DC/DC converter connectors

When it comes to connectors for DC/DC converters, the interaction of all disciplines of high-current technology and know-how in the application is of paramount importance. High precision is required, particularly in the design and manufacture of tools, in order to avoid warping in larger connectors with complex, multi-layer geometry.

Suyin DC/DC converter connectors are precise and highly efficient, from amperage to watertightness and from size to accessibility, to ensure a tight fit of the cable lugs.

  • Integrated busbar with laser-welded or riveted class 10.9 bolts and bushings for high torque
  • Space-saving design through multiple layers of busbars
  • Protection class IP67 due to injection-molded contacts and potted backside
  • Consistent quality through automated production, 100% inspection and testing, sealed packaging – all in ISO 14644 clean room if required

BUSBAR

The Suyin busbar, a metal strip for high current transmission, is designed for power distribution in e-mobility. Design and production meet customer requirements by:

  • Complex deep drawing, blanking, bending and forming of busbars
  • Tight production tolerances for perfect electric contact with high conductivity
  • Wide range of high IACS copper alloy and aluminum materials available
  • Custom designs with up to 1000 mm length and 10 mm thickness

C-MACH machined charging pins

For applications with highest currents above 300 A, CNC-machined solid-body contacts with lamellar joints are still the state of the art. Suyin’s products offer you the following advantages:

  • Customizable contact pins according to your individual charging housing and wire termination
  • Highly conductive copper alloy with galvanic silver plating protected by lubricant
  • Capable of handling the rated currents required for fast charging

Validated according to SAE J1772, IEC 62196-3 and GB/T 20234.3 standards.

MULTI-INTERFACE CONNECTORS

Multi-interface connectors combine individual standard connectors into one product, providing you with increased efficiency from material management, logistics and production.

This includes:

  • Less size, weight and material consumption to save costs and reduce environmental impact
  • Efficient BOM management by cutting down several part numbers to a single one
  • Reduced transportation costs
  • Simplifying your production process and increase PCBA process efficiency

Press-Fit CONNECTORS

The demand for press-fit connections has increased steadily in recent years. No wonder, as this technology offers a number of advantages over others:

  • Solderless processing without thermal stress on the components
  • Higher throughput in PCB assembly thanks to simple mechanical mounting
  • Higher reliability compared to conventional solder joint connections (no dry joints, cracking etc.)
  • Significantly lower risk of tin whisker formation, which is particularly important in high-safety applications
  • Environmentally friendly technology (no solder or flux is used)

Suyin develops and manufactures such connectors in various designs and materials according to your specifications. Our custom-made press-fit connectors offer you

  • Certification according to IEC 60352-5
  • Pin thicknesses of 0.40, 0.60, 0.64 and 0.80 mm
  • Base materials CuSn or CuNiSi to meet specific requirements for electrical characteristics and tensile strength

Board-to-Board connectors

Suyin offers a wide range of standard board-to-board connectors with a pitch from 0.4 mm to 2.54 mm and customization service to tailor interconnectivity to your specific requirements. Options for the customization of board-to-board connectors include, but are not limited to:

  • Custom heights for plug and socket for flexible design of the board-to-board stack height
  • PCB mounting technologies such as SMT, THT, THR (PIP), press-fit types, and mixed mounting configurations are possible as well
  • Contact distance according to industry standards or freely defined by customer; wider pitch and distance between contact rows as well as selective loading of the contact positions increase dielectric strength
  • Connector mating angles according to customer’s application requirement
  • FEM-simulated design of your connector application to find the best solution, e.g. for blind mating
  • Overall or selective contact plating with tin, gold, silver or PdNi
  • Individual connector packaging design matching your automated PCB assembly process

Rigid-Flex Connections

If your application requires more flexibility in the connection angle and higher vibration and shock resistance than a fixed board-to-board connection can offer, then we recommend our rigid-flex cable and connector assemblies. They combine the benefits of being rock-solid in the connection to the PCB, while the FPC is bendable in every direction between two PCBs.

  • Rigid FR4 board with SMT- or THT-soldered connectors
  • FPCs in every length and number of copper traces
  • Multi-layer FPC for individual pin mapping
  • The Rigid-Flex connector and FPC cable are a complete, cost-effective solution for PCB interconnection
