In high reliability applications such as automotive electronics, industrial equipment, and precision instruments, the environmental adaptability test of connectors is a critical link to ensure their long-term stable operation. As a well-known Japanese connector manufacturer, HTK/HONDA has long served in the fields of automotive, home appliances, medical equipment, and industrial control, renowned for its durability and stability. However, with the acceleration of the domestic substitution trend, more and more enterprises are paying attention to the performance of domestic connectors under complex environments.

Application characteristics of HTK/HONDA connectorHTK/HONDA product design focuses on reliability, especially maintaining excellent electrical and mechanical properties under high temperature, high humidity, vibration, and salt mist environments. For example, common automotive connectors need to undergo 85℃/85%RH湿热 tests, vibration fatigue tests, and cold and hot shock tests to ensure long-term stability under the harsh conditions of automobiles.

Chapter 2 Practice of Domestic Connector Environmental Adaptability TestingIn order to verify the feasibility of replacing domestic connectors, we conducted a series of environmental adaptability tests on some models, mainly including:
High-temperature test: Keep the domestic connector energized under 125℃ environment for 500 hours, with the contact resistance change controlled within 10%, meeting the international standard requirements.
2. Low temperature impact test: In the rapid temperature change cycle between -40℃ and +105℃, the shell of the domestic product has no cracks, and the terminals maintain good elasticity.
3. Salt spray test: After 96 hours of salt spray, the surface coating of the domestic connector has corrosion resistance close to that of the HTK/HONDA original products.
4. Vibration test: Under the wide frequency vibration conditions of 10Hz-2000Hz, the insertion and extraction force of the domestic connector remains stable, and no poor contact has occurred.
Test data shows that some domestically produced connectors have gradually approached and even reached the level of imported brands in terms of environmental adaptability, and can meet the reliability requirements of scenarios such as automotive electronics and industrial automation.

Domestic connectors are rapidly narrowing the gap with international brands in terms of environmental adaptability, especially showing good stability in high-reliability applications such as automotive electronics. With the improvement of materials and manufacturing processes as well as testing methods, domestic alternatives are becoming an increasingly selectable option for more and more enterprises.
