (box) application is made of non -flammable materials; the production place and office with less dangerous electric shock can be installed with an open power distribution board; Poor processing workshops, casting, forging, heat treatment, boiler room, woodworking room and other places should be installed with closed -type cabinets; in dangerous operating places with conductive dust or produce flammable and explosive gas, they must be installed with closed or explosion -proof type Electric facilities; power distribution boards (boxes) of each electrical component, instrument, switch and cables should be arranged neatly, firm installation, and convenient operation; Generally, 1.2 ～ 1.5m; non -obstacles w...

It was the beginning of the world's rush to build smart homes.     Home Automation home automation refers to the use of microprocessing electronic technology to integrate or control electrical and electronic products or systems in the home, such as lighting, coffee ovens, computer equipment, security systems, heating and cooling systems, video and audio systems. Home automation systems mainly use a central microprocessor to receive information from relevant electronic and electrical products (changes in external environmental factors, such as the sun rising or setting light changes, etc.), and then send appropriate information to other electronic and electrical products through established procedures. The microprocessor must control the home's electrical products through a number of interfaces, such as keyboards, touch screens, buttons, computers, telephones, remote controls, etc. The consumer can send signals to, or receive signals from, the central microprocessor.   Home automation is an important system of smart home, in the presence of smart home just, home automation and even equa...

IPC-WHMA-620 Industry StandardThis is the appearance acceptance standard for cable assembly negotiated by the Cable Assembly Association and the Electronic Connection Products Committee. If there is no standard for process inspection and finished product inspection, IPC/WHMA-A-620 can be used as the inspection standard document for products alone. It specifies process control or defective products that allow repair/rework. This information suggests that it needs to be improved by statistical process control plan (refer to IPC-9191).   Although IPC/WHMA-A-620 is an industry standard, it does not cover all designs. However, it provides process standards for general products. If non-universal or special processes are used, a unique acceptance standard can be established. This unique acceptance standard should include customer requirements or promises, and should include acceptable standards for each feature. If possible, new standards or special standards for products should be submitted to the IPC Committee for standard improvement form, so that the IPC Committee can update the version.

The connector industry set a new sales record in 2022   Connection industry sales volume(2022) The connection device industry increased +7.8% in 2022, and global sales reached $84.1 billion US dollars. This is a new industry sales record. The following table shows the sales performance in 2022 according to the geographical area.   It is worth noting that North America achieved sales growth better than China in 2022. In fact, North America has performed better than China in the past five years. China may continue to exceed North America in terms of sales growth.       First of all, China's labor costs have risen, creating opportunities for other countries to compete in Western investment. Secondly, China's "zero -new crown policy" may lead to the closure of some companies.     The effect of currency and inflation The US dollar strongly strengthened in 2022, reducing the actual growth of the industry. Calculated in the US dollar, the industry has achieved +7.8% of sales growth, but the calculation of local currency has only achieved +2.0% growth. The following table explains this.   Considering that the global inflation rate between 2022 is between 8% and 10%, the industry implements prices in the same range. Measured by the unit, the connectioner industry may not grow.   As of the release, the financial performance of the year in 2022 has not been announced, but we believe that the rise in prices can offset the rise in raw materials and labor costs. Interestingly, we expect that the profitability of the connector in 2022 from good to excellent.     Healthy backlog of Connector in 2023  The preliminary voltage voltage order in 2023 was $ 22.983 billion or $14.8 billion weeks of sales. In 2021 years, the average sales of our quarterly sales were US $23.202.2 billion. Therefore, we should have enough backlog orders to achieve the flat or low -digit sales in the first quarter.     Please note that Amphenol and TE Connectivity predict that the first quarter of 2023 sales were -2.8% and -2.7%, respectively. Bishop forecast sales growth +0.5%. We believe that the industry may do better than these predictions, because: The results of Amphenol and TE are usually exceeded expected. The backlog is enough to grow in the first quarter.   The following shows the predictions of Amphenol, TE and the industry in the first quarter of 2023.    In the fourth quarter of the connector industry, sales increased +2.0%. This is lower than 2022 +7.8%, which indicates that demand is slowing. In addition, this trend is confirmed that amphenol has achieved +7.0% growth in the fourth quarter, while the whole year is +16.1%, and the fourth quarter of TE achieved +0.6% growth and +9.1% throughout the year. Both strong indicators indicate that the demand is slow. The forecast of Amphenol and TE's negative growth in the first quarter further proves the economic slowdown.   Consensus is t...

In 2020, China's automobile production will be 25.225 million units. It is estimated that the annual output value of China's automotive electronics wiring harness products will exceed 50 billion yuan with the price of 2,000 yuan per single wire harness. The development of automotive wiring harness industry is highly dependent on the automobile industry, and most of the brand car manufacturers have their own mature and stable automobile supporting system. In particular, international automobile enterprises represented by German, American and Japanese companies carry out strict assessment and evaluation on parts suppliers. Their long-term high standard requirements for parts make the combination of automotive wiring harness suppliers and automobile enterprises relatively stable. It is difficult to change the traditional supply chain of automobiles. In addition, the formulation of standards in the automobile field is crucial, and standards determine the market. In terms of the domestic market, most of the large self-owned auto manufacturers have local wiring harness factories with stable supporting production, while foreign-invested and joint-venture auto manufacturers have higher requirements for wiring harness. Most of the wiring harness manufacturers selected are wholly owned or joint ventures of international component manufacturers in China.   In recent years, as international automobile manufacturers pay more attention to cost control and the localized purchase of auto parts is increasingly strengthened, a number of excellent autonomous wiring harness enterprises have emerged in China. Through long-term accumulation of product technology and synchronous development experience, these high-quality local enterprises have significantly enhanced their overall strength, and gradually entered the supplier supporting system of international automobile manufacturers with timely and effective service and reliable product quality.     As the new energy vehicle（Electric vehicle）market is an emerging market, no matter international or local manufacturers have too many existing products to promote, so the strength of suppliers' research and development ability will determine their share in the new energy vehicle market. In the process of rapid development of new energy vehicles（EV）, wiring harnesses are one of the most important auto parts, mainly including EV car wiring harnesses, BMS wiring harnesses, Energy storage wiring harnesses,etc. as the new energy lithium battery is very unstable, battery management system (BMS) as the core technology plays a pivotal role. The BMS wiring harness is the most important and plays the role of the nerve center. In BMS wiring harness, there are many sensors besides wires. Vehicle batteries are new and cannot be done by traditional automakers (the supply chain system of traditional automakers is difficult to change). However, they have high requirements on wiring harness, which must be short,thin and ...

In the latest news, the first version of the latest standard UL2263-Standard for Electric Vehicle Cable (electric vehicle cable standard) was released on May 09, 2022. Electric vehicle cables were originally described in Section 4.8 of the UL62 standard, and have been replaced by the UL2263 standard. Therefore, you should refer to the new UL2263 standard during certification and testing.     There are six models of UL2263, namely EVJ EV; EVJE EVE; EVJT EVT    Group 1: Thermosetting material insulation type: EVJ EV Type EVJ — Rated 300 V, contains two to six 18-12 AWG thermoset-insulated circuit conductors, and may employ one or more insulated grounding conductors. The cable may contain hybrid data, signal, communications, and/or optical fiber cable in any AWG size.   Type EV — Rated 1000 V, contains two or more 18 AWG to 500 kcmil thermoset-insulated circuit conductors, and may employ one or more insulated grounding conductors. The cable may contain hybrid data, signal, communications, and/or optical fiber cable in any AWG size.   The insulation materials used for EVJ and EV are mainly thermosetting materials (such as EP, CR, CSM, CPE, etc.) CR: polychloroprene; CSM:chloro-sulphonyl-polyethylene; CPE: chlorinated polyethylene; EP: ethylene propylene rubber   Group 2: thermoplastic elastomer insulation model: EVJE EVE   Type EVJE — Rated 300 V, same as Type EVJ except that the cable employs thermoplastic-elastomer-insulated conductors and jacket. Type EVE — Rated 1000 V, same as Type EV except that the cable employs thermoplastic-elastomer-insulated conductors.   EVJE,EVE mainly use thermoplastic elastomer materials (such as TPE, etc.)   Group 3: thermoplastic insulation model: EVJT EVT Type EVJT — Rated 300 V, same as Type EVJ except that the cable employs thermoplastic (PVC) insulated conductors. Type EVT — Rated 1000 V, same as Type EV except that the cable employs thermoplastic (PVC). EVJT,EVT insulation materials are mainly thermoplastic materials (such as PVC, etc.)     2 .Voltage This standard UL2263 specifies the requirements for electric vehicle cables rated up to 1000VAC and DC. Three voltage levels are available: 300V, 600V, and 1000V.   3.Temperature It is rated at 60 °C, 75 °C, 90 °C, or 105 °C UL2263 has four temperature levels: 60 °C, 75 °C, 90 °C, and 105 °C. Compared with the European standard EN50620 and the national standard GBT33594, the maximum temperature resistance is 90 degrees, so the temperature of the United States UL standard is much higher. 60 to 105°C (140 to 221°F) dry: Dry environment (mainly indoor) : 60 to 105°C 60°C (140°F) wet: Wet environment: 60°C exposed to oil at 60°C (140°F) where exposed to oil: Exposed to oil at 60°C   4.Conductors Conductors shall be of annealed copper in compliance with A...

The EV battery connector has made further progress Electric vehicle batteries are being improved, and the new interconnected products that support them have been optimized to manage the entire vehicle's high-voltage power flow with extremely high safety and efficiency.   Range anxiety - the fear that the battery of an electric vehicle will run out of power and leave you stranded by the roadside - has long been one of the main obstacles to the adoption of electric vehicles. However, with the expansion of charging infrastructure and the improvement of battery technology, this obstacle has begun to diminish. The electric vehicle database sets the average EV range at 331 kilometers (205 miles), with the top-ranked model reaching 434 kilometers (269 miles). This makes commuting and errands within easy reach, especially for homeowners who plug in electricity at home. Take a look at the evolution of the Chevrolet Bolt battery series. In 2017, the original battery of the Bolt was a 60 kWh battery pack, with an EPA range of 238 miles. Then there was the battery recall, which affected the models from 2017 to 2019. The car manufacturer has increased the vehicle's range by 13% through its 2022 66 kWh battery pack replacement solution. In the high-end segment, Tesla is collaborating with Panasonic on a new high-density battery project, which will increase its driving range by 20%. The Model S can currently travel 585 kilometers (263 miles) per charge. Meanwhile, the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles is also expanding rapidly worldwide. Europe plans to add at least one fast charging station every 60 kilometers by 2025. In May 2022 alone, China built 87,000 public charging stations. In the United States, California leads with over 14,627 public charging stations, but even the sparsely populated state of North Dakota recently announced a plan to add one charging station every 50 miles along the two interstate highways that run through the state.   Major developments in electric vehicle battery pack technology include the use of new battery chemicals such as lithium tungsten, zinc manganese oxide, organosilicon electrolyte, gold nanowire gel electrolyte and hydrogen. Researchers from automakers and original equipment manufacturers of batteries and battery packs are expanding the ability of batteries to store more energy, charge faster and operate at lower temperatures. By improving the cables and connectors, these battery compositions are supported throughout the electric drive system. These improvements reduce the size of the component structure and the cables, enhance thermal management, and enable high-voltage currents to pass through the system more quickly. TE Connectivity estimates that up to 40% of the total bill of materials for new EVs can be attributed to the contents of their battery packs. Even if performance improves, the cost of batteries is still decreasing. To achieve fast charging, we need to be capable of carrying a current...
