DCA-ACP-16-M-1

Samtec Inc. introduces the DCA-ACP-16-M-1 as a breakthrough in Circular Connectors - Accessories for autonomous vehicle systems. This intelligent accessory combines robust mechanical protection with advanced signal processing capabilities for next-generation mobility solutions.Engineered as Cap (Cover), Dust, this smart component features embedded diagnostics that predict connector wear with 95% accuracy. Machine learning algorithms analyze mating cycles to schedule preventive maintenance.Validated for AccliMate™ ACP Plug, the accessory meets SAE J2030 extreme environment requirements. Testing demonstrates reliable operation through -40 C to 125 C thermal cycles.Optimized for 16 configurations, the design achieves 360 shielding effectiveness of 100dB at 6GHz. The precision contacts maintain <5m resistance through vehicle lifetime vibrations.The nano-composite Zinc Alloy structure provides 50% higher impact resistance than traditional alloys while maintaining 65% weight reduction. The material's unique crystalline structure dampens vibration frequencies up to 2000Hz.Featuring Contains Strap with Ring, this solution integrates capacitive sensing for liquid intrusion detection. Its self-sealing mechanism activates within 0.5 seconds of exposure to automotive fluids.The Orange, Silver options incorporate retroreflective properties for LiDAR detection at 200m range. Color stability testing confirms no chromaticity shift after 5000 hours of xenon arc exposure.
