Speed Sensor Connector and Cable Assembly

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Connector / Cable Assembly

Definition

This connector and cable assembly is a component designed for speed sensors, serving as the electrical interface that transmits rotational speed signals from the sensor to control systems and provides necessary power connections. It ensures reliable data transmission and electrical continuity in industrial and automotive applications. The assembly typically includes copper alloy contacts, PVC or TPE insulation, shielding braid, and a polyamide housing. Key parameters include 2 to 12 contacts, contact resistance up to 10 mΩ (IEC 60512-2), insulation resistance at least 100 MΩ at 500 V DC (IEC 60512-3), dielectric withstanding voltage of 500 to 1500 V AC for 1 minute (IEC 60512-4), rated current of 1 to 5 A per contact, rated voltage of 24 to 60 V DC, operating temperature from -40 to 125 °C (ISO 16750-4), IP rating from IP67 to IP69K (IEC 60529), mating cycles of 100 to 500 (IEC 60512-9), cable length from 0.5 to 5 m, cable gauge of 0.35 to 1.5 mm² (ISO 6722), connector material PA66+30%GF (UL 94 V-0), contact plating gold 0.1 to 0.5 μm over nickel (ASTM B488), and weight of 20 to 150 g per assembly excluding cable. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application. The assembly is used in various environments, including engine compartments, and is resistant to high-pressure washdown. It is essential to confirm model-specific specifications with the manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The connector/cable assembly establishes electrical pathways between the speed sensor's internal circuitry and external monitoring or control equipment. It transmits analog or digital signals representing rotational speed while providing power to the sensor electronics. Proper shielding and insulation prevent signal interference and ensure accurate speed measurement transmission. The assembly must maintain low contact resistance to minimize signal loss and withstand environmental conditions such as temperature extremes and moisture.
