Within Wenyi Electric's hot runner connector series, the WQC001 is currently the most widely applied model, having become the mainstream choice for applications in new energy, energy storage, and high-pressure injection molding scenarios.
1. WQC001 - The Mainstream Standard-Bearer: High Protection and Strong Adaptability
Core Advantages:
Protection Rating: Reaches IP68 (when thread sealant is applied), offering protection against dust and water immersion; suitable for industrial environments that are humid, dusty, or require regular wash-downs.
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +100°C (with short-term tolerance up to +120°C), fully accommodating the thermal cycling conditions typical of hot runner systems.
Construction: Features a housing made of nylon combined with nickel-plated brass, offering an excellent balance between corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, cost-effectiveness, and performance.
Compliance: RoHS certified; free of halogens, phosphorus, and cadmium, thereby meeting strict environmental protection requirements.
Application Scenarios:
Widely utilized in fields demanding extremely high reliability-such as energy storage systems, new energy vehicle battery production lines, and high-voltage fast-charging equipment.
Due to its high level of protection and long service life (rated for over 100,000 mating cycles), it has become a preferred component choice for industry leaders such as BYD and CATL.
2. WQC005 - Specialized for New Energy Support: A Dedicated Workhorse
Positioning: Classified as a "National Standard AC Charging Socket," it serves primarily as an energy interface within electrified production lines; its functional scope is relatively specialized.
Although it belongs to the same high-protection series as the WQC001, it is designed primarily for power input rather than signal transmission; consequently, it is used less frequently than the WQC001 within hot runner temperature control systems.
3. WGY001 / WGY002 - The Signal Transmission Mainstay: Suitable, Yet Not the "Most Widely Used"
Category: Part of the general connector series, utilized primarily for signal connections within hot runner temperature control systems-such as temperature feedback and control command transmission.
WGY001: The basic model, offering 6 to 16 pins.
WGY002: The enhanced model, capable of supporting higher current loads and more complex wiring configurations. Although widely applied, its primary role is that of "auxiliary control"; consequently, in "core power connection" scenarios, its frequency of use remains lower than that of the WQC001.
