Focusing on the interests of the automotive industry, PROVERTHA Automotive Solutions is an independent business unit of PROVERTHA. It develops and produces components and assembly units and specialises in the production of connectors, assembly units in the area of plastics technology and complex cable assemblies.

PROVERTHA offers highly efficient serial production to produce these products in the best possible quality.

One example is PROVERTHA's interface connectors for electrical car control units which require the precise contact assembly to allow overmoulding. Collaborating with the customer, a die-cast material for this application and contacts with very low tolerance deviation were determined, yielding a non-deforming component.

Suitable for sensor attachment in cars, such as a connecting cable for exhaust sensors, PROVERTHA has developed interface connectors requiring customer-specific component geometry with various coding possibilities and colours. This resulted in a complete new construction and development of a connector range according to customer guidelines.

PROVERTHA Automotive Solutions also produces car gear sensors, which require a 3-pole overmoulded connector with 180° solder pins. The company accepted the challenge to develop and produce a component with small connector geometry, extended contact length and compliance to PCB hole tolerances for secure solder process.

PROVERTHA is able to realise sophisticated connectivity solutions for the automotive industry at short notice thanks to in-house moulding technology, mould tool design and production, component development and core competency in connectors.
