Introduction to the classification of automotive cables in the industry market

With the rapid development of the automotive era, the development of the vehicle manufacturing industry has driven the growth of the automotive wiring harness industry. The demand and market size of automotive cables that connect electronic systems have also grown rapidly.

Used for power transmission, signal transmission and control of automobiles. Since the interior of a car is a working environment with various complex conditions such as vibration, friction, ozone, oil pollution, high heat, cold and electromagnetic radiation, automotive cables are required to have various functions such as heat resistance, cold resistance, wear resistance, oil resistance and anti-interference to ensure the safety of automobile driving.

From the perspective of the market segmentation, automotive cables are classified into various categories according to their use, voltage, temperature resistance and material. Among them, automotive cables can be divided into low-voltage cables and high-voltage cables according to voltage, which are used for general automotive low-voltage cables and power batteries of new energy vehicles. As well as high-voltage cables used inside charging pile equipment, the cables connected to the charging end of the car need to meet standard requirements.

Different from the low-voltage cables required for traditional automobile engines, the high-voltage cables required for the power batteries of new energy vehicles have an operating voltage of 600V or even 1000V (specifications: 600V~1000V); and factors such as high temperature resistance, shielding performance, corrosion resistance, thin wall, softness, and electromagnetic compatibility with the vehicle electrical system need to be considered. Therefore, new energy vehicle high-voltage cables are more valuable than traditional automotive cables.
