Automotive Connectors, Terminals, and Components

The automotive industry relies on these components for manufacturing, maintaining, and repairing vehicles, ensuring that all of the electrical connections and systems are updated and reliable for their efficient operation.

  • Relays

    Relays are electrical devices that act as switches controlled by an electrical signal. They are commonly used in electrical and electronic circuits to control a high-power circuit using a low-power signal. Relays consist of a coil, an electromagnet, and one or more switch contacts. When an electrical current flows through the coil, it generates a magnetic field that causes the switch contacts to open or close, depending on the relay type.

  • Tape and Reel Components

    For electronics manufacturers, tapes and reel components are very important since they can be relied on for automated assembly processes, improving efficiency and precision.

  • Switches

    Switches are electrical or electronic devices that control the flow of electric current in a circuit by opening or closing the circuit. They are used to make or break connections, allowing or interrupting the passage of electricity. Switches come in various types, including mechanical switches, such as toggle switches and push-button switches, and solid-state switches like transistors and semiconductor switches.

  • Resistors

    Resistors are fundamental components in electronics manufacturing, allowing precise control of electrical current in various devices and systems.

  • Terminals

    These include endpoints of wires or cables that connect to electrical components, connectors, or other parts of a circuit. They are typically designed to provide a secure and reliable connection, ensuring the flow of electricity between the electrical component and the wire. Terminals come in various forms, such as blade terminals, ring terminals, and spade terminals, and they are often used in conjunction with connectors to make electrical connections in vehicles, appliances, and electrical systems.

  • Plastic Connectors

    Manufacturers use plastic connectors in various industries, such as electronics and automotive, to create reliable electrical connections and simplify assembly processes.

  • Capacitors

    Capacitors are passive electronic components that store and release electrical energy. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material called a dielectric. When a voltage is applied across the plates, an electric field forms within the dielectric, and electric charge accumulates on the plates. This charge can be stored and later released.

  • Automotive Fuses

    Switches are electrical or electronic devices that control the flow of electric current in a circuit by opening or closing the circuit. They are used to make or break connections, allowing or interrupting the passage of electricity. Switches come in various types, including mechanical switches, such as toggle switches and push-button switches, and solid-state switches like transistors and semiconductor switches.
