Features and Benefits
Today’s high-speed data connections are predominantly made with single-circuit connectors packaged alongside power and signal connections. MX-Dash Connectors combine high-speed data and traditional power and signal circuits into one connection system, reducing the need for extra single-circuit connections and lowering the cost of the entire electrical system.
As automotive designs evolve to include zonal architecture, engineers will need connectivity solutions that can manage multiple interfaces and functions while taking up minimal space in limited real estate. The MX-DaSH system is designed to support zonal architecture requirements and the need for compact connectivity to an ECU/computer.
There are some design features that are important to help ensure a consistent connection every time. MX-DaSH wire-to-wire products feature industry-leading male blade stabilization and independent secondary locks to ensure that terminals mate properly.
As wiring architectures change to meet consumer demands for more functionality, the architecture must adapt to meet networking requirements. The modular design of MX-DaSH wire-to-board connectors offers several form factor options with interchangeable modules integrated inside the MX-DaSH header.
Sealed and Unsealed Connectors
Multiple circuit counts and power/signal combinations provide compact, hybrid connectivity for a range of automotive applications needing high-speed signal transmission in both in-cable and I/O applications.
