Quick Connectors for automotive fluid lines

With the broadest range of Quick Connectors on the market, ARaymond covers all automotive, truck and off-road vehicles, two and three wheelers solutions for fluid delivery systems.  ARaymond’s reputation as a fluid connection supplier began in the fuel delivery market. Today, our products are found in many applications, including fuel and fuel vapor lines, fuel tank filler necks, in-tank fuel applications, diesel leak-off rails, SCR, especially, heated lines, vacuum brake lines and low pressure power steering.  ARaymond also offers a full range of Quick Connectors for thermal management solutions for HVAC, engine and EV battery cooling systems.  
Our connectors help automotive manufacturers reach their cost, weight, and space reduction targets. And, because they limit assembly effort and cycle times, they also improve assembly-line ergonomics and productivity.
Choose from a wide variety of connector designs and sizes to satisfy both SAE J2044 and VDA specifications.  In addition to our standard one- or two-button QCs, we also provide the option for connectors to have assembly proofing devices as well as integrated functions such as shut-off valves, calibrated valves, and pressures check valves. 

Secure connections for fluid integrity

Text

We are committed to quality and low permeation. Our QCs are leak tested and retaining springs are functionally tested during the assembly process, guaranteeing a quick and secure connection.

Click P2L®: double latching system

Click P2L®

The Click P2L® features a double latching system with a secured connection that is achieved by a double primary and secondary lock. The secondary lock can only be closed after the primary latch has been fully engaged with the end piece. The operator on the assembly line receives an obvious audible, visual and tactile confirmation of the connected state on the assembly line;
Until the secondary lock is voluntary re-opened, it ensures the primary cannot be opened. It can then be disconnected with or without a tool, with one hand only and even in limited access.

Selfy®: automatic connection

Selfy®: automatic connection

The Selfy® QC requires only one assembly operation to connect and secure the line, requiring one operator, thanks to its automatic connection. The locker automatically locks when the end piece is properly seated. It is easy to assemble and dis-assemble with one hand in tight space. Once securely connected, the locker's position gives an obvious confirmation of the connected state on the assembly line.

P2L®: manual connection with visual confirmation

Quick Connector P2L

This patented ARaymond™ Quick Connector P2L® (Push to Lock) offers the advantage of a visual and tactile confirmation of the connection: The lock latches only once the end piece is fully engaged.

The robust design of the P2L allows the tube to be crimped substantially without compromising the connection.

Compliant with the SAE J2044 standard, the Quick Connector P2L® is used for most car and truck fuel lines and battery and engine cooling lines. For transmission and engine oil cooling lines requiring higher operating pressure, a metal insert can be added to the Quick Connector P2L® to allow better tube crimping and higher pull-off force.

TECHNOLOGY FOCUS

A fuel connector for severe conditions

The Metal P2L®  is a stainless steel version of the P2L® (“Push-to-Lock”) PPA plastic fuel connector. This metal version offers improved crash test, temperature, and pressure performance.

The Metal P2L® is ideal for fuel-line connections in the engine compartment. It can also be assembled using crimping to reinforce high-temperature fuel hoses in the engine compartment. Unlike many other metal fluid connections on the market, it does not require a secondary latch or special tool for disassembly and provides packaging advantages over other manufacturers’ products for when space is limited.

Accessories - Check connection

Accessories - Check connection

The Assembly Check is used to confirm that the SAE J2044 end piece is securely connected. Two versions are available on our two-button QC: 
 

Accessories to check the connection

Assembly Check Pull Tab


A plastic pull tab is automatically ejected, confirming that the end piece is fully engaged. The tabs can then be counted to check the number of secure connections.

Securing connection on the production line

Securing connection operations on the production line

Our innovative design can provide a simple and secure connection for all applications, with visual, tactile, or audible confirmation. Our QCs are ideal for critical environments like fuel lines or electrified engine battery pack, or where access might be difficult, such as blind assembly where an extra confirmation of connection is needed.

Securing connection on the production line

Value-added features

Our Quick Connectors offer additional features to optimize your fluid lines, reduce the number of components, cut the number of assembly steps, and reduce costs.

Mechatronics: integration of sensors and actuators

Mechatronics

Both traditional internal combustion engines and HEV/EV powertrains require parameters measurement to enhance performance, lower fuel consumption and increase battery life and capacity. Many sensors can be embedded in our quick connectors for fast and reliable parameters measurement like temperature and pressure.

We drew on our expertise in fluid lines, leakage management, and assembly to integrate sensors and actuators into our QCs for better electrical and mechanical performance.

”

Our QCs with integrated electrical functions offer advantages in terms of assembly time reduction, increased quality of assembly, reduction of parts and weight, and better management of leakage risk. We offer the flexibility of integrating these sensors into different QC designs to meet specific requirements while always ensuring a robust integrated design for applications like liquid and vapor fuel, water cooling, and brake booster systems. Our mechatronics expertise is backed by our mechanical, environmental, and functional testing facilities.

Valves: fluid flow control

Valves

Our valves are directly integrated to the QC and require no action from the operator to be switched on:

Valves: fluid flow control

Shut-off valve is open when connected to an end piece and closed when disconnected.

One-way valve allows fluid to flow in one direction only.

Calibrated valve opens at a given fluid pressure and allows fluid to flow in one direction only.

Integrated functions

Pressure regulator allows adjustments to the fluid for when accurate pressure control is required in relation to a functional pressure/flow rate curve.

The RG® Valve allows priming with the system for when access is required for maintenance or troubleshooting. The valve is manually opened or closed and has a drain feature.

Smart valve for thermal management systems

A thermostatic valve is a self-regulating valve enabling the automatic control of a fluid temperature by adjusting the cold and hot flows into the line. Directly embedded in a quick connector, ARaymond smart valve allows a fine, passive and fast management of the fluid temperature while reducing the complexity of the systems.

We guarantee that our integrated functions perfectly match each customer’s specific needs.

”

Our integrated functions are developed to meet customer specifications. Very early in the project, we simulate several concepts we then use to make recommendations to guarantee that the part perfectly matches the customer’s needs. We then complete testing on our hydraulic and air benches for even greater precision.
