As in-car features multiply, the constraints on space, weight, power and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are growing tighter. And with software playing a more central role, automakers are looking for ways to integrate systems with reliable, high-bandwidth connections.
Digital Connectivity
Molex works closely with OEMs and tier-one suppliers to move in-vehicle computing forward. Our portfolio of miniaturized connectors, high-speed networking cabling and camera components supports the next generation of digital cockpits and in-vehicle infotainment.
Central Information Display
The Molex portfolio of micro Board-to-Board, Flexible Flat Cable (FFC) and Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC), I/O Camera and Backshell solutions are designed to support next-generation information management in digital cockpit designs.
In the central touchscreen, the FD19 series of Easy-On FFC/FPC Connectors provides a flat, flexible micro connection between the main PCB and the central touchscreen. Designed and tested to solve coplanarity and other issues in machine fabrication, FD19 Easy-On components are reliable, robust and easy to attach.
Heads-Up Display
To integrate heads-up display (HUD) designs into the digital cockpit, engineers need spatial flexibility to fit and access parts in an already crowded dashboard.
The wide variety of compact Molex interconnects have become best in class for their easy installation and no-damage maintenance. Both the FD19 series of the Easy-On FFC/FPC line and the SlimStack Board-to-Board connectors provide dependable power and data transmission while easing space constraints.
Digital Rear View and Driver Monitoring System
Whether tracking traffic or keeping an eye on the driver, cameras play a key role in the digital cockpit. But manufacturers want to add cameras without increasing assembly time or compromising reliability.
The Automotive Camera Backshell Assembly Solutions are designed for easy installation and extraordinary durability. Its FAKRA interface supports high-speed media protocols for crystal-clear video.
