JAE Offers Ideal Sizes for Compact Modules
In the course of gathering information, the design engineer heard about a European auto manufacturer that was using connectors manufactured by JAE. His interest piqued; he immediately made enquiries. He learned that JAE supplied connectors to many different automotive manufacturers and offered a large range of compact connectors. When he described the issues, he was experiencing with the new BMS application, the JAE representative suggested the MX77 series of connectors.
The MX77 series uses 0.4 mm terminals, which are ideal for miniature and slim-line housings, and testing has verified its terminal retention force to be about 50 N. The MX77 series connectors also offers all the performance required of automotive applications by making overheating-prone pins out of highly thermally conductive materials to reduce overheating. He breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he could use JAE connectors for the battery and BMS in confidence.
Without further ado, the design engineer built a prototype using the sample connectors provided, which he subjected to testing. As per JAE’s advice, the MX77 series scored highly in terms of both quality and performance.
“The MX77 series connectors satisfied all of our requirements. These connectors are also backed up by comprehensive documentation on their ability to reduce overheating. Feeling that they were more reliable than the other options, we decided to use JAE MX77 series connectors. We realized that by having JAE involved in the project from the upstream design phase, we would be able to resolve various connector-related issues early on,” says the engineer.
The company’s development is currently proceeding smoothly with support from JAE.
