Vehicles are becoming equipped with an increasing number of sensors, including LiDAR, Radar and cameras. In addition, electronic control units (ECUs) are becoming more powerful, requiring greater numbers of high-speed data as well as signal and power connections in increasingly smaller PCBs. To meet this challenge, TE’s NET-AX+ modular hybrid connector system supports high-speed differential and coaxial data transmission as well as signal and power connections within a single connector assembly. Featuring a chiclet-based building-block design, customizable and modular header design, it offers up to 40% reduced PCB footprint, 80% fewer mating assemblies and optimized installation space for the harness connector.
