High-speed connector for next-generation automotive infotainment

The connectors enable stable and high-speed data communication under harsh conditions by using connector position assurance (CPA) to provide secure mating. This allows the AU1 connectors to meet the automotive requirements for vibration and heat resistance.

 In infotainment systems, such as automotive displays, the AU1 Series connectors can be combined with technology of FX23 Series connectors to provide high-speed, high-reliability board-to-board connectivity. The combination supports the overall stability of the system and performance.

 To provide a bridge between internal and external connections, the AU1 Series connectors work seamlessly with the CX Series of connectors to provide connections to external devices. Advanced features and seamless integration are supported within the infotainment system, and the result maintains consistent high-speed data transfer in addition to reliable connectivity across the complete infotainment system.

The AU1 Series connectors support advanced digitalization and electrification, which includes large high-resolution displays and multifunctional interfaces which form part of a sophisticated information hub.

As automotive systems become more complex, there is greater need for reliability connections. The future of automotive connectivity needs to integrate technologies such as 5G cloud services, AI voice assistants, AR navigation, and V2V communication. The challenge is to handle data with high-speed transmission, while saving space in a complex system to ensure resilience in the tough automotive environment.
