Client:
Trafficmaster is the UK's leading journey management company, providing high quality satelite navigation, traffic data and vehicle tracking systems, using a state-of-the-art network of nationwide sensors and transmitters which gather and distribute traffic data for over 8,000 miles of motorway and truck routes.
Brief:
'SmartNav' is Trafficmaster's leading portable satelite navigation system, for which CIE Electronics were briefed to provide a quick-release connectivity cable assembly.
Designed to connect the navigation device to the vehicle's internal wiring loom, the cable assembly needed to support a high insertion rate and feature a robust quick-release mechanism.
The Solution:
CIE specified a high quality 2.5mm jack plug & socket and developed tooling for a custom snap-fit overmoulding sheath.
This bespoke moulded connection was tested and certified to 25,000 insertions.
