When automotive technology progresses to a completely autonomous driving, the restrictions of traditional flatter and domain -based electronic architectures are becoming increasingly clear. This white paper, produced by Molex themed experts, examines how the miniaturization of Connector plays a central role in the enabling of the next generation automotive system designs, especially within the zonal architectural framework, which promise improved scalability, promise the complexity of the cabling and have improved vehicle performance.

Zonal architectures represent a transformative shift in which localized gateways replace central domain controllers in order to optimize the data flow, to reduce the weight of the wiring harness and to support the growing requirements of ADAS (Advanced Triver Assistance Systems). In order to exploit the full potential of this architecture, high-performance miniature connectors are essential. These connections must offer high data transmission rates, withstand extreme automotive environments and support a highly volume and automated assembly and at the same time maintain signal integrity and mechanical reliability.

Molex deals with a robust portfolio of Interconnect solutions, including 0.50 mm high-speed-swimming on-board connections, Duraclik ™ Wire-to-Board systems, SLIMSTACK ™ FPC-to-board connections as well as EASY-ON-FFC/FPC products. Each is constructed in such a way that they perform at high temperatures, shock and vibration with advanced characteristics such as a wide mating orientation, retention forces of up to 50 N and blind lottery skills that improve the assembly efficiency and reliability.

As a strategic sales partner of Molex, Heilind Electronics ensures that faster product access, design-in-support and supply chain assurance. Healing is in a unique position to learn one of the inventories that are spread across the industry to help the timelines of the automotive engineers to accelerate the development time plans and to achieve the increasing performance, miniaturization and sustainability goals of modern vehicle platforms.

Together, Molex and healing are delivering the solutions, support and the scale that are necessary to combine the future of mobility.
