Glossary of Terms 5 About Wiring Harnes
Receptacle
A female flange mounted wiring device with the conducting elements recessed behind the mating
surface. Often referred to as an outlet. This type of device is normally wired to be live when nothing is
plugged in to it. Therefore, receptacles are wired to the source of power.
RoHS
Restriction of Hazardous Substances; A European directive dictating materials that may not be used in
the manufacture of certain products. Materials restricted include: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent
Chromium, Polybrominated Byphenyls, and Plybrominated Diphenyl Ether.
ROJ
The designation to Remove […]
Glossary of Terms 4 About Wiring Harness
Inlet
A male flange mounted wiring device with the conducting pins protruding and exposed. This type device
should never be wired to make the exposed pins live while the mating device is unplugged.
Insulation
The material that encases a conductor preventing leakage of current from a conductor.
IP Rating
Ingress Protection Rating; A two digit code, and an optional letter, specifying the level of protection from
foreign objects with the first digit referring to protection from solids and the second digit referring to protection
from liquids. The […]
Glossary of Terms 3 About Wiring Harness
Fuse
A safety device consisting of a strip of wire that melts and breaks an electric circuit if the current exceeds
a safe level.
GFCI
Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter; An electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it
detects that the electric current is not balanced between the energized conductor and the return neutral
conductor. Such an imbalance is sometimes caused by current leakage through the body of a person
who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit.
Ground
A connection between an electrical device […]
Glossary of Terms 2 About Wiring Harness
Connector
A female cord mounted wiring device with the conducting elements recessed behind the mating surface.
This type of device is normally wired to be live when nothing is plugged in to it. Therefore, connectors
are wired to the source of power.
CSA
Canadian Standards Association; A Canadian product safety and certification organization. Their
registered mark shows that a product has been independently tested and certified to meet recognized
standards for safety or performance.
Current
The rate of flow of electrical energy through a conductor or wire, comparable […]
Glossary of Terms 1 About Wiring Harness
Adapter
A cord or block style device with different ends that allows different devices to connect.
AC
Alternating Current; Electric current that rises from zero to a maximum in one direction, falls to zero and then rises to a maximum in the opposite direction, and then repeats another cycle.
Amperage
Amps/Amperes/Ampacity/Rated Amperage -measurement of the flow rate of electricity. If you think in terms of water through a hose, amperage would be a measure of water volume flowing through the hose.
AWG
American Wire Gauge; standard […]
What is LVDS cable
Low-voltage differential signaling, or LVDS, is an electrical digital signaling standard that can run at very high speeds over inexpensive twisted-pair copper cables. It specifies the electrical-level details for interoperability between inputs and outputs on integrated circuit chips. Since it is the physical layer specification only, many data communication standards and applications use it but then add a data link layer as defined in the OSI model on top of it.
2.Application of LVDS cable
LCD-TVs, automotive infotainment systems, industrial cameras […]
MOLEX Quick-Disconnect Terminals
Quick-Disconnect (QD) Terminals are constructed of tin-plated brass, per NEMA specifications, that area available insulated, non-insulated, or partially insulated. The insulators are molded vinyl (PVC), extruded nylon or molded nylon. The Quick Disconnect family consists of fully insulated male quick disconnects, Avikrimp™ fully-insulated quick disconnects, Flags and Piggyback Quick Disconnects.
Ecocables is able to supply all molex quick-disconnect terminals on the wire harness. And Chinese equivalent terminals are also available. Chinese equivalent is more cost-effective and fast delivery.
