With the rapid rise of the new energy vehicle industry, the entire automotive electronics system has higher requirements for the performance, stability, and delivery guarantee of connectors. As a key electrical component for electrical connections, connectors are widely used in multiple core scenarios, including in-vehicle controllers, power battery systems, BMS battery management systems, charging pile modules, and autonomous driving auxiliary equipment.
Among numerous connector brands, Adam Tech is an American company with over 35 years of experience, focusing on the research and development and production of high-quality interconnection products. Its product line covers:
● Board-to-board, line-to-board connector
●USB, RJ45, D-Sub communication interfaces
● Circular waterproof connectors, terminal blocks, pin headers and sockets, etc. conventional components
Customized interconnection solutions for the industrial and automotive industries
Adam Tech connector is widely used in the field of automotive electronics and new energy equipment due to its excellent structural technology, vibration resistance, stable conductive ability, and high insertion and extraction life.
Typical applications in the field of new energy vehicles include:
● High-voltage distribution system connection: If using a circular waterproof connector, ensure safe and reliable current transmission
●BMS system signal transmission: High-speed board-to-board connectors are used to achieve signal coordination between multi-layer PCBs
● Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): Modular integration realized with a multi-PIN terminal block connector
● Vehicle Ethernet/RJ interface module: for autonomous driving communication system
⚠ Challenges ahead:
Although Adam Tech performs well in terms of performance, some pain points have also emerged during its use in the domestic market, such as:
The factory delivery time fluctuates greatly, especially for customized models with a long delivery cycle.
The procurement cost is relatively high, especially without cost advantage under small and medium batch demand.
●Slow after-sales response time, lack of localized engineering technical support
This has led many new energy vehicle parts companies to switch to alternative selection schemes for domestic connector brands.
Domestic Connector Replacement Application Cases:
Case One: A New Energy Powertrain Supplier Project
The original Adam Tech circular connector was used for motor control signal interfaces, but due to unstable delivery times, it was replaced with a domestic model. The structure is consistent, the conductivity is comparable, and it has passed the whole vehicle EMC and road test smoothly.
Case Two: BMS system board board-to-board connector alternative
The high-density pin model of Adam Tech is under pressure in trial production due to high costs, and it has been replaced with a domestically produced 1.27mm spacing connector, which does not require any changes to the PCB design, and has been in stable shipment for 8 months.
The accelerated development of the new energy vehicle industry has accelerated the technical verification and mass import of localized connector products. Domestic brands have made substantial progress in design capabilities, material selection, reliability testing, and delivery cycles, not only being able to replace the functions of imported connector brands such as Adam Tech, but also having obvious advantages in delivery efficiency and cost control. In the future, with the increase of the localization rate of the industrial chain, domestic connectors will play a more critical role in new energy vehicle whole vehicles and core component systems.
