What is Automotive Connectors?

Automotive connectors for the head unit to the car's electrical system, consisting of a system of four different connectors typically used in head units for car audio. connector A is always present, is usually black in color, and contains pins for power-supply, off/on (typically controlled by ignition key), optional control for a motorized antenna and so on. From 2000 and on wards, manufacturers, such as BMW, Citroen, Ford, Mercedes Benz, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Rover, Audi, Seat, Opel or koda have sometimes started using a 40-pin connector instead, called the Quad lock. The Quad lock connector consists of a block of 16 flat pins analogous to the two main ISO 10487 connectors.While the physical contact pins are the same, the pin allocation is not entirely the same, and the connector housing is not compatible. In addition to the 16 pins, like ISO 10487, there are minor connectors for optional equipment. They fit within the frame of the main connector, and has coding so that they cannot be interchanged. Minor connector B has 12 pins for audio output signals. Minor connector C has 12 pins for various audio sources such as CD-changers, MP3 players.
