Injection moulded connection

Durable connections to Truck & Trailer

Overmoulded connectors for Truck & Trailer require high-performance sheathing to ensure long-term and long-distance service. elkatec^™ is a specialist for permanent electrical cabling for tractors and trailers. At Werne in Germany, the company produces quality-tested safety for particularly long-lasting connections.
Cables and moulded connectors are optimally encapsulated in production process and thermally safety fixed. The range of applications includes a variety of plug-in systems and combinations, which cover all possibilities of modern electronic control in trucks and trailers.

elkatec^™ offers low-pressure moulding technology for the possibility of connector systems such as Superseal, HDSCS, 4-pole DIN bayonet, 7-pole bayonet and many more and to achieve a significant increase in performance. a logical solution, in view of increasing demands on the connections used in truck and trailer cabling. Furthermore, printed circuit boards can be attached to existing plug systems and then these will be extrusion coated with the plugs. Because of the selected method many positive properties can be linked to one another:

Positive effects / Molded circuit board:

e.g. Replacement for electronics housings
e.g. Compact design
e.g. Multiplex function possible
e.g. Protection against corrosion of components
e.g. Waterproof components – protection class IP6K9K
e.g. Protection against vibration
e.g. Contact protection
e.g. Electrical insulation
etc.

Individual production, as well as small-scale production, makes elkatec^™ a flexible problem solver for the connection of different systems or for the complex trailer architecture of electrical cables and functions. Cable connections such as HDSCS connectors, Superseal, DIN bayonet, EBS connections, lighting cable connections, functional connectors, molded circuit board in Superseal connectors and much more are part of the comprehensive program of the German production facility. Suitable connections to WABCO-systems*, Knorr-Bremse* (Knorr Brakes) and many brand manufacturers are supplied by elkatec^™ with OEM quality.

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.

elkatec^™ – Lösungsansatz: 6-pole Superseal pin moulded with circuit board, connection possible via connection cable 6-pole Superseal connector.

Project example: Molded circuit board in Superseal plugs

With the project example of molded circuit board, elkatec^™ offers the possibility, using the low pressure moulding technology, to install equipped circuit boards on proved connector systems and then overmoulding all inserted parts. Based on the selected method, so many positive attributes can be linked to one another (More info see elkatec^™-catalog.
