HSAutoLink II Interconnect System

Molex Incorporated announces the introduction of its next-generation HSAutoLink II Interconnect System. Delivering on the automotive industry’s need for multiple high-speed media protocols, the HSAutoLink II Interconnect System meets all these demands in one system.

• Typical applications include in-vehicle infotainment, telematic devices, radio and navigation systems
• Meets needs of advanced drive assist cameras, including 360-degree and rear view vision systems
• Provides data rates in excess of 2.0 Gbps and the ability to support different communication networks or protocols
• Available with six and 12 circuits providing flexibility for combined links or support for multiple protocols in the same connector
• Supports USB 2.0, USB 3.0, LVDS, Ethernet AVB (Audio Visual Bridging), and modified HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort
• Use of shielded twisted-pair (STP) or jacketed unshielded twisted pair (JUTP) cabling provides a range of options for high-speed differential signaling applications
• Uses terminal interface designed for high pin-count signal applications requiring high reliability and high-speed signaling performance
• Low contact insertion force (0.5N per circuit) is achieved through terminal design that gradually separates the receptacle contacts for high durability
• Withstands up to 5,000 mating cycles with a standard gold plating finish
• Two contact beams provide multiple current paths with minimal length, and low and stable contact resistance
• Contact geometry and density promotes high bandwidth performance with a nominal data-rate measured between 3 to 4 GHz in a differential signaling environment
•  Contact system provides current carrying capacity of 1.5Amps (continuous)
• Fully-protected shield case for harness connector (sealed or unsealed) and closed shield case on the mating soldering side or in-line connection, provides superior EMI performance
• Sealed connector system employs fully-protected perimeter seal and wire seal to meet harsh operating requirements according to IP69K
