PD-CN-12

Power Dynamics, Inc.'s PD-CN-12 sets new benchmarks in Solid State Lighting Connectors performance, specifically developed for automotive electrification systems. This ruggedized solution combines EMI shielding with waterproof construction, addressing the stringent requirements of next-generation vehicle architectures.With its Board to Cable/Wire architecture, the connector supports both power delivery and high-speed data networks in unified packaging. The hybrid design eliminates separate wiring runs, reducing vehicle weight by up to 15% in harness-intensive applications.The Receptacle, Non-Gendered interface incorporates IP67-rated sealing when mated, protecting sensitive electronics from fluid ingress. Dual-contact wiping action ensures reliable connectivity despite road-induced vibrations.Scalable from 2 positions, the modular system grows with evolving E/E architectures. Position-specific keying prevents misalignment during harness assembly in low-light service conditions.Engineered for Free Hanging (In-Line) installation, the connector withstands G-force loads encountered in collision scenarios. The breakaway design protects wiring integrity during impact events.The Poke-In method has been validated for 85 C continuous operation in engine compartments. Self-fluxing alloys create reliable joints without additional processing steps.The 0.268" (6.80mm) dimension accommodates 2.5mm power conductors alongside 0.35mm signal wires in unified cavities. Staggered contact arrangement minimizes crosstalk between adjacent circuits.Orange pigmentation meets automotive OEM color-coding standards while resisting chemical degradation from underhood fluids. High-visibility tones facilitate assembly line error-proofing.Optimized for 18-22 AWG automotive-grade cables, the connector handles both 48V mild hybrid and 400V BEV power levels. Integrated ferrules prevent strand breakage during terminal crimping.Copper Alloy formulation resists sulfurization from exhaust gases, maintaining <10m contact resistance throughout the vehicle lifecycle. The alloy's thermal expansion properties match surrounding materials to prevent stress fractures.The Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 compound achieves UL 746C F1 outdoor weathering ratings without UV-protective coatings. Material selection avoids halogenated compounds for environmental compliance.Performance-certified for 105°C environments, the connector survives thermal shock from winter cold starts to desert heat soaking. All materials maintain mechanical properties at temperature extremes.
