HDSCS – the new generation of connectors and cabling

HDSCS-System – Heavy Duty Sealed Connector

Today elkatec^™ is capable of overmolding all HDSCS variants that are shown above with the low-pressure moulding technology. The opportunities that result from this enlarge the existing performance significantly. HDSCS is the future of safe truck and trailer plug connections. HDSCS “Heavy Duty Sealed Connectors” set new standards for heavy load traffic and similar off-roaders that make cable-to-device and wire-to-wire connections even safer. The new product family aims at the highest performance values and, with other new developments, forms the new generation of Truck & Trailer high-performance cables.

Possible applications:

The new generation of HDSCS connectors are increasingly used in truck and trailer cabling. Many well-known truck manufacturers (MAN, DAIMLER, DAF …) are already using these plug-in connections. Here, rear lights, exhaust systems and AdBlue tanks are already fitted with the HDSCS interface. For this, elkatec^™ will offer you a variety of standard and professionally encapsulated overmoulded cable variants.

Five housing sizes and four codings …

The Heavy Duty Sealed Connector System HDSCS offers high performance against extreme environmental influences. The system is designed for electronic and electrical applications in vehicles where extreme vibrations and mechanical stresses affect the individual components. This system offers different contact arrangements and allows mixed cable cross sections. The plug connections are equipped with a special secondary lock according to the Poke-Yoke procedure and can be used “flying”.
elkatec^™ HDSCS connectors are available in five different housing sizes and with four codings.

HDSCS Features:

For contacts of size:
6,3 (up to 40A)
2,8 (up to 40A)
1,5 (up to 20A)
Cross-sections from 6,0mm² to 0,5mm²
Plug-in position for 2 / 3 / 4 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 10 / 12 / 15 / 16 /18 contacts
Lock slider
Secondary locking of the contacts
Temperature range -40°C bis +100°C

CAN Bus basics / General Introduction
Interfaces are used to transfer information between the individual components of a system. In a bus system, all components are connected via short stub lines to a common data line. The effort for the wiring is thereby minimized. In this case, additional components can be easily connected.

The data flow must be controlled via an access procedure (protocol) if all components use a common bus line. As much as possible components from different manufacturers should work together. The Controller Area Network (CAN) connects several equal components (node) via a 2-wire bus plus additional ground line. The CAN protocol was developed in 1983 by “Bosch” for use in motor vehicles and first presented to the public in 1986.

Due to the high immunity to interference, the low costs and the real-time capability, CAN is not only used in the automotive industry but also in many other sectors (eg commercial vehicles, mobile machinery, railways, medical technology, industrial automation, elevators, etc.) as a machine bus system.

Bus termination (terminator)
Bus termination takes place on the CAN bus with a line topology of 120 ohms at both ends of the network.
Termination is recommended even for short lines with low bit rates. Without termination, there are reflections. In practice, terminations at one end are sufficient for short lines, but ideally the bus is terminated at both ends (and only there) with 120 ohms each.
