High-Reliability Waterproof Connectors to Ensure Performance and Safety of Electric Motorcycles

Estimated read time 5 min read

With the global consensus and goal of going green and reducing carbon emissions, electric motorcycles are taking the center stage in the world of motorcycles, outperforming their fuel-powered counterparts in terms of environmental friendliness and low carbon footprint. For the increasingly popular electric motorcycles, ensuring a high-reliability power supply between the battery pack and the motor is considered a crucial measure to guarantee the overall quality of these vehicles.

One connector solution that has been widely adopted by many electric motorcycle manufacturers is the quick-plug LP series industrial waterproof connector developed by Shine Industry. This connector features secure and stable connections, single-handed quick operation, waterproof and dustproof capabilities, efficient transmission, and comes in small-sized models, perfectly meeting the technical requirements of electric motorcycles. Additionally, it boasts nearly 20 patented technological advantages, including design and utility patents, providing a strong guarantee for professional connections in high-quality electric motorcycles.

Analysis of Electric Motorcycle Connection Solutions

Electric motorcycles are a type of two-wheeled electric vehicle powered by a battery that drives the motor. They require the use of power and signal connectors. The power connector is responsible for conducting electricity from the battery to the motor, while the signal connector is used for speed control, sensor feedback, and other functions.

In the LP series waterproof connector solution provided by Shine Industry for electric motorcycles, the LP series three- and four-core power connectors enable the power connection between the battery pack and the motor. The LP series multi-core signal connectors ensure efficient and delay-free transmission for speed control and sensor feedback. These connectors are designed to perfectly match the connection requirements of electric motorcycles and exhibit the following features:

Superior Locking Connection and Quick Operation

Shine Industry’s LP series industrial waterproof connectors employ a push-and-plug connection method, which has earned a national utility model patent for its convenient installation structure. This technology offers significant advantages. On one hand, it ensures a secure and reliable connection and locking. On the other hand, it enables efficient and quick interconnection, allowing for easy plug and unplug with just one hand.

As a result, electric motorcycles equipped with these connectors can maintain a stable connection even when traveling at high speeds or encountering rough road conditions. Furthermore, the quick installation operation improves the overall efficiency of vehicle assembly for manufacturers and facilitates convenient inspection during maintenance and repair procedures.

Industrial-grade Waterproofing, Unaffected by Car Washes and Outdoor Liquids

Shine Industry’s LP series waterproof connectors demonstrate excellent waterproof performance, with the highest waterproof rating reaching IP68. The standard models are generally equipped with IP65/IP67 ratings, allowing users to choose the appropriate level based on specific usage scenarios. The outstanding waterproof capabilities of the LP series connectors lie in their patented waterproof structure.

While electric motorcycles undergo waterproof treatments in critical areas, they still face the risk of liquid ingress in everyday use. Rainy weather, outdoor parking, and vehicle cleaning may expose connectors to water. Shine Industry’s LP series industrial connectors, with their high waterproof capabilities, provide all-weather protection for power and signal transmission in electric motorcycles, ensuring safer and more reliable connections.

Quality Materials for Efficient Power and Signal Transmission

The contact terminals of connectors are the direct carriers of power and signal transmission, directly impacting the transmission performance of the connectors. The LP series industrial waterproof connectors from Shine Industry prioritize material quality and adopt high-quality solid copper alloys for the contact terminals. These terminals undergo nickel-plating treatment, resulting in excellent temperature rise performance and conductivity. With outstanding temperature rise performance below 30K, these connectors ensure that they do not overheat during long-distance rides, ensuring efficient, stable, and reliable power and signal transmission, thereby providing a reliable connection guarantee for the quality and performance of electric motorcycles.

Smaller Size to Meet Compact Design Requirements of Electric Motorcycles

Shine Industry’s LP series industrial connectors come in various sizes, including M12, M16, M20, M24, and M28, allowing users to select the appropriate small-sized connectors based on design requirements and electrical specifications. This is crucial for electric motorcycle designers who prioritize compactness and efficient use of space.

Designing electric motorcycles emphasizes compactness and space utilization. In the limited space of an electric motorcycle’s body, every component strives to be smaller while ensuring optimal performance. Shine Industry’s LP series connectors, available in small sizes such as M12 and M16, are preferred industrial connector products that meet the demands of compact designs in electric motorcycles. They contribute to optimizing the internal structure and achieving a compact overall motorcycle structure.

Red Dot Award-winning BD Series: A New Choice for Electric Motorcycle Power and Signal Connections

In addition to the LP series industrial waterproof connectors mentioned above, the BD series, which has received the prestigious Red Dot Award, is also an impressive choice for electric motorcycles. Both connector series offer a wide range of connector types, support single-handed quick insertion, exhibit excellent adaptability to harsh environments, and are available in metal and plastic variations. They are interchangeable in terms of installation dimensions and electrical performance.

Conclusion

The performance and reliability of electric motorcycles heavily rely on small components such as connectors. Shine Industry’s LP series industrial waterproof connectors and the award-winning BD series provide ideal solutions for power and signal connections in electric motorcycles. With their stable and secure connections, quick operation, robust waterproofing, efficient transmission, and small form factors, these connectors ensure high-quality performance, all-weather protection, and optimized design for electric motorcycles.

As the world transitions toward greener transportation options, these small-sized connectors play a pivotal role in guaranteeing the success of electric motorcycles and contributing to a sustainable future.
