Molex Incorporated

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
